Hi Niki, Welcome to the group.
There's a book on the history of the UPPEC: Joanne Vaz Camara (2001) Centennial album and history of the Conselho Supremo da União Portuguesa Protectora do Estado da California : 100 years of union & protection 1901-2001. Hayward, Calif. Supreme council, U.P.P.E.C. Here's a link to the libraries that have it: https://www.worldcat.org/title/centennial-album-and-history-of-the-conselho-supremo-da-uniao-portuguesa-protectora-do-estado-da-california-100-years-of-union-protection-1901-2001/oclc/49797598&referer=brief_results I haven't seen the book myself, but maybe it has information on the SLO chapter and the names of it's founding members. Perhaps someone in the group will recognize the names of relatives from your list and be able to provide more info about them, but in case not, what resources have you checked? For info on the Azores and immigration to the US, the CCA records, Ancestry.com, FamilySearch.org, and the Ellis Island records are the first things that come to my mind, but perhaps you've already checked those? Knowing what you've looked at will help us to help you more effectively. best wishes, Linda On Saturday, January 30, 2016 at 8:10:29 PM UTC-8, Niki Munoz wrote: > > ROSA TOMASA DUMAS (LIMA) MACHADO > > I am trying to find out more information about Roza/Rosa Machado. > > Rosa/Roza Tomasa Dumas LIMA was born on October 31, 1857, in Pico, Azores, > Portugal.
