Hi Gordon,
Thanks for reaching out.
Before my relatives lived in the Elmhurst section of Oakland, they were in the
Melrose district for a few years and before that near 5th-10th Streets.
Adeline and MacArthur is a distance north and east of those neighborhoods. So
the link wouldn't be an obvious one.
I am a bit confused by your statement that your family came from "Via Das
Lajes, pico Faisal." I am by no means an expert on geography of the Azores
islands, so my apologies in advance if I am speaking out of turn. But it is my
understanding that Pico and Faial/Fayal are two separate islands and that Lajes
do Pico is a regional area/municipality on the island of Pico. Am I,
perhaps, misunderstanding?
My Faial relatives did migrate to the island from Pico some generations earlier
than those who came to Oakland.
If you have any details to share that could help me start hunting to see if
there is a connection, please let me know. It is always fun to sleuth,
especially if the sleuthing leads to new relatives.
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.
