Does anyone know of this family paternal grandmother's family immigrated from Pico to Massachusetts from about 1890 through 1905. I know the name of the ship on which my grandmother and her parents traveled, the S.S. Cambroman, arriving on June 17, 1903. My grandmother's sisters and brother arrived earlier on different ships. paternal grandfather, Jose P. Lopes, arrived on a whaling ship. He jumped ship in Newport News, VA and swam ashore in about 1897. Jose tracked down a brother Joao Lopes who lived in CA but they had a falling out and Jose eventually settled in Mass. My grandfather was the son of Luis Pereira Lopes and Maria Candid do Rego, and was born on February 5, 1877 in the parish of Rosario in the county of Lagoa on the island of St. Miguel. Maria Candid do Rego died and Luis Pereira Lopes (d. 1927) remarried. His wife didn't want children from the other marriage and so my grandfather was farmed out. He had two brothers, Luiz and Joao, and a sister whose name we don't know. Joao (used Lopes as a last name) immigrated to Isleton, CA and Luiz (Gaspar seems to be his last name) traveled back and forth between the US and Acores but two of his daughters moved to CA (used Perry as their last name). I know that my grandfather's brother Luiz and one of his daughters (Alexandria?) arrived in CA in 1910 but I am not sure of their route. According to family history, grandfather's oldest brother, Luiz Pereira Gaspar d. 1943 in Sao Miguel (brother of Jose P. Lopes) had the following offspring who were born in Sao Migel: Margaret Pereira (Lopes)--eventually settled in CA and had a daughter named Louise Gloria Pereira (Lopes) Alexandria Pereira (Lopes)--I think she immigrated to CA Maria do Carmo Pereira Manuel Pereira Gaspar Joao Pereira Gaspar Jose Pereira Gaspar Antonio Pereira Gaspar Manuel Antonio Gaspar I really don't know anything about Joao Lopes or his family who settled Isleton.
