Hi Larry,
I am a descendant of of Fransisco Do Vital, Manuel Do Vital's father. My maternal grandfather, Antonio Do Vital was Manual Do Vital's brother. I remember my mother referring to Manuel as Uncle Manay? Does that sound familiar to you?

Anyway, I found this thread today through a Google search for my maternal grandmother Jenny Pelligrini Vital. I don't know what possessed me to Google her, but I was astounded to find the ancestry on her husband, my grandfather Antonio's (Tony) side. We always knew he was Portuguese, but had no idea that he was born in the Azores, or that his parents Fransisco and Maria lived for a time in Hawaii.

My mother Betty was the only child of Tony and Jenny Vital. She was born in Alameda, CA in 1924, and was raised in Oakland. She married my father Joe Jakubasz (later changed to Jacobs) after they met while he was stationed in California in the service. They later moved to Yorkville,OH, where my father Joe was raised, where they in turn raised their family of four children...my sister Kathi, who was born in 1946, and who now lives in Bluffton, SC; me, Jodine, who was born in 1957, and lives in Kalamazoo, MI; my brother Anthony (named for Antonio Do Vital), who was born in 1960, and lives in Columbus, OH; and my brother Joe, born in 1964, and who lives in Martins Ferry, OH.

I would love to hear from you and learn about your branch of the family.


Jodine
