Hi everyone, I am new to the group and appreciate all of the great information.
My paternal grandfather, Manuel Silva Azevedo, is from Ribeira, Pico and came to the US at age 11 to live with his uncle Joe in CA (born Feb 23, 1888). My paternal grandmother, Marianna Sequeira is from Notre Grande, Sao Jorge (born 1889); census record shows she also came over to the US around age 11. They met in Marin County, CA and married in 1911, having 10 children including the youngest, my father (Marianna died in childbirth with my father in 1924; my grandfather Manuel died in 1960). The 1920 and 1930 federal US census shows Uncle Joe Azevedo living the family. I welcome any tips/information for further research (I am on Ancestry but have hit a dead end); I know virtually nothing about either of them—who their parents were, potential siblings (family story that my grandfather had a younger sister who stayed in Pico with their mother), etc. Three of four of my maternal grandparents are from Sao Jorge (Calheta), but I know much more about those lines (Vasconcelos, Valim, Bronco and also an Azevedo!). Also unfortunately I do not speak or read Portugese. Thanks! Sandy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
