Hi, I haven't done any research beyond my dad's family who came from Capelo, Fayal, Azores thru RI and then on to California. My aunt Constance (Constancia (dad's younger sister) married Frank (Francisco Brum) upon leaving the Azores approx 1924 and then on to California same year bringing an infant son, Frank. They resided in Ripon/Escalon, CA and had 2 more sons, Joseph and George. Francisco and Constancia, as I understand it, were first cousins. My paternal grandmother was Maria de Coracao de Jesus Brum. My dad's father was Jose Correia da Rosa Silveira. Dad had 11 brothers and sisters. Half the brothers had the last name of da Silva, Silva, Silvia and the other half were Rose. Very complicated when you had two full brothers living in the same town explaining they were not half brothers. I guess this was very common. I read all of your e-mails and am envious as to how far back you've all gone. I keep hoping I'll see some connection to my family. Needless to say I need to work much harder.

"E" I found the manifest you are mentioning. 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" **************A bad credit score is 600 & below. Checking won't affect your score. See now!
