Carmen, My Great Great Grandfather was Joseph (I'm assuming Jose) Sylveira Brown, born October 1860 somewhere in the Azores. I don't know which island, and I've not seen anything but the anglocized version of his name. He married my GG Grandmother, Serafina Thomas (b-31 Jan 1867 Corvo, d-18 November 1935 New Bedford) and they lived in New Bedford.
I'm assuming his last name has to be Brum, but I'm kind of stumped on where exactly he was at before he showed up in New Bedford. Censuses list his immigration year around 1878, but I've never seen a manifest with him on it.

I found John (Joao) living in Plymouth, Massachusetts on the 1900 and 1910 censuses. I find his two youngest children living with Joseph S. Luis and Mary Luis in Hanford, Kings, California on the 1920 census. I think Mary is John's sister. I found that John's wife Priscilla died in childbirth on June 27, 1913 in Plymouth, Massachusetts. I can not understand why the manifest would have California and not Massachusetts on it. It looks as if he went to get Maria Pinheiro to bring her to California. Evidently he does have a California connection. Just found a Joao S Brown arriving in Boston on April 25, 1890 on the Sarah going to California. Do you think these two Joao's are one and the same? Anybody have any Brum ancestors? Thankjs.

Brum 41, under Nationality, it says U. S. A., sailing on the S. S. Cretic from Sao Miguel March 25, 1913, last permanent residence Pedro Miguel, Faial, , going to San Jose CA. It says his Certificate was taken in Monterey County, CA. What is strange it says he was born in Sao Miguel, but where it lists city or town, there is just a line there. The person next to him on the list is a Maria Pinheiro leaving her aunt Francisca Delfina,Pedro Miguel was bon in Pedro Miguel?? It think he went back and forth more than once. Will keep looking if you think this is him. "E" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
