Anyone with any information, please email me. Thanks! Ines

It is believed he was in Fairhaven, MA. He arrived in Boston prior to 1900. He became a US citizen in 1900. I believe he also had 2 sisters. Theirs names, i believe, are caterina and maria (?) Since My great grandfather Manuel was disowned from his family, he never really talked about them. Manuel did leave his wife and son. Manuel died in 1954. His son died after he did of gout. It is believed his son was also named Victorino and had 2 kids. John and Nancy. John was maybe a doctor or in the medical field and Nancy was a singer, or so. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo! Mail http://personal.mail.yahoo.com/
