Tina-- The Silva part of my family came to Provincetown MA sometime between 1888 and 1890. My great-grandfather Silva was originally from Santa Maria. My mother's paternal grandmother was a Vieira but her family was from Pico. Her two brothers, Francisco & Manuel come to the United States sometime in the 1880's. They ended up just across the Bay from San Francisco. Also the Silveira part of my family was from Pico. I have next to no information on that line. However, I do have a cousin who was from Beverly MA who married a man name Parks, I never met him and they have been divorced for a minimum of 10 years My cousin is now living in Florida.
