My parternal grandfather, Jesse (Jacentho) Ferreira was born Dec 7, 1878 and was placed on the wheel in Sao Miguel, Ponta Del Gado in the convent there. I have his baptism records but I have been unable to learn anything more about him. Can’t find his immigration to America in 1901 or1902, No passport information or anything else that will help me flesh out a simple profile. My maternal grandmother, Mary Conceicao Sousa Ferreira supposedly came to America a year or two after Jesse and she came with my Uncle Manuel who was born 12 Oct 1903. All I know is that Jesse worked on the Ferry Boats between Oakland and San Francisco for about 30 years.I know what I need to know about his California life but getting there is s mystery. Any help would be appreciated.
