Hi Adena, Glad you saw my email and wrote. Do you know the
street/neighborhood where your Robello family members lived? That would be a
good start and is info you can find from most of the most recent census
documents.
I would be happy to chat. If you message me at looking4roots51 at yahoo.com, I
will give you my phone number.
Best, Deb

Hi there,
I am still fairly new to this researching but I do have many relatives from
Oakland with the following surnames: Robello, Oliveira, Vargas, Perry, Silva,
Tavares, and many others. From what I can tell I have familiy from Sao Miguel
as well as Faial.
I would love to chat and find out more if possible. My Dad is the last Robello
of his generation that we knew of until recently - I found a few Robello Uncles
and Aunts he had no idea about!!

My grandparents/parents lived on Denny St. in Oakland from c. 1910- c.1953. I
started researching the neighbors and discovered some are relatives. Did any
of you have relatives in the area of 98th Avenue and San Leandro Street? If so,
I would love to figure out our connection. I would like to write a book about
the families and the journey that brought them to the neighborhood. Here is a
link to a Google map that shows the area.

My grandfather came from Feteira, Faial. My grandmother's family came from Sao
Martinho and Santo Antonio, Madeira. Many of the people in the neighborhood
are also from the Azores and Madeira islands and a number spent time in Hawaii
before coming to the mainland. The surnames of the neighbors over that time
span are:

If you have family that lived nearby, I would love to chat.
