Vivian For the timeframe you have the births, I think they would be at the Mission in SLO. The Mission have been microfilmed but the Baptisms only go to 1869! Darn. The marriage records to to 1906 and can be ordered from Salt Lake City. Otherwise, you'll have to get into contact with the Mission at SLO and see if they will search for you. Hopefullly this will help you.

Isabella Leal Silveira b. July 24, 1854 Sao Jorge, d. Nov 17, 1936 in Hanford, Ca. immigrated abt 1892. Was at Oso Flaco, Guadalupe, County of San Luis Obispo on a rented farm until they went bankrupt. Then they moved to Santa Clara County, San Jose, Oakland area. After that they moved to Hanford, King County I have them in the 1920 & 1930 census. That is where her and her husband Primo Souza died. Not even the probate records for their property had any information I could use. Either did the obits on them. Primo Souza b. abt 1855 in Sao Jorge d. Dec 08, 1930 in Hanford, Ca. Manuel ? Stepson b. abt 1880 where unknown All her children except my Grandmother (Marie Holmes Joseph say they were born in San Luis Obispo. Frank Peter Holmes, b. Oct. 24, 1882 in San Luis Obispo d. Mar 15, 1950 in Oakdale, Ca. Joseph Holmes. b. abt 1884 d. 1911 in Bakersfield, Ca John Joseph Holmes b. Oct. 24, 1887 in San Luis Obispo d. Aug 23, 1932 in Oakland, Ca. Marie Gertrude Holmes b. May 31, 1894 or 1890 in San Luis Obispo, Ca. d. Aug 23, 1977 in San Diego, Ca. (she put in a little bio she was born on Sao Jorge but on her Social Security record it say San Luis Obispo, Ca) The children all listed their Father as Frank Holmes but I can find no record of him that I can for sure say he was an actual person and not just a name used instead of Primo Souza. I am not sure if Primo Souza and Frank Holmes are not the same person. I can not find any birth records for any of the children. I have also checked the records they have so far on Sao Jorge without finding any of them born there. So how can you find birth records for people who say they were born in San Luis Obispo but where ever I check there are none. I have copies of their death certs, census records from 1910, 1920, 1930 and WWar records. They must have just appeared on the planet. If you know of anywhere I could write or call to find birth records for them I would appreciate the help. I live in San Diego. Thank you for any help, Vivian (Silva) Christy --- On Fri, 4/3/09, Ronnie French <[email protected]> wrote: From: Ronnie French <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Fw: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DeMello book To: [email protected] Date: Friday, April 3, 2009, 11:46 PM Vivian: We live in San Luis Obispo, if there's any help we can provide, let us know. What were your ancestors names when they lived here and during what years?
