Hello,   I haven't mentioned my husband's grandmother's relatives for a while.   We visited with his siblings a few weeks ago, and I was able to find out a few more tidbits of information about the MOURA family.    And, I then rechecked census information.     When I posted before, I had found out that MOURA families from Portugal  / Azores were in Brooklyn after 1900.     But, I didn't know when "Manny" MOURA arrived there and remained living there possibly up into 1960's.    And, I still don't know whether he had relatives in Brooklyn and what was his reason to move there ~1920.   From census records, I was found the probable family of Emanuel and Carolena MOURA in 1930 in Brooklyn.    And, I found out he was the older brother, born 1891 probably on Sao Miguel, Azores.    The siblings we met with said they were known as "Manny" and "Cora" MOURA,  and they remember going to their home in the 1950's for a family wedding.      If I found the right couple in 1930, they were listed as living in Manhattan at that time.     This census record says they arrived in the US in 1908,  and they probably came to New Bedford, MA, first.    As they were ~40 in 1930,  I'm thinking they arrived  and possibly didn't have their first child until after arriving.      I have not yet found the family in the 1920 census,  but I need to check the various spellings of the name.   For example some of the children in 1930 have the MAURA spelling.     The children mentioned were:     Mary, 10, Charles, 7, William, 6, Murray, 2, and an infant, Frank.   Manny's father was Francisco "Frank" MOURA who was reported to have been a whaler and possibly he died at sea   ~1900.     His mother, Philomena (Phoebe) (ROSE) MOURA, arrived in MA  ~1912 as a widow.    And, Manny's brother was Francisco "Frank" MOURA, b1893 Azores.    The brother first lived in New Bedford, MA, but around 1920 moved to Oakdale, CA.   An FYI is that I just adopted the MOURA Message Board which needs more activity.   Betty               (near Lowell, MA)   (on Lists and Boards for 10 yrs.;  now an Admin for 9 Lists and 4 Boards)
