My 2nd great grandmother was: Luisa Canhoto JacintaBorn 1847 in Santa Cruz das, Flores, Azores Death Jan 22 1879 in San Juan or Hollister, California
Her parents were: Manuel Canhoto Jacinta Mariana Julia da Gloria Rodrigues 1810 - Her widower married Luisa's Niece: Filomena Jacinto Birth 21 Sep 1878 or 1862 in Flores, Azores, PortugalDeath 16 Aug 1952 in Contra Costa, CA Luisa, above came to Massachusetts as well, then onto San Juan, California. She married Daniel Francisco DeRosa (from Pico). They had two children. She died a few months after giving birth to twins (one twin being my Great Grandmother). Daniel married Luisa's niece Filomena. They had five children between this marriage. When I went to San Benito County, California to do research I too was told the family names on this line were: Caetano, Garcia as well as Jacinto and Rodrigues. All these name have panned out and were correct. Some took on Caetano, some Jacinto, etc. Feel free to email me at besotes (at) succeed.net. I have met another genealogy person who is related on this line as well. He's not on this group, or I'd introduce you to him.
