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. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
