Florence G., other listers, I am trying to find the following family. I found them on the 1920 census living in Fall River MA on Ancestry but I cannot find them on the 1910 or the 1930 census records on Ancestry. I found a family that is close, but the ages of the children are not right. I have tried searching first name, last name, every way I can think of. In her sister's obituary in 1940, she is still listed as living in Fall River. She had one sister that lived in New Bedford and one who lived in Stonington CT (I am trying to get her obit from the Library there but so far no reply). I found Jennie in the 1900 census, unmarried, living with her sister in New Bedford. I found all the census records, death date info, etc. for the other sister in CT. I joined NEGHS but so far I have not been able to find any birth records for Jennie's daughter Mary. Here they are in 1920 census living at Sagamore St., Fall River: (Listed as LEMA on Ancestry) Antone Lima 45 Jennie Lima 35 Mary 11 Manuel 7 Lillian 4 Antone 11/12 Thanks for any help you can give me on this.

Elaine, Mary Lima was born 2 March 1908. The entry is 1908 volume 574 pg 194 item 531, town Fall River. Father was Antone, occupation Washer, mother Jennie F Furtado, residence 30 Sagamore, both parents born in the Azores Islds. Not sure why you couldn't find the entry. The name was correct and the image was connected. Would you let me know what you searched for, so I can help you with future searches?

Thank you, Sue. I did see this entry, but I had Jennie's maiden name as either Jacintha or Santos. I am going to assume this is her and try researching on this entry. Unfortunately, it still does not tell me the one question I have.....where exactly in the Azores Jennie was born. I will try to find a ship's manifest on Ancestry using the surname Furtado. Thanks again, Elaine
