Hi Ronnie, When she file for a S.S.# back in 1938 she had been married and
divorced to my Grandfather who was a naturalized citizen. So I don't know if
back then you married someone who was a citizen you became one too?
I don't think they verified the information on the form. It says on the form
subject to later verification. She was way older then she said she was on the
form. She put her birth date as 5/31/1900 but she was actually born in 1890 or
1894.
She filed for a S.S.# because to work you had to have one and she was a live in
Housekeeper/Cook/Babysitter in her later years of life. I am confused by the
fact that they said they were born in the U.S. but on the census records it
says they were Aliens born in Portugal.
About 15 yrs ago I went to the area where she said they rented a farm in Oso
Flaco, Ca. but Oso Flaco is just a road they lived on I don't think it was a
actual town. The towns were Guadalupe, Nipomo, Santa Maria and they were in San
Luis Obispo County. I went to San Luis Obispo to the County office to see the
maps of the area where she said they lived. My daughter and I drove out to the
road and talked to some of the people in the area. Never did find out anything
about them except that the store she says they went to was still there in
Guadalupe.
You would think that they would have taken the step fathers name of Sousa
unless they were told they could not.
Were your ggrandparents born in Portugal or the U.S.? Sounds like your
ggrandmother had her hands full after your ggrandfather passed away.
Thank you very much for the offer of help. That is very nice of you. Have you
been able to find all your relatives on your family?
I live in Poway, Ca. in the County of San Diego.
Thank you again, Vivian (Silva) Christy
