Gordon, We may be related through the Silveira Soares line. My ggg granfather was Jose Silveira Soares b. ? in Lajes, Pico. He died in 1895, and his widow Isabel Josefa Soares came to Sebastapol to join her daughters. Because of the information at the Uminho site , I haven't looked at the films for the area, but now I think I will.
