I believe my grandfather was a Faustino. and when he immigrated to America in 1898 it was changed to Foster to Americanize it. He was born in Norte Pequeno, I think, to Anna Volera. Of course, there was a story to that. His mother was single, and became pregnant by a man that her family was hiding to avoid going into the army. I would like to trace his origin, as I have my grandmother, his wife, but unfortunately do not read Portuguese. He was born in March 1874. If anyone can assist me I would appreciate it.
