Surprises

I always thought that my family had all been born in the Azores... my mother's side on the island of Faial and my father's side on the island of São Miguel.  My father's family seem to be from the same town, Rosário, Lagoa.  But his grandmother was born in the town of Peso da Régua in northern mainland Portugal.  My mother's father, as I came to discover, was born in Lisbon, Portugal and her maternal grandfather was born in the US (either New York or Boston).
