Mr da Costa reached his 50th birthday last May. He leaves behind him a widowed mother, four sons and one daughter, and two nieces and three nephews, all of whom were dependent upon him for support."

Hello,
Since my family is of Macanese descent, I'm heading to the Encontro in Macau in a couple of weeks. It's held every 3 years to help preserve Macanese hertitage. I was just curious to know if anyone here is also attending. I think they get about 1,000 attendees from all over the world, on average.
Thanks,
Allison
David has suggested I start a separate Forum thread, instead of tacking my question about divorce cases in post-invasion Macau http://gwulo.com/comment/33461 on to the end of McCaskie’s June 1942 report of conditions in wartime Macau. Although my question concerns a member of my Hong Kong family, I meant to ask a more general question about the possible transference of Hong Kong law suits to Macau after the Japanese invasion.
