Hi Bella: I am doing some research for my husband's cousin. His name is
Melvin Silva, Jr. His grandfather was John Silva. I have managed to get a
copy of JOHN COSTA SILVA's death certificate here in California. It lists
John's parents as Thomas Silva from Azores and Mary E. from Azores.
This is what I have so far:
Thomas Silva X Maria "Mary" E. Costs:
CHILDREN
John Costa Silva
dob 2 Feb 1881, Faial, Azores (Don't know which village.), died 22 May
1954, Alameda County, California
Isabel Silva of San Leandro, California
Marianna Silva, Faial, Azores
Manuel Silva, Faial, Azores
So far I have looked in EVERY village for a Thomas Silva that had a son,
Joao who was born 2 Feb 1881. I haven't found anything.
If you should happen to find any info on these people, I would really
appreciate hearing from you.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. Where did you live in California. My father's family is from Alameda
County. My mother's family is from Santa Clara County.
Shirley in CA

The 'DNA cousin I have never met- I was contacted via Internet after showing
up on a DNA match. My few family cousins are not interesting in testing or
genealogy to date. I am willing to share what I have, haplogroup etc. Three
grandparents are from Faial (my mtDNA is from Faial) the fourth grandparent
is from the continent of Portugal. I was born in New England with relatives
in Mass and RI and others in California. I have lived in RI Mass and Calif
growing up. I am presently living in Faial. If I can help anyone just let me
know!
