All these children were born in Massachusetts. Any info about this family would be appreciated I just spent this morning at Library looking for Obits and found that both John R Teixeira and his Wife Mary Fernandes were from Madeira Island Also that he is the son of John and Mary (Gomes) Teixeira and at the time of his death in 1973 he had two sisters and one brother living in Madeira, no names given. He died in Norton, Massachusetts Mary J. (Fernandes) was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs .Antonio Fernandes of Madeira. She died in 1974 in Attleboro, Massachusetts. Any corrections and additional information about these people would be appreciated. I would like to thank you in advance for any help.
