Thank you Cheri,
I guess my main purpose would be to see how Manuel and his wife
connect to the other Borba's in California. I think there is a
brother of Manuels(Antone) in Northern California.
I am wondering who he/they came over with which would clarify the link.

Adair,
You may not get back to Portugal. There are times we run into the
"pai incognito" and cannot research back any further. There are
times when the records run out and that ancestor is what is called
the "end of line" ancestor. Sometimes the records are so badly
damaged we can't read them.
Out of all my lines, I've only been lucky enough to trace 2 of them
off of the Azores islands. I had to trace each generation back in
time to something like the 1400 or 1300s. I have very few lines
that go back that far (I have many in the 1700s and some in the
1600s). So if you want to go back to the continent of Portugal,
trace each line back one generation at a time and see if you hit a
line that comes from the continent.
