My grandfather Arthur Furtado PIMENTEL landed in New Bedford, MA about 1900, he was from Sao Miguel, Azores. At age twelve he was head of family with two sisters and a brother John. His father was a constable in the old country and had died. Because he could read and write fluent Portuguese his first job in America was with the court system in New Bedford translating documents of emigrants that came after him. He was studying Law when at age 26 he had a nervous breakdown and gave up his studies.

He then entered Real Estate and became a charter member of the Fall River Board of Realtors. He was successful in both Real Estate and Insurance in Fall River.

My grandfather died in 1964 at the age of 76.

I would very much like to visit my grandfather's birth place and possibly meet some of his relatives. r.skelly@mchsi.com (19 Jun 2008)

Searching for family line of: Antonio (da) COSTA, born aprx. 1850 ish in Riberinha, Sao Miguel, Azores.
Wife: Margarida PAULINO, born aprx. 1850 ish, probably in Riberinha also. One of their children, my great grandfather, Marion (Marianno) COSTA, born 1870 ish in Riberinha, immigrated to Hawaii (Hilo) between 1874-1882 to work the sugar. Marion COSTA married Mary Maria SANTOS about 1890 in Hawaii. They had most of their 15 children in Hawaii. They immigrated to California between 1906-1908 to join other family members in Oakland. The name PIMENTEL is also linked to this family, by marriage I think.
My G. grandfather, Marion, was said to be a very secretive person, and it was said that he burned his "papers" after he got to CA. So, some of the information might be a little off, but if generally this rings a bell with anyone, please e-mail me. linpierce7@aol.com Thanks (27 Mar 2008)
