I am new to the group. I have researching my ancestry for about 6 weeks now and found out alot of information. However, on the Portuguese side of my family tree, I am at a standstill. What I know, My grandfather's name was Frank Manuel Rose Marshall born 7-25-1877 in the Azores. He died February 27, 1962 in San Jose, California. He imigrated to the US in 1900. He married Mary Frietas, born 3-25-1883 in the Azores. Mary had 10 children, 8 living children that were born in the US. They lived in New Bedford, Mass. from 1900-1910 and moved to Irvington, California, Alameda County. I beleive they were married before they came to the US, since Mary's name was Marshall on the Census of 1900. I did find a Naturalization Paper for Frank Joseph Marshall issued on 11-24-1898 in Fayal. He was accompanied by his son Manuel Marshall. The paper said that Frank was born in Pico 1-6-1843. He sailed on the St. George from Fayal 3-1880 and resided in Alameda County until 1887. The paper was signed Francisco Jose Marshall (prehaps) Machado. This could be my great grandfather. Can anyone in the group help me confirm the island my grandfather and grandmother came from? Also, can anyone confirm if Francisco Jose Marshall was Manuel's, father? In addition, who were my grandmothers parents?
