Jenna, I agree with Judy. Look at the city directories. My mother was told by her mother that her dad had died when she was a baby. In one of the city directories it stated that he had returned to Portugal. Through ship's records I found the village he came from and eventually found his daughter from another marriage (my mother's half sister). You got the short version but it ended well with sisters getting together and loving each other as well as a terrific relationship between my aunt and myself. Another piece of the puzzle was that I checked with the cemeteries in the area and one responded that they didn't have my grandfather but did have a sister of my mother's that had died at 1 year old who my mother new nothing about. That gave me some information that my grandfather was alive a lot longer that we were led to believe. Good luck - keep looking.
