Hi Patricia My name is Marcia. I live in South Africa. I have been in contact with some of the members from the list. I have recently moved house and only came back online yesterday. I now see an e-mail that you sent out to the list saying that list members could post the names of individuals that they are researching. Would it be possible for you to have a look and see if you can find the following:- (a) Marsial Vieira Serena (my great-grandfather - born circa 1901 in Madeira); (b) Maria Calderia Serena (my great-grandmother - I managed to check the spelling of the name "Calderia" on my great-grandfather's death notice in the archives here in South Africa and she herself spelt it that way when she filled in the death notice details - I at one stage thought it was "Caldeira" but obviously not). Thanks very much.
