My family album ...

 
This is the story of my life as I remember it. This page will grow as time goes on, and, as I find appropriate pictures to illustrate my family.

My name is Stella Santos Pacheco Leite.
I was born in São Miguel, Açores, Portugal.
My parents are João Pacheco Leite e Laurentina Santos.
I have two sisters, Iolanda, the oldest, and Mary Alice, the youngest.
