[Paul Bunnell writes: I think I do have a major problem with the Joseph's. I just found the death record of Joseph G. Paceco Jr. dated 10 Feb. 1950 by hanging. He was age 56 (b.c. 1894) It says he was the husband of Mary Motta, and the son of Joseph G. Sr. & Mary....., both of St. Michael, Azores. This would make him your Joe, son of Joe from the 1900 Cottage City census you sent me..........BUT! June Manning's work shows a Joseph Pachico, b. 2 Dec. 1893 at Cottage City who is the son of Manual Pachico and Louise Delphina Texeira. This Joe she shows dying 10 Feb. 1950 at same place? This same Joe she has as the husband of Ellan Elizabeth Donnelly. This record is scrambled. I have copies of the death records of Joe, d. 10 Feb. 1950, Elizabeth (Donnelly) Pachico, d. 1 May 1974 and Madeline (Pachico) Montesion, d. 5 Oct. 1979 which by the way says she is the daughter of Joe G. Pachico and Elizabeth Donnelly.]
