There were a lot of Faria's in Santa Clara, Santa Clara County, California. Also see as spelled "Freria" in 1920 census.

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! > > > > -- > For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
