I agree with Cheri in that the passports are a great place to start for you. 
You have an approximate date so if you find your ancestor, the records from 
that time generally include where they were from as well as parents. It will be 
a great clue to guide you to the appropriate church records.

Good luck and happy hunting!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Leonardo/Simas family in Humboldt County

[Cheri Mello]

Trisha,

You have names and dates, but you need the freguesia (village) over there
to begin your search.
Here's a how to from the Azores Genweb of ideas on how to find your
freguesia: https://goo.gl/vOijK0

Since their names a little different, you *might* be able to find the
outbound from the Azores on the "Passaportes." You have "about" dates. So
start there, and then search a year before and then a year after. Then keep
expanding. You want to look in the port of Angra:

Good luck, Cheri

[AZORES-Genealogy] Leonardo/Simas family in Humboldt County

[Trisha]

Hello!

I have been working on my genealogy for quite some time. My family from the 
Azores is a complete brick wall. Here is what I know:

My great grandpa was Frank Joseph Leonardo (Possibly Francisco Jose) b. 
1889 in Terceira. He emigrated in abt. 1909.

He married:

Emelia (census says Amelia) Gertrude Simas b. 1894 in Terceira. She 
emigrated in about 1913.


Besides that, I really have zero information on them. Franks mothers maiden 
name may have been Goncalves. I have found census info for a "Amancio 
Golcalves Leonardo" who I believe may be Franks older brother. 

Emelia's mothers maiden name may be Brito.


Anyone know of what I should be looking? I'm so lost here.
