Hi Vivian,
 
Try getting the probates for these people.  Maybe there birth names will be in the probates. 
The probate might be a big wealth of information. 
 
I found in my Portuguese Great Grandmothers probate one of the last names that they went by FRANCISCO that I didn't know about until I ordered a copy of her probate.  It also listed her children and there relation to there brothers and sisters as 1/2 brothers and 1/2 sisters which verified what I thought in the 1st place that my Great Grandmother was married 1 time before she married my Great Grandfather.

Hi E,  I know that is because my grand mother wrote a small bio and in that she said what happened when they first arrived in Boston, Mass when she was about 7 yrs old.  She said her father came here a year before they did and had rented a farm in Oso Flaco, San Luis Obispo County.  They stayed in Boston at a Hotel until they recieved money to take the train from Boston to Guadalupe, Calif.  She did not say the year.  I have searched for them in the census but was not able to find them until 1930 but only found the parents not the children.  Could not find them all together as a family in the 1900's.  I know they moved around from her bio.  They had a prominent relative Isable Lewis a cousin that lived in San Jose and they stayed there awhile.  Thank you for your help and the census and WWI records.  May be we can figure out why they say the father is Frank Holmes and that they were all born in the U.S.  My grandmother lied about her age.  She also lied on her S.S. record and said she was born in 1900 which is wrong.  She put her mothers name on that record as Elizbeth King.  That is also not true. I did find the Obits for Primo Souza in 1930 he died and also Isabel Sousa in 1936.  That did not help as far as why the children list the father as Frank Holmes?
 
Thanks for your help and for everyones help.
Vivian

Vivian,
 
I sent the WWI WWII Draft records to your email address.  Here are the census records I have found, I am also sending to list so others on list do not have to duplicate research.
 
1920 US census
Along Sierra Road, Oakdale, Stanislaus County, CA
Frank Holmes 38, b. CA, parents b. Portugal, Dairyfarmer
wife Kate 32 b. CA parents b. Ireland
ch:  Franklin 8 b. CA
Perl? I.  9/12 b. CA
 
1930 US Census
Sierra Road, Oakdale, Stanislaus County, CA
Frank P. Holmes 47, married 23 years, b. CA parents b. Portugal
son Franklyn(sp) 17, CA
Elizabeth 11 CA
 
I notice you have a family tree on Ancestry which says Frank was b. in Sao Jorge.  Interesting the WWI Draft Registration says he was born in San Luis Obispo????
