A Brief Note on My Methodology Thus Far

For my first few blog entries I have used a number of different books and websites as resources. I have used them to get some background information on Portuguese history, immigration, employment, and culture. Also, I have made one trip to Fall River to get a general feel for the city. While I was there I got names of some local Portuguese churches, clubs, and business establishments while also seeing where many Portuguese live. Some these names as well as the descriptions of the city in my first few entries come from my first trip to Fall River.
