I am looking for information on my Azores relatives. I was fortunate to know
my great grandparents, but unfortunately, no one wrote any information down
about their family in the Azores, island of Flores.
I would appreciate any assistance in finding out their parents and sibling
names.
Francisco J Jorge
Born: 07 Dec 1872 Fajan Grande, Flores, Azores, Portugal
Died: 12 Dec 1863 Merced, Merced, California, USA
Note: Worked as farm laborer, worked on making the roads to Yosemite, and was
entrusted to bringing any gold found onsite back down from the foothills.
Immigrated to California in 1889, worked these various odd jobs to purchase two
farms in Merced, CA. He was an alfalfa and sweet potatoe farmer.
Leopoldina Lucindo Freitas
Born: 16 May 1884 Fajan Grande, Flores, Azores, Portugal
Died: 19 Mar 1973 Merced, Merced, California, USA
Note: Leopoldina's father was Jose Lucindo de Freitas according to the NY
Passenger listing. I know that her mother died young, as she delayed her
immigration to the US to marry Francisco, taking on her mother's
responsibilities.
Thank you for your assistance!
