My maternal ggrandfather was Augustus Garcia Monteiro. AG Monteiro
was born on Faial (though I don't know the town) on March 3, 1867; he
became a naturalized citizen on February 17, 1902 (Certificate No.
401-191, USCC Boston Mass). According to the 1930 Census for San
Leandro, Alameda County, California, he immigrated in 1885. His wife
was Olivia Perry (is that a shortened form of Pereira?); she was born
c. 1864 on Faial and immigrated in 1883 (according to the 1910
Census) or 1879 (according to the 1930 Census). They had two
children, Olivia, born c. 1893-4, and Augustus Perry (my maternal
grandfather), born June 20, 1895, both in Massachusetts (Boston
area). AP Monteiro died March 27, 1957, in Santa Clara, California.
I found several newspaper articles in the Oakland Tribune about my
ggrandfather's activities with the UPEC (what is the full name?). He
was in two one-act comedies during the UPEC's celebration of the 3rd
anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Portugal in 1913.
There are many other people listed in the article dated October 6, 1913.
Evidently someone has put up a lot of information on Ancestry.com
(which is where I found most of the details). Does anyone on this
list recognize any of these names?
