Without more details/clues about your family, I am at a loss.
I asked about the census info because that would help us pinpoint whether your
relatives were in the Denny Street area, specifically, or in nearby
neighborhoods, or, just as likely, in another part of Oakland.
Can you share any info on the names, birth years, and their relationship to
one another of your Rebello relatives who might have lived in the Denny Street
area? If I knew that, I could look them up in the census.
Do you, by chance, have a tree on Ancestry or Family Search I could look at?
Perhaps if you know which village in Faial your family lived and the
names/dates of the family members who came from there, we could use that as a
starting place.
Oakland had a large percentage of the Portuguese population in CA for decades
and, as you may know, the same first names (Manuel, Joao/John, Jose/Joseph,
Antonio and Maria were very, very common) and were used within and across
families. Likewise, the same last names show up on and across the Azores and
Madeira islands and, therefore, across Oakland.
As much as I love a mystery and would like to help, looking for an Unknown
first name, with a last name of Robello, who is of an unknown age and who lived
in Oakland at some time just isn't enough info for me to see if there is a
connection.
If you would like to provide me with any additional info, I wouldbe happy to
see what I could figure out. If it just isn’t a good time foryou to look
through your myriad files and papers to provide me some clues, youmay want to
hang on to my info and perhaps reach out again in the future.
Best, Deb

Without actually looking at the myriad files and papers and copies of census
records - I believe my Mello family lived in this area. My grandparents (who I
never knew - they died before I was born) came from Sao Miguel and then
Hawaii.... There were 16 children (one, Daniel I know died at a very young age
- maybe 4 yrs.) My father Ernest Mello was born in Honokaa, HI as well as many
of his siblings.

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:
