Dolores, My gr grandfather came to New Bedford in 1854, then to San
Francisco in 1865. He was listed as a seaman and was naturalized in
New Bedford. In San Francisco he married Abbie Madden from Ireland
and my father's mother was his first child.
I have done some research in the portuguese records which is on my
site. Here's the link to Joseph da Rosa's page & you can go back from
there. http://www.babkirk.com/wc01/wc01_043.htm
I am about to embark on another level of research so I'll let you know
if I uncover anything. I don't think there was a frank or francisco
listed as a sibling. His youngest brother was born in 1846.
