I have one photo of my great, great, great grandmother on my Mom's side. It was taken on either the island of Sao George in the Azores. I've always been so struck by the photo and what a classic Portuguese woman she is. I know the young boy on the left is my great, great uncle Jack, her grandson. I wish I knew who the other men were and what the occasion was. They are sure to all be relatives. But who???? My uncle Jack was born in the United States and this was one of their travels back to the islands. It's interesting since they weren't a wealthy family or even a middle class family to be travelling, at least a handful of times, back to the old country.
Maria Bettencourt>>Francisco Silveira Alvernaz>>Alice Alvernaz Silva Thurber (Uncle Jack's older sister)>>Gloria Silva DelaMere da Silva (my Mom's mom)
