James also check the UPEC Fraternal Society records for any more info about where in Pico he came from. I have those records at my local Family History Center (FHC) but I won’t be going back there until next Tuesday. When I do I will check out the ledger book for him. Where to you live, James? If you are anywhere close to Monterey CA you can come to the FHC any Tuesday when I will be working 4—9pm.

I've even searched people in the first census I could find him in thinking they might have arrived together with no luck. A man in Santa Cruz, Ca. sent me pictures of the family burial plot in Castroville Ca.Cemetery just three days ago and I was pleased as punch to see something of the man I've been trying to find for the last two years. If it weren't for census records I would think he just fell out of the sky. The following is from my findagrave. What is on the headstone about his parents is all I know about them. Birth: Apr. 4, 1839 Azores Region, Portugal Death: Jan. 4, 1907 Moss Landing Monterey County California, USA [Edit Dates] Native of Pico, Azores Islands. Son of Antonio and Catharine (Silveria) Brune. [Edit Bio] Family links: [Edit] Spouse: Lugarda Espinosa Brune (1849 - 1925)* Children: Manuel Thomas Brune (1868 - 1953)* Gertrude M Brune (1877 - 1969)* James F Brune (1879 - 1940)* John P Brune (1881 - 1945)* Alfonso Brune (1893 - 1925)* *Calculated relationship [Add Marker Transcription] [Add Note] Burial: [Edit] Castroville Public Cemetery Moss Landing Monterey County California, USA Plot: Block 1, Lot 121.

I found a couple Antonio Brum and Catarina Rosa, but they were too old to have been Manuel's parents. Brum as a surname does appear on Pico, but could be part of a combination, e.g. Brum Rodrigues. Any chance of a second name for Antonio ? Also, women often show up with religious names, e.g. Maria Espirito Santo, rather than surnames. So, did Catarina use any other name(s) ? Sorry, I wasn't able to find your couple right away. Maybe someone else on the list can help. Or, maybe the village in question hasn't come online yet.

He arrived in the U.S. in 1865, Married Lugarda Espinosa in 1868. His parents were Antonio Brune and Catharine Silveria of Pico. I've been unable to find his place of arrival or naturalization records. In the 1900 census he is listed as naturalized. I know he is from Pico Island, but I need this information to (maybe) find the village he's from. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
