    1. [PT-MADEIRA] Infant Death
    2. Once again I'm trying to find information about a child (a boy) who died at about 6 months of age when my ancestor and her husband were living in Madeira. I have very little information about the child but feel a burden to record and preserve information about him. Here's information about the child's parents: Father is Antonio Barros da Silva, born 13 June 1892 in Madeira. His parents were Manoel de Barros and Alexandrina C. Silva. Antonio married my ancestor, Senhorinha de Lima, 11 November 1916 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, U.S.A. She was born 16 November 1897 in Graciosa. Her parents were Tristao Correia de Lima and Isabel Thomasia Dutra. Antonio and Senhorinha voyaged to Madeira where their son was born in about 1929. After the child died at about 6 months of age, Antonio and Senhorinha returned to Massachusetts. It's sad to know that Antonio and Senhorinha had another child, a daughter, who died at birth in about 1934 in Massachusetts. I have been researching that child as well. I would be grateful if anyone can provide assistance in locating any information about the baby boy who died in Madeira. Muito obrigado, Greg Lima Washington State, U.S.A.
