Happy New Year's Eve everyone. I am hoping someone will recognize these names and help me fill in some blanks. Looking for information on two women and their families: a) Looking for Maria/Mary Silveira (Silveira is her married name). Born c. 1837 in Faial, Azores. Immigrated in 1865. Married Joaquim SILVEIRA, date unknown. She died 4 May 1902 in Oakland, CA. b) Mary's obituary lists two daughters, Mrs. A.F. FARIA (Faria is her married name) and Louise Azevodo (should be Azevedo). I am trying to learn the first name of Mrs. A. F. FARIA. I wonder if this is the same Faria family that owned Faria Brothers hardware store in San Leandro/San Lorenzo area. What I know: a) Mary Silveira's daughter, Maria Luisa “Louise” Josefa “Josephine” Silveira, was born 27 March 1871, likely in Rhode Island. Died on 2 Sept 1946 in San Leandro, CA. Louise married Manuel Martins Azevedo in 1889 in Alameda County, CA. He was born in Feteira, Faial in 1857. The couple had two children, Louis Martin/Martins Azevedo and Mary/Mae Margaret Azevedo. b) An A.S. FARIA, his wife Catharine and sister-in-law Nell Hannon, attended Louise's husband's funeral in 1937. At the time the FARIAs were residing at 2229 Washington Avenue, San Leandro, CA. The census for A.S. Faria says his mother was born in Rhode Island. Ponderings: a) Wonder if Mrs. A.F. FARIA is the mother of A. S. FARIA? A. S. FARIA was born in 1883. b) There is an A.F. FARIA (1881-1964) and his wife Mamie (1884 - 1971) at Holy Sepluchre Cemetery in Hayward, CA. He is too young to be Mrs. FARIA's spouse. Any thoughts on how to proceed or CONNECTiONS we might have would be appreciated. Deb (looking4roots51) When I searched for ancestors, I found friends!
