Message Board Post:

I have searched the town records of Harwich,MA, a town on Cape Cod, and have aquired a list of almost 3,000 Cape Verdeans. If you believe any of your relatives have moved down this way I might be able to help. I can release information only on those that are no longer living, but can lead in the right direction to find out more. By giving out information, I am hoping someone might know some of my relatives as well. I am currently searching for the name Raneo. We have reason to believe that it was spelled much differently on the Island (Fogo) but we are not sure. The three Raneo brothers Antonio, Frank, and Manuel came to the US possibly in the late 1800s early 1900s and have created a huge family since then. I am a descendant of Frank(1892-15 Oct 1932) and have almost finished tracing this branch of the family and hope to now move in the other direction and learn more about my past in Fogo.
