Newport Public Library

Join the Newport Public Library on Wednesday September 23rd at 6pm 
for this engaging author talk with Keith Tavares for his recently 
published book, "An Azorean Family's History," which is both story of 
genealogical research and the history of his Azorean roots both on the 
Island of Faial and then here in the U.S.
About the Author:
Keith Tavares began collecting names, dates, photos, and stories 
about his family when he was a boy, and as genealogical technology 
advanced, so did his research.&nbsp; The result of his research is his new 
book “An Azorean Family’s History : Our Faria and Moitoso Roots.”&nbsp; 
Tavares’ journey explored his ancestors, unearthing the rich history and
 legacy that has shaped his family. His research prompted him to travel 
abroad to mainland Portugal, the Island of Madeira, and the Azores, 
specifically the islands of Sao Miguel and Faial, and helped him 
understand why his ancestors left their homeland for new opportunities 
in the US.
A resident of Newport, Rhode Island, where he was born in the Naval 
Hospital, Keith is a graduate of Boston University, where he majored in 
political science and history. He has worked in higher education and the
 nonprofit sector for most of 30 years, having served as Vice President 
of Institutional Advancement for the large social service agency Child 
and Family in Newport and Middletown, RI. He currently serves as 
Director of Capacity Building for the Rhode Island Foundation in 
Providence, RI, supporting nonprofit organizations throughout the state.
Copies of "An Azorean Family's History" will be available for purchase and signing.&nbsp; 
Registration Required.
