Greetings to All

 

I’m new to Google Groups – Azores Geneology  and am not quite sure how this 
works, but here
goes.

 

My great grandfather was Manuel Thomaz Silviera, Born
February 7, 1865 in Biscoitos, Calheta, Sao Jorge, Azores.  He passed on 
October 9, 1952.

 

My great grandmother was Mary Bernarda Luiz, Born in
1871, in Biscoitos, Calheta, Sao Jorge, Azores. 
She passed in 1961

 

Both great grandparents are buried in San Luis Obispo,
California, USA

 

My great great grandfather was Antone Machado Souza, and
my great great grandmother was Maria Delphia Silveira.  I assume that they both 
were born and died on
Sao Jorge, Azores

 

I am unable to find any information about my great great
grandparents.  

 

I;m a little concerned about the family surname being
passed from my great great grandmother, as I have only known of the male
surname being passed forward.  Any
information on this tradition would be appreciated.

 

One cousin tells me that the family name goes back to
Willem van der Haegen, who accepted the Portuguese translation of Guilherme da
Silveira.

 

Where do I look? What books might have helpful
information?

 

I’m relatively new at this Geneology hobby, and have hit
this brick wall.  Looking forward to
hearing from all of you.
