Surnames: Costa/DeCosta/Moniz/Manish/Ponte
I just started looking up my family history. My great grandfather's name was Manuel DeCosta, although I have seen the spelling a few different ways, including DaCosta. He married Julia Moniz. I was told he was from New Bedford, Massachusetts, however, I have not been able to find info on him and most of my family has passed away. Their daughter's name (my grandmother)was Emily (married Manuel Manish-my grandfather). Her obituary says she was born in Taunton, Mass. She had two sisters Josephine (married a Costa) and Mary (married a Ponte) and lived in Rhode Island. I see you have been searching a long time. I'm new at it but am willing to share information with you to see if we are related. Thank you. CManish

Surnames: Rodrigues/Picadura
My name is Leilani Rodrigues Meneses. I am the daughter of William Rodrigues who is the son of Manuel Jacinto Rodrigues and Nellie Clark. My dad was baptized in 1903 at the Church of Our Lady of Peace and his sponsors were Manuel Costa Picadura and August Costa Picadura who I believe was my grandfather's Manuel's sister. However the research that my friend helped me with shows Manuels' parents as Joao Jacinto Rodrigues and his wife Rosa Da Conceicao Salgado which is different from what the message states. I have two brothers and we haven't met anyone from the Rodrigues side of the family except a half-brother, John Ah Lan several years back. If there is anyone that can share some information about my grandfather Manuel and his siblings it would be greatly appreciated.
