Adopted by Manuel Correia
My Name is John Louis Correia.I was adopted by Manual Correia when he married my mother in 1944 and so while I am not Portugese by birth I am by adoption since he gave me his last name.My Father was from New Bedford, Mass and left there is 1929 to join the US Navy.I have many Portugese relatives in and around New Bedford and also some in California. My Father passed away in the "80's and sorry to say that I have not been in contact with any of these relatives since then.I don't know much about my family history except that my dad's mother was born in the Azores and his father was a fisherman with his ouw fishing boat in Providencetown,Mass.I would like any information regarding anyone who thinks he or she may be related to my father (and by extension to me) and any information regarding my grand parents.
