I have gathered some new information on my great grandparents and
hope someone finds this information familiar...
Jennie Solomon Silva(b1857 Azores) arrived 1866/69 to Rhode Island
with her 3 sisters(unknown?)to meet her father Joe Silva(b1821
Azores) who had arrived abt 1865. She met and married(1875) Manuel
Borba(b1851 Azores) in Rhode Island and they migrated to California
settling in Sebastopol. I believe that her father Joe Silva owned the
Vinehill Ranch in Sebasopol, California.
Manuel Borba and Jennie Solomon Silva raised 11 children in
Sebastopol, Louis b1895, Charles b1893,William(Bill)b1886,Marieb1885,
Virginia(died at 14)b1889,Emanuel(Manuel)b1878,Harry(my grandfather)
b1899, George b1880, Joseph(Joe)b1881, Frankb1883 and Margaret b1889.
Her brother Manuel Silva(b1851 Azores) arrived abt 1877 to Rhode
Island and I believe he married had children all born in Rhode Island
(most settling in RI). If I have the right people his wife was Mary
b1854, children Manuel b1871, Antone b1872, Louisa b1884, John b1866
and Elizabeth(Lizzie) b1888.
Thanks so much,
Adair Borba
