Correction: Manuel Estrella III fire chief not Manuel Cardoza III.

Ida Gonsalves Soares had a sister named Carmen who married Louis Goodwin. They lived in Oak Bluffs and had the following children:

Beverly Goodwin Corwin
Louis Jr.(called Jim)
Ida Goodwin Gardner called "Buzzy"(named for her aunt Ida Soares)
Frank Goodwin.

Ida,(Buzzy) and Frank have both passed on.
Louis (Jim) lives in Edgartown on Island
and Beverly lives on the Cape, I am not sure which town.

Their is a two volume book called Our Portuguese Heritage. It is a genealogy of Martha's Vineyard Portuguese families.It was published on the Island in 1996. Only 300 copies were published. However, you should be able to locate it at your library and get a "loaner" library copy. It has LOTS of your family genealogy in it!

I am not familiar with a Cardoza being the fire chief in Tisbury, The current chief is John F. Schilling.


Where are you located?

Yes, I should have picked up on that. Manny III is actually the fire chief of West Tisbury, not Tisbury.....two different towns.

Manny is married to my cousin, Sharon Alley. Her mother was an Amaral and my Grandmother's niece.

I do have the two volumes in front of me. We live in Duxbury MA. We were able to get it as a loaner from the library.

So is that Manuel Cardoza III related to Cardoza/Estrella on C136 in Our Portuguese Heritage

Sorry again...Estrella,Manuel III on E252?

I answered my own question. Thank you so much for your help. I am hoping to contact him so that he may be able to provide more information regarding Margaret Estrella(my great grandmother).

Hi Pink! I was wondering if you could ask around and see if there is anybody there who knows more about our family story! Thanks so much for all your help thus far!
