Is there anyone working on family history for Sao Jorge? I am from the Silva line out of Calhetta. Looking for info on g g grandparents, ggrandparents' siblings, etc. have posted before. I use Tribalpages. My great grand father was Jorge Da Silva, his wife was Arminda Aurora Lui( z or s). George came to America in 1898, Arminda came in 1906. I have George's immigration papers and the release from the King. I have their marriage paper. I have info on all their children. One person helped me find the ship they came in on in 1906. But I am stuck going backwards since the rest of the info is in Sao Jorge.
When George came in 1898 he had family with him. There were two. The others got off in Brazil. There is family in Mass as well. Iam working on that also. Arminda had lived on Terciera prior to Sao Jorge. Her mother had died on her family's boat. She was taken to Sao Jorge to be raised by family since her father was a ships Capt. I have some names that were listed on Calif death certificates. On George's the name Neves was his mothers. On Arminda's the name Diaz was on hers.
