Sammie,
The draft notice here, with wife's name, shows he is Manuel P Feria
born Jan 1877
The John T Faria on the 1930 census seems to me to be the same person
as Manuel. He may have taken american name. The age and immigration
dates match.
On the 1940 census, note that although Emma is the head of household,
she is listed as married and not widowed.

Hi Cheri,
Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I just assumed that since my subject
heading said California, people would know that's where I was
talking about. Port Costa is a census-designated place in Contra
Costa County, CA. Manuel was living there in 1900 apparently.
After that, most of my records had the family living in Richmond,
Contra Costa County, CA.
Thanks too for the clarification on the name. I figured that
Manoel was the Portuguese spelling. Funny, last night after
posting this, I was digging around in ship passenger lists and
found a Manoel, but whoever transcribed the information thought
the "o" in his name was an "s" and so now there are several
records that say "Mansel" Faria! All the name spelling changes
sure makes it hard to track a specific person! :)
I found several records then in the ship passenger lists, with
many Manoel's and many surname variations like de Faria, Ferreira,
Pereira, Farie, Farria, and Farias. The only one who was close to
the age my Manuel was said to have been during immigration was a
Mansel (Manoel) Faria who was 18 (year of birth abt.1875) and on
the ship Peninsular which arrived in NY, NY 9 May 1893. He was a
laborer and from Fayal, Azores. He was going to Fall River, MA.
The dates are a little off from my Manuel: my records had his
immigration year as 1894 when he was 17, and his year of birth as
1877. The dates and ages from the ship's record I found last night
are off about a year or two, so not sure if I have the right
person still.
I also don't know if Manuel was on a ship that went directly from
the Azores to San Francisco or if he was one of many Manuel
Faria's who went to Boston and then to Fall River, MA.

Sammie,
Since you are writing to a worldwide audience, you're going to
have to put more clarification on some places.
No clue where Port Costa is.
At the time your ancestor was born, the spelling was Manoel.
He probably learned to modernize after his immigration.
Feria would be a non-Portuguese person guessing how to spell
Faria.
Many immigrated to the eastern ports: New York, Boston,
Providence, New Bedford. Then many went overland to CA. A
few did go around the horn and immigrated through San
Francisco. Some went to HI first then CA.
A 30+ pages of "how to" can be found on the Azores Gen Web

Hi,
I'm researching my family and keep hitting a brick wall
trying to pin down the right person....My
great-grandfather was Manuel P. Faria. I've also seen his
name spelled Manual, and Manoel. I've also found records
on Ancestry where our last name was spelled Feria. I have
a U.S. Census record from 1900 which has him listed as
Manuel Feria, born 1877, married to Emma Feria (Her maiden
name was Enos), Marriage year 1900. Manuel was 23 at the
time of that census and living in Port Costa. Immigration
year is listed as 1894 and he was 17 years old at that
time. I have searched and searched. There are a lot of
Manuel Faria's out there! I cannot find a record of his
birth, his marriage, or his immigration. His birth year
changes depending on what record I'm looking at: it varies
from 1876-1878, as does the immigration date: 1894-1895. I
found more census records on him and Emma from 1910 and
1920, but in the 1930 census the head of household becomes
John S. Faria, and by the 1940 census, Emma is the sole
head of household. I cannot find a death record on Manuel
to explain this, and I'm perplexed as to who John S. may
be. I cannot find anything on Emma Enos either, at least
not the one I'm looking for. Manuel and Emma had 9
children and all appeared to have been born in Contra
Costa, CA: Manuel George, Lawrence Daniel (my
grandfather), Mary Evelyn/Evelyn Mary, John H., Anthony,
Philomena, Margaret, Frances, and Roseanne/Rose.
I also have a question about immigration. When people left
the Azores during that immigration I gave previously
(1894-1895), did they always go to Boston or New York or
other eastern port, or were there ships that took
immigrants directly to California?
Thanks so much if anyone can help out here or for any
ideas. I'm just starting out and already I'm confused! ;)
