Surname: Delgado
Comments: My family is in a state of emergency! Our Cape Verdean culture is on the verge of extinction due to ingorance and indifference. I would like to gain knowledge about my family and Cabo Verde as whole so future generations won't be denied our rich culture. Unfortunately, I don't have much to work with. My grandparents Joao de Deus Delgado and Joanna Almeida were born in Sao Nicolau. My grandfather was born on March 9, 189?. He died in 1979/80 in his early 90s. My grandmother died of tuberculosis when my mother (who is now 73, d.o.b. 9/8/25 in Fall River) was five. I believe the couple was married in the United States. All of their ten children were born in Fall River. I don't have all of the names, many are deceased. Some died as children. The list includes/ed Antonio Delgado, Joseph Delgado, Manual Delgado, Julia Delgado, Mary Rose (Maria Rosa) Delgado (Richardson), Mary Lou (Maria de Luz) Delgado (Green), Angelina (Angelina Joanna)Delgado (Riley), Olivia (Olivia Joanna)Delgado (Silva). Only Antonio and Mary were taught Creole.
(Note: my grandfather somehow managed to raise all ten on his own). In the late sixties my grandfather returned to his homeland and remarried. He also had another daughter who I would like to track down. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Any information anyone may have on our family history would be greatly appreciated.
