H Everyone, I have been following your group for the last few weeks and can't believe my first time writing is in a reply rather than a question. Although I do not recognize the family you are talking about, some of the names mentioned are very familiar to me. My grandfather, Antonio Ignacio Faria (Ignacio becomes Enos in the U.S.) went to Contra Costa around 1899 to join family members that had left Capelo, Faial earlier. He eventually came back to Taunton, MA and settled there with the wife he married while in Contra Costa. I have been researching this side of my family for a year and there are surnames Faria, Ignacio, Ignacia, Vargas, and Pereira. I have looked at many ship records and found many Farias coming into New Bedford, MA, Providence, RI and New York City, and then continuing overland to the West Coast. If you can't find any information listing the island your Farias came from, it wouldn't heard to go into the Azores Gen Web site for Capelo, Faial. I will also search to see if I can find any connection between our families. Maybe we are related. Eleanor Faria Dwyer
