I grew up in Orange County and we had Foster's Freeze there as well
(although as a little kid I tended to mispronounce it as Frosty
Freeze), so I don't know how local it was.
Also, I stumbled upon this pretty interesting history of Azorean
immigration to California (with chapters on East Coast

Ana Inacia's full name is Ana Inacia. Maria Inacia's full name is Maria
Inacia. Just as Marcio typed it. There's a time period where women didn't
have surnames. As annoying as it is to us today, that's how they were known
then. Most of us record them in our genealogy programs without
Thanks for the Foster's Freeze link, Cheri! I'd never have imagined
it would be on Wikipedia -- but then again nowadays it sometimes seems

My great aunt and uncle had the franchise in Oakland near Castlemont High

I have checked and loaded the list you sent me. This is a big break
through for me, but I cannot see where you fit into this trail. Is
there somewhere else for me to go to continue this line?
Thanks so much,

Does anyone have any idea how most of the Azoreans traveled to
California? I assume they took a boat from the Azores (there was no
other way off before air planes LOL), but did they complete the trip
around So. America and up to California by boat or did they disembark
in New York/Boston and

Azoreans used both methods, rounding the horn, and overland. In
the latter 19th century, several of my relatives ended up in CA after
having migrated to HI. Some worked out their contracts in HI, and
stayed, others opted for the mainland, most to CA. One rounded the
horn on route to HI, but had to

As Dano eluded to, I think it depends more on the time period. The Panama
Canal was around the 19teens, if my memory serves me correctly.
However, I'm pretty sure most Portuguese came to the east coast first (if
headed for America. Remember, Hawaii was
