English and Portuguese roots. My English roots have been traced to England, then to the Dartmouth, MA area c. 1610s-1620s up until present day, through my paternal grandmother ("Smith"). I know that my Portuguese heritage can be traced to the Azores, specifically the island of São Miguel (or "Saint Michael") on both my mother's side ("Moniz"/"Meniz") and my paternal grandfather's side ("Sylvia"/"Silvia"), but I lack any conclusive evidence of this thus far. Names: Smith, Mosher, Potter, Tripp, Sylvia/Silvia, Moniz/Meniz.
