Purpose of this Blog


This blog contains photos of Cape Verdeans who lived in New Bedford, Massachusetts from (approximately) 1920 to the present.

new note:

I have been away from this blog for almost three years.  During that time I have learned how to read church records that were written in Portuguese.  I now have a compilation of about 3000 pages which centers on folks from Sao Nicolau who immigrated to New Bedford.  Church records can be found at Family Search (Mormon site).  Look for Catholic Church Records - Cape Verde Islands. 

I have decided to highlight certain folks or incidences from the islands or things related to the voyage from the islands here.  Also, information about New Bedford CV core Snook families:  Soares/Tolentino, dos Santos, Varella, de Almeida, Encarnacao, da Cruz, Josefa (from Santo Antao).

In addition, I will continue to add photos of CV's in New Bedford. 
And even some little blurbs about how it was growing up in the CV community.
