                  <text>&lt;p&gt;This collection includes letters and other related items surrounding the life and history of Bishop Henrique José Reed da Silva (1854-1930), the titular Bishop of Trajanopolis and Bishop Emeritus of São Tomé de Meliapor who was also a pastor for Saint Anthony's Church in Lowell for 13 years (1911-1924). These documents and records were scanned and donated by the Arquivo Histórico do Patriarcado de Lisboa (AHPL), where the physical collection remains. These records cover an international purview of Portuguese and Portuguese American history through the lens of Bishop da Silva's life and travels. Here, you will find papers created by or about Bishop da Silva, as well as a group of letters sent to Bishop da Silva over the course of his life from family members, political figures and leaders, titled officials of the Catholic Church, and other members of the Catholic Church and Portuguese communities all over the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bibliographical Note&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Biography written and provided by the Arquivo Histórico do Patriarcado de Lisboa. Translation and small edits made by the PADA archivist. Additions in brackets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bishop Henrique José Reed da Silva was born in Lisbon to Sebastião José da Silva and Elisa Maria Reed da Silva on January 19th, 1854. He was baptized on February 5th, 1854 in Lisbon's Santa Isabel parish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He attended the College of Overseas Missions in Cernache do Bonjardim. Destined for an ecclesiastical life, Bishop da Silva was ordained and, after taking the Order of the Presbyte in 1879, he left for Luanda the following year to become the secretary for the Bishop of Angola and Congo, Dom José Sebastião Neto. In this bishopric, he served as the parson of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição Parish, as a chaplain for a hospital, and as a professor of humanities for the seminary. In 1881, he assumed the position of general vicar and, in 1882, he took charge of the diocesan government for a period. He also became the precentor of the See, and in 1883, attained the position of Vicar Capitular.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Named the prelate of Mozambique on March 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; 1884, Bishop da Silva would eventually be elevated to the Titular Bishop of Philadelphia [of Arabia] in the consistory on the 27&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of that same month. The episcopal congregation took place in the Church of Santa Catarina in Lisbon [also referred to as the Church of the Convent of Paulistas] on May 4&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; at the hand of the Bishop of Portalegre, Dom José Maria da Silva Ferrão de Carvalho Martens. This title was made effective upon Bishop da Silva's formal entrance into Mozambique on January 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; of 1885. He was placed in charge of the government of the province and, in October, he organized the activity for the pastoral visit—having, at that time, toured Kenya and the archipelago of Tanzania.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the apostolic brief from December 1&lt;sup&gt;st&lt;/sup&gt; of that year, Bishop da Silva was dismissed from the prefecture of Mozambique and named the coadjutor of the Archbishop of Goa, primate of the East.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On November 25&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of 1886, Bishop da Silva was named the Bishop of São Tomé de Meliapor [Mylapore] in India, and he was preconized by the Pope on March 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of that following year. During his decade-long episcopate, he created two newspapers, established a diocese seminary, maintained a high school in Calcutta with a boarding school for girls and another that provided entry to the university, established orphanages and nursing homes for the elderly, founded a pharmaceutical laboratory that provided treatment to those in need, and ordered the construction of a neo-Gothic cathedral.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bishop da Silva turned in the miter of Mylapore in 1897 and, subsequently, the Holy See granted Bishop da Silva the title of Bishop of Trajanopolis in Phrygia in 1898. From 1907 to 1909, Bishop da Silva traveled to California, exercising his ministry among Portuguese communities. He visited Hawaii in 1908 and in 1910, continued [his travels] on to Mexico. However, it was in the year 1911 that he settled in Lowell, Massachusetts, within the archdiocese of Boston, to administer the Saint Anthony Church of the Portuguese, remaining there until 1924.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He returned to Portugal in 1925, after a stay in Canada and in New York where, for health reasons, he was hospitalized in Saint Vincent’s Hospital. Afterwards, he traveled to the Eternal City [Rome] and, five years later, on October 6&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; of 1930, Henrique José Reed da Silva—the titular Bishop of Trajanopolis and Bishop Emeritus of São Tomé de Meliapor—passed away in Lisbon, where his remains were laid to rest in the cemetery of Prazeres in a tomb gifted by the Third Order of Saint Francis.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

                  <text>&lt;span&gt;The Coutinho Family Collection consists of 38 items, mostly documents, that represent the life and immigration of Manuel Nunes Coutinho and his parents, Francisco and Emilia. Items include ship tickets, petitions for naturalization, and passports&lt;/span&gt;. Items include ship tickets, petitions for naturalization, and passports.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Biographical Sketch&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;Francisco Coutinho was a Portuguese immigrant who built a life for his family in the United States. He was born on June 6, 1874 on the island of São Vicente in Cabo Verde. Francisco's parents were João Coutinho and Brigida Coutinho. Although he was born on an island, he lived his later life on the mainland in Lisbon, Portugal. He decided to first visit the United States in June of 1898, when he was twenty-four years old. He arrived in Brooklyn, New York, where he stayed for a few years before moving to Massachusetts in January of 1900. He eventually settled in the North End of Boston, purchased a home and worked as a steamship technician and entrepreneur.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Francisco Coutinho became naturalized in 1908 and was able to make multiple trips back to Portugal to visit his family. It was on one of these excursions that he met his future wife, Emilia. Emilia Nunes Ferrão was born in Portugal on June 27, 1882 to Anselmo da Silva Ferrão and Maria Rita Nunes. She spent most of her early adult life working as a shop attendant at Grandes Armazens do Chiado in Lisbon.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Francisco and Emilia Coutinho married in 1908 and had one son, named Manuel Nunes Coutinho, born on June 6, 1913. The family immigrated to the United States and settled in East Boston at 5 Harve Street where Francisco had resided since 1910. In 1917, Francisco’s younger brother, also named Manuel Coutinho, immigrated to the United States. Manuel, who was born on December 24, 1883, first traveled through Buenos Aires before arriving in Brooklyn, New York. He went to stay with his brother in Boston before finding his own residence at 268 Commercial Street. He declared his intention to become an American citizen in 1919 while he worked as a lodging-house manager and fireman.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; In 1924, Francisco fell ill and knew he did not have much time left. He wanted to pass away in his homeland, so he traveled with his wife and son back to Portugal. After he died in Portugal, Emilia and Manuel traveled back to the United States. As per the culture at the time, Francisco’s brother, Manuel, decided to keep caring for his brother’s widow and married Emilia in July of 1925. Although Emilia and Manuel were married until the time of Manuel’s death, they had no children together.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Manuel Nunes Coutinho, the son of Emilia and Francisco, grew up to have a very successful and interesting life. In the 1930's, he performed in a Balanchine production of the Boston Ballet; in 1978, he had a part in "The Brink's Job" movie, filmed in Boston; and at the age of eighty-three, he ran as a torch-bearer in the 1996 Olympic Torch Relay for the Atlanta Games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Multilingual, Manuel was a lifelong learner with interests in government, history and world economics. Manuel was an athlete, a coach and sports enthusiast. He was an active member of Cottage Park Yacht Club and St. John the Evangelist Church.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; Manuel married Frances Cancian in 1942 and they had five children: Anne-Marie, Barbara, Cissy, John, and Paul, and later, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. A devoted husband of sixty years, he traveled worldwide with his family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the course of his eighty-nine years, Manuel aided over 3,500 Portuguese speakers gain US citizenship. He began this work while serving in the US Coast Guard in the Pacific during World War II. He continued supporting the community by teaching courses at North Shore Community College, Marion Court College and the Massachusetts Alliance of Portuguese Speakers (MAPS). He collaborated with MAPS to help immigrants across the state, most notably in Cambridge, prepare for their citizenship tests. He was even known to drive his students to these exams. His extraordinary work inspired the MAPS &lt;em&gt;Manuel Nunes Coutinho Outstanding Volunteer Award&lt;/em&gt;. He was the first recipient of this award in 1999. This award continues to be presented annually to local volunteers who have followed in his footsteps and dedicated their time to helping the Portuguese speaking community thrive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Manuel was recognized many times for his commitment and loyalty. Nominated for president George HW Bush's &lt;em&gt;10,000 Points of Light Award&lt;/em&gt;, Manuel also received military honors in World War II and later testified to a Congressional committee on the plight of immigrants in America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In addition to his devotion to the Portuguese-speaking community, Manuel's legacy is his family, which grew to pursue careers in science, medicine, education, engineering, business and finance.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Manuel Nunes Coutinho dedicated himself to empowering individuals to achieve the American dream--the dream of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.&lt;/p&gt;

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;

However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information.

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>

                  <text>The Lowell School Department work collection consists of original documents pertaining to age verification for many immigrant children in the Lowell, MA area. When children moved to the United States, they would need to prove their age to the Lowell School Department to determine whether they would attend school or begin to work (depending on their age). Most students used baptismal records from their church of birth in Portugal, although some used their passports as well.&#13;
&#13;
However, these items do not only verify the age of each child. These documents are treasure troves of additional information such as the name of their parents, their hometown and baptismal information. This collection is a look into the swell of Portuguese immigrants at the turn of the century,</text>
