Was interested to note that Manuel DaMatta, Luisa, and Maria as an infant was on the Milly and Rachel with 97 others, which you indicate included your gg grandparents, on 18 May 1853, and they settled in Jacksonville, Illinois.

Joaquin de Sousa migrated on Schooner Maria and Emma, with 53 others from Maderia on 16 August 1869 and settled in Jacksonville, Illinois, and later married Maria DaMatta.

Will attempt to send line printout of Family Tree Maker program of decendants of Joseph DE SOUSA with this and a second message of Manuel MARQUES descendants as don't think this will take both and do not know how to attach anything.

Would like for anyone observing an individual on which they have or desire information to contact us and while we do not have much information will be glad to share what we have and certainly be glad to get additional information.
