I had an uncle, Antonio da Silva who made me a lovely mandoline back in the 1940's. I don't know if he did this professionaly or not. I thought he was a carpenter.

I'm sure we could get some documents on her family, though it may not be the same since your ancesters were from Faial. Faial is just a short ferry away from Pico. Did anyone in your Massachusetts family go into the violin making business?

My ancestors are Silvas, Vieras (Faial), and Silveiras (from Pico). I find it very hard to get any records before they got to the US.
