Linda, NEPS stands for "Nucleo de Estudos de Populacao e Sociedade". It a site run by the University of Minho studying the migration patterns of the Portuguese diaspora.
They have been putting records on line and connecting them by establishing family groups. You can access it using: www.neps.ics.uminho.pt/genealogias.html<http://www.neps.ics.uminho.pt/genealogias.html> Go to the Genealogies pull down menu to access the islands of Pico, Faial and Sao Jorge. It's been a slow process (that's not meant as a criticism) as more records get added. Hope that answers your question.

Greg, So the grandparents divorced? Then he married Pauline? I'll look for more on this. I have a similar stuation in my family. My grandmother's sister had a boy hit by a car and killed in San Antonio in 1935. When I traveled there to meet my great aunt , the family gave me his photo album. They didn't know what to do with it, but couldn't just throw it out, so I have it now. On the Victorino and Quiteria marriage, you'll see it was January 1888, and Manuel was born in October. I believe they are his natural parents. I'm looking forward to reading the book, many people have recommended it to me.

She was poor soul, her first child (not with Manuel) was killed at age 4 or 5 by a car in the street in front of her house chasing a ball. The story goes on to say she was holding his dead body in her arms screaming, his head was said to crushed. She spent the rest of her life an alcoholic who lived near East 14th Street San Leandro. She did live to be over 90..... Eric, the ancestry you send me has left me in a whirlwind. I have trying to make sense of Victorino’s marriage to Quitéria Tomásia do Coração de Jesus in 1888, that was the same year my grandfather was born? Wondering why my grandfathers birth doesn’t show. Then 20 years later Victorino put him on the ship. Or if Victorinos first wife was his mother was actually? That would make him full brother/sister of Francisca I have a copy of my fathers birth certificate, I found it the same time I found my grandfather immigration card. During the heat of filling out the certificate it shows my grandfathers name as Manuel Victor Dias and the son (Alvin, my father) with the name Manuel Victor Dias as well !! BTW I just finished reading “The Undiscovered Island” by Darrell Kastin .... would of read it non-stop but my vision gets blurred... Thanks again for helping me making it real!

Greg, The information was put together mostly from Ancestry.com<http://Ancestry.com> for shiplist and censuses,from Vitalsearch for birth and death records, from the Gold Nugget Library site for city directories, and the NEPS site. What I haven't found is much on Elsie Falk. The children she had with Manuel show her last name as Rose. In the Alameda county area there are a few Elsie Roses, born in California, of Danish descent. The Elsie Falks found are also of Danish background. Another loose end is the sister Francisca mentioned on the shiplist. I'll get back to you if I find more.

I also went crazy on the NEPS site recently ... tried a lot of name combinations.... but obviously YOU have the magic touch my friend. I saw the name Vitorino and it reminded me of my fathers middle name Victor. Tell me Eric.. where are you from and a little about your ancestors... por favor. I live in El Salvador now in the coffee mountains overlooking the Pacific. We just finished our annual party for all of the employees of our community with their children. 100 plus, the are so genuine and grateful. My heart has always been open to all peoples and now I find I have a new mission. I am enamored by finding out WHY for my whole life I have love the sea, Islands, volcanoes and believe it or not earthquakes! ... I was born in San Francisco, lived in Los Anglers and now El Salvador all earthquakes zones. This is the key for me my friend.

I found Manuel Garcia Dias on a ship list coming from Faial to Massachucetts 1909. It had fathers name, Victorino Dias Furtado. I took this to the NEPS site for Faial and hunted around a while to find him in Feteiria. That gave me the Praia do Almoxarife birthplace. So here is what appears to be the family tree going back four more generations from the great grandfather.
