I'm posting this information on behalf of a young woman who has started out on her family search.
MOTHER'S INFO: (my great grandfather:) JOSEPH OLLIVIERRE born somewhere in Portugal in 18?? and emigrated to St. Vincent where he died, unknown date. He married ANTONIA FERREIRA (Birth paper says Furara but we think it's Ferreira spelt incorrectly) ... same info for birth and death. (grandmother) BALVINA OLLIVIERRE born: May 11, 1881 in Freeland, St. Vincent died: unknown in Trinidad, she married NORMAN GLENROY DA COSTA. their daughter (my mother) LUCIANA DA COSTA, she was born in 1911 in St. Vincent, and still lives... she emigrated to Trinidad and currently Canada. She married NICHOLAS DA SILVA
FATHER'S INFO: Descendants of Emmanuel Da Silva
EMMANUEL DA SILVA born somewhere in Portugal in 18?? and emigrated to St. Vincent where he died, unknown date. He married MARY DA SILVA ... same info for birth and death. Son (my father) NICHOLAS DA SILVA, b. March 04, 1905, Spring Mountain, St. Vincent, WI; d. November 09, 1993, Ajax Pickering Hospital, Ajax, Ontario. He married LUCIANA DA COSTA, b. October 15, 1911, Mt. Pleasant Mountain, St. Vincent, WI.
We've been told that they originated in Madeira, Portugal, but not sure if that's true. If I could find out how to access records for St. Vincent that would probably help.
Thanks,
Cheryl
Do you know if Emmanuel had any siblings called Antonio or Anthony?I too have that book, and had been researching my multi-pluralistic paternal bloodlines. I have been all over the world researching for the last 4 decades! Kerwin Elias Teixeira Gomes de Freitas Rodgers.
