American-Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Society, Inc., Records, 1981-1999 University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Archives and Special Collections Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese-American Archives American-Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Society, Inc., records, 1981-1999 MC 83/PAA Extent: 21 linear feet (10 manuscript boxes, 97 card file boxes, 4 oversized boxes and 5 microfilm boxes) Historical note: The idea for a genealogical society specializing in researching family and vital records pertinent to Portuguese Americans began in 1977 when several individuals doing the same research met informally to discuss the idea. The five founders, Pat Amaral, Anthony Catojo, Jr., Estella Margarido, Henrietta Mayer and Cecelia Rose began their efforts by reviewing entries in the 1860 census. The group was formally incorporated in 1981. To standardize the information they were collecting, they asked Bruce Barnes, a librarian at UMD (then SMU) to create cataloguing guidelines. The members eventually compiled information on individuals and family names on over 65,000 index cards. The Taunton Public Library served as home to the card file collection, books and vertical file until 2009, when it was transferred to the FMPAA at UMass Dartmouth. The society published a quarterly newsletter, The Bulletin Board, starting in 1981. Scope and contents note: Collection includes selected meeting minutes, correspondence, a set of newsletters, newsletters of other Portuguese genealogical societies, a name card file, microfilm of card file, and vertical file papers. Card files consist of the name file created by members of the APGHS, as well as the research of Anthony S. Catojo, Jr., referred to as his “lifetime collection.” Monographs and serials are catalogued in the library, both in general collections and special collections. Special collections books are housed together in the archives reading room. Organization: The collection is divided into 5 series: Series I, Administrative files; Series II, Subject files; Series III, Anthony Catojo Lifetime Collection; Series IV, Oversized genealogies; Series V: Surname card index file; Series VI: Microfilm of card index files. Acquisition: initial items donated by Frances Sylvia Gracia February 2007, Accession # 07-13. Entire library, card file and vertical file donated by the APGHS through Ernest Cardoza, president, in December of 2008, Accession # 09-10.

  • Portuguese Americans' Acculturation
    PORTUGUESE AMERICANS’ ACCULTURATION, SOCIOECONOMIC INTEGRATION, AND AMALGAMATION How far have they advanced? Dulce Maria Scott Introduction Utilizing data from Censuses 1980, 1990, and 2000, the 2005 and 2006 American Community Surveys, and the 2006 Yearbook of Immigration Statistics, this paper analyzes the acculturation, socioeconomic integration, and amalgamation trends of Portuguese immigrants and their descendents in the United States. In order to draw more informed conclusions about the Portuguese experience along these three dimensions of assimilation, I compare it to those of other immigrant groups in the United States, including the Irish, the Italian, the Greek, and the Brazilians. I selected these groups based on the time when they first began to arrive in the Uni- ted States — the Irish first, followed by the Italians, the Portuguese and the Greeks, and later the Brazilians. The United States gained its independence in 1776, but it was not until the 1820s that immigration from Europe began to occur in large numbers. Until about the middle of the 19th century, immigrants originated primarily in Germany and Ireland. In the second half of the 19th century the source of immigration changed from northern Europe to Southern and Eastern Europe. The largest immigrant group arriving at this time was from Italy.This pattern of immigration from Europe continued until the 1920s, when immigration restrictions were put in place with the National Origins Act. Under this law, immigration to the United States was gre- atly reduced until the Immigration Act of 1965, which opened immigration to all countries in the world and established a system of preferences based on family reu- nification and the labor needs of the United States, among other factors.

    The Changing Face of the Empire State: Latinos, Portuguese and Brazilians in Upstate New York Part of an ongoing series of briefs prepared by the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force Hon. Sheldon Silver, Speaker Hon. Peter M. Rivera, Chair Prepared by Michael Fondacaro Edited by Guillermo A. Martinez April 2006 Preface Today, the headlines that once declared our rise to being the largest ethnic minority in the nation have been replaced with headlines proclaiming that the “Sleeping Giant” has awoken. Reactionary immigration policies have prompted diligent action from our communities that have in turn placed millions of people in protest marches across the nation. A new civil rights movement has been born. The work of the New York State Assembly Puerto Rican/Hispanic Task Force is fueled by such passionate demands for justice and fairness. It is clearly obvious that no wall, no army, no policy will reverse the critical mass that has already been reached with the present growth of the Latino community throughout this nation. Every 2.5 seconds, there is another Latino in the United States; this mostly through births from the children of first generation immigrants. We indeed are the future of this nation. Inclusive, practical and fair policies that embrace our growing communities will lay the groundwork for a prosperous America. Nothing short of this will suffice. This reality should be embraced by policy makers and elected officials across New York State because the growth mentioned above is dynamic especially here in our State. This publication, The Changing Face of the Empire State: Latinos, Portuguese and Brazilians in Upstate New York, clearly outlines the demographic changes impacting New York and briefly highlights some issues that need more government attention, especially if Upstate economies are to grow.

The latter groups are usually treated (albeit artifically at times!) as isolated units with homogeneous cultures.

I also want to thank Professor Zeena Zakharia and Ameena Ghaffar-Kuffer for inspiring new perspectives in my research. I am very grateful to the teachers, students and parents’ students that have willingly participated in my ethnographic research. They have opened their school, lives and hearts to me and for that I am truly grateful to all of them. I want to express my deep gratitude to the Fulbright program and to the government of my home country, Andorra, for their commitment to education and for providing me with such a fantastic opportunity to develop my academic career, namely this research, in the United States. Especially, I want to thank Jordi Llombart for his support.
