Para: "Azores Genealogy" <[email protected]> Data: Segunda-feira, 21 de Novembro de 2011, 5:19 I am looking for my family history on the Portuguese side. My grandfather's side, who I never really got to meet, are from Sao Jorge. I went to a funeral one time for one of my great aunts who had passed and some of the family was there. Here is what I have; My Grandfather was George Faustine (da) Silva. His mother was Arminda Aurora Luiz(s). She was born 8 Mar 1889 in Sao Terceira, Azores. She died 6 Jan 1952 in Manteca, San Joaquin, California. She was the daughter of Manual Sineiro Luiz(s) and Maria D' Ascension Dias. She married George Faustino da Silva (my great grandfather) 26 Jul 1906 in Calheta, Sao Jorge at St Catherine's. I have the marriage papers (copy of from my Uncle Richard) and the release of citizenship from the King. The children are; George (my grandfather) Henry E Frank E Alma William Elsie Mary Maryann Gordon Jerry Great Grandpa- Jorgee Faustino da Silva. His first name was changed in spelling to George, they dropped the (da). The one married to Arminda is who I am now giving info on. He was born 15 Aug 1880 in Sao Jorge, Azores. He died 13 Jun 1950, Manteca, Ca. His father was Jorge Faustino da Silva. He married a lady who had the last name of Neves. My Grandfather married a Catherine Cook. They had four children- Richard, Evelyn, George and Mary. Arminda told my mother how her family left Terciera in the middle of the night. Her father either was a Captain of or worked on one of the slave ships. They then went to Calheta, Sao Jorge. If anyone can send any information it would be greatly appreciated.
