Manuel, Yes, that is a record I have and the address I have also. I've been able to document them living at that address from sometime around 1922 through at most 1947, although a couple times the address changed to 2534 Pine Ave. Richmond, Contra Costa CA. Another interesting piece of info I found was another entry in the U.S. City Directories 1821-1989 (which is how I traced them living at this address through those years I mentioned) that has "John Faria/Residence Year: 1925/ Street Address: Manuel P. Faria (????)/Residence Place: Richmond, CA/ Occupation: trucker". Interesting how they put "Manuel P. Faria" in the street address field!
