David: Did you go to the ARCHIVES while you was in Sacramento?
That is where I found my husband's ancestors marriage info.
The archives is about 2 blocks from the state library.

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Trying to find info on Mary Vieira
(Vierra) - Oakland, California
Eric,
I went to the Alameda County Recorder's office and was able to get
death records for several of the children of Frank and Mary Vieira.
They confirmed that Mary's maiden name was Faustina (Foster). Also, I
looked through the marriage index microfilm and found another marriage
record I was looking for, which was good. As for the marriage record
between Frank Vieira and Mary Faustina, I am not sure where to go from
here. I did find their son Frank Jr's WWII registration which stated
he was born in Fairfield on Feb 22 1885. That means it is possible
Frank and Mary were married somewhere in Solano County. So I suppose
that would be the best angle to pursue at the moment. Any other
suggestions would be helpful.
Also, do you know if it is possible to write to the records office on
Terceira and request the passport records from Angra do Heroismo for
certain individuals such as Mary Faustina and her brother Jose
Faustino (Joseph Foster) ?
Thanks,
David

David,
When you go in, the information desk is the first stop, They willl
give you a form for the record desired and a number to wait for a
clerk, Since you already have the marriage date, put that information
on the order sheet. You'll need a order sheet for each record you
want.
You can ask the clerk for the microfilm of the records to
research,they hold your drivers licence, then you take it to another
room to use the viewer.
Happy hunting.
If you are already in that neighborhood, the Oakland Library on 12th
st has a Newspaper room on the top floor with all of the Oakland
newspapers on microfilm. I've found that the Portuguese families were
more likely to put the Obit in the Post Esquire than the Tribune from
the 20s to the 50s
