Looking for g'gparents names were changed to Jones and Jackson.

Jacinto/Tavares/Mendes/Cabral line
From Azores to S'Vicent and then U.S. & Nova Scotia

Jacksons lived in Nova Scotia, Billerica, Pawtucket, Malden (Eastern Ave) & Chelsea

Jones lived in Wareham, Fall River, New Bedford, Malden, and Roxbury.

g'gparents: J. Howard Jackson/Emma Sheperd (both born in Nova Scotia)
My g'mom: b. 1911 - Mary E. Jackson (born in Billerica on Farmers Lane)
She also lived in New Britain Ct. was first married to 'Woodson', (he was Capeverdean and in the Navy) she also lived in Pawtucket, Falmouth, Marha's Vineyard
Siblings: John, Ethel, Charles, William, Ruth

I think the family was migratory, following the fishing/farming trails along the new England coast

Gomes/Martins line (some Martins are in Chelsea)
From Fogo/Brava or Sta. Catarina

g;grandparents:
Ernest Jones 'Pa' /*Annie Hudson (both born in VA)
*She died young

My Grandfather: b. 1908 Ralph (had green eyes)
worked for the railroad (So. Station in Boston), grew up in New Bedford, Wareham, Fall River, Malden (Seaview Ave) - he used to speak of 'Nunes' in Fall River that I believe were family or close friends
Siblings: Lillian * she also died as a young woman. She had children: Fred, Harriet & Evelyn

My Mom: b. 1928 Marion 'Sissy' (Green eyes/blond hair well into her 20's) ***She had a boyfrend 'Maceo' (He was in the Navy)
Her siblings: Ralph 'Brother' (he also lived in New Bedford and was a cook in Gloucester) & Newton 'Buddy' Woodson(he worked for the railroad, had been in the Navy)
They grew up in Fall River, Malden, Roxbury (Forest St), but spent a lot of time at 'Pa's big house in the Wareham area. My mom shared her memories of cranberry picking, sand dunes, riding bikes to the beach and her first job making toy dragons. I wish I asked more questions! Would appreciate hearing from anyone who might hold a clue.
