Robin,
I have been trying for some time to connect my Great Grandmother
(Jennie Solomon Silva) to her family.
She was born in 1856(Sao Jorge), arrived in 1869 to Rhode Island, she
married in 1875 Manuel Ignacio Borba in Rhode Island. They migrated
to Northern California and settled in Sebastopol.
Joseph(Jose) Solomon 1871 may be her father...Manuel Siva Solomon was
her brother, born in 1851 in Sao Jorge. I believe her brother was in
California or crossed country with them.
I have a good handle on her children and where they settled, but have
not been able to solidly connect what happened to her brother/family,
or trace her Mother.

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.
Thanks for your help,
Robin L
