GOMES in RI
Would appreciate any info on my grandfathers family. My great grandparents were both born in Portugal. His name was Mariano GOMES (d-1939), my great grandmother was Marianna FERREICA or FERREIRA (6/30/1884 - 9/7/70). They lived in East Providence, RI and had 7 children: Manuel, John, Carlos (my grandfather), Joseph, Mary and Benjamin. They also had one other son, who died as a child when he fell through the ice, but I have no name for him.
Not sure what year they came to the states, but all 7 children were born in RI.
Thanks in advance for any bit of info you may have.
