Kathy, I visited Sausalito a couple months ago with hope to find anything on my family. The Portuguese Historical Society there was a tremendous help to me. They found a lot of my relatives in these documents, and the info it provided was incredible. I finally have found where they came from. I hope that it helps others as much as it helped me. Thank you for all your hard work. Ramona Freitas Nason

The collection is now complete on the Azores GenWeb site. If you’re not familiar with these records ….. they are for California ancestors only. The UPEC is a fraternal society that many of our ancestors joined for the insurance benefits as well as the socializing with others from their country of origin. They list men only but mothers, wives, children, etc. may be listed as their beneficiary. They can be an important resource for finding out the details of where your ancestor came from.
