Bella- My name is Joe Pine and I have been researching my family tree for the past year. I have found that my paternal grandparents were both born in Salao, Faial. My grandfather was Salvador Silveira Pinheiro, born on July 15,1884, emigrated in 1912 to Providence,RI. He changed his surname to Pine at that point. He married my grandmother in Bristol,RI and eventually moved to Falmouth,MA to raise his family.My grandmother was Guilhermina Oliveira da Silva,and born on Oct. 24,1883. She emigrated to Providence,RI in 1914. I grew up in Falmouth and retired to Arizona 10 years ago. I see that you lived in MA and are living in Faial now. My brother and I would like to visit Faial this year or next year. I would enjoy hearing from you. You could contact me by email , [email protected]. I have also done the FTDNA test, so we may have some common ancestors. In addition to my grandparents surnames, I've found Rodrigues, Simas, de Freitas, Da Rosa, Pereira, Mendonca, Medeiros, and Correia. Most of these appear to be near Salao. I look forward to hearing from you or any others that think there is a familial connection.
