Date submitted: before 1998
Village: unknown
Surnames: Gomes, Monterio, Roderick, Pena.
Comments: When going through death, marriage and birth records, I found
that my grandparents on both sides came from Brava. I was under the impression
that my grandmothers came from Brava and my grandfathers came from Fogo.
The surnames of my grandmothers are Pena and Monterio. My grandfathers are
Gomes and Roderick. It is hard to get exact information because of American
spelling of Cape Veredan names are spelled wrong on town records.

Comments: My greatgrandfather, Manuel Lobo Pina, son of William Pina and
Pauldinha? was from the island Fogo. He had a nickname "nene de sharp". He
was born on Sept. 29, 1897. He came to New Bedford, MA on a boat in 1911.
He married Mariana Baptista Encarnacao from Brava parents of Joseph Encarnacao
and Maria Baptista. It is not know if they were married before or after
arriving in New Bedford. Mariana was quoted as saying that the boat she was
on arrived on the 4th of July in New Bedford, and they were quarantined on
the boat because they needed physicals and no one was working that day due
to the holiday.

Comments: I am interested in finding information out about where my father
is from. He died quite a few years ago but I know very little about him and
his past. When he died I was given some papers that belonged to him. My
children would like to know something about where he is from but I can't
really find anything about the particular area or if we have relatives there.
I have some letters written by a Maria Socasso Rodrigues, from Pigurrho(?)
Fogo that were sent in 1976 but they are all in Portuguese so I can't read
them. I also know he was born on September, 20, 1897 in RIBEIRA DO ILHEU
in the parish of NOSSA SENHORA DA AJUDA. His mother was Avelina Alves. She
died in 1921 and her parents were Faustino Alves and Feliciana Lopes. It
is rumored that he was raised by an aunt and uncle until he immigrated to
New Bedford Mass, USA. He was on the schooner (4 masted) WM H TRAPP out
of Fogo on or about June 5th 1921 (a Sunday). Does anyone know anything
about his family? Please let me know. Thank You.

was born on Fogo Island in CVI on June 15,1888 according to his Naturalization
application. His Parents names were Antonio Barros and Rita Rodrigues. He had

unknown. He immigrated to the USA on SS Maria Luiza on June 1, 1911 and
married Annie Gomes of Onset, MA on June 20, 1917 in Bridgeport, CT. Parents
of Annie Gomes were João Gomes and Maria Lomba of Brava Island, Cabo Verde. I
