Hi - I am trying to get information on the Caldera (probably Caldeira in Portugal) side.? I think I have some of the connections now, but woud love to verify this with Babe's daugther.
Manuel D Caldera (1840) & Mary _____ Caldera (b 1850) - immigrated from Portugal and settled in Tres Pinos area It appears they had 3 to 5 children (from looking at various census records) Manuel J, b 1870 (this is Babe's father, I think) Mary, b 1874 Francis, b1877 Although there is a 9 year gap, but the following two look to be their children as well: Rose b 1888 Joseph, b 1884 Manuel J?married Isabelle and they had 3 children:? William, Hazel and Isabelle (Babe) If I am correct (and again, this is only from looking at several census records and trying to put the puzzle together...) Manuel D Caldera was the brother of my great-grandmother, Innocencia (Emma) Caldera Nunes.? This seems to make sense because my Dad and Babe were 2nd, not 1st cousins. I know that Innocencia immigrated from Faial.? So now I am trying to find Her parents & siblings. Would like to verify if Manuel D (listed above) is her brother and find out when they immigrated, port of entry, etc. Well, thanks for your help.? Maybe Babe's daughter can help put the puzzle together. I'm in Texas now, so I don't get back to CA very often to do research.? Take care!?

When I was doing research in Hollister many years ago, I actually stumbled across the box down in the basement, then up a spiral stair case.? They didn't know the box existed.? Are you seeking more information on the Caldera side or the Nunes side of the family?? If it's on the Caldera side, let me know.? I have Babe's daughter's name and information to contact her. ?
