Hi Betty,
My grandfather, Francisco Jose Luiz from Faial, came to this country in the
1800's and by the 1900 census had changed his name to Frank J. Lewis.
Lewis has been the family name since. However, the tombstone on the family
plot in Sacrament, Ca. is inscribed Luiz.

My Grandmother, Maria de Gloria Silveira, from Faial, came by boat to the

Many times they would add a qualifier that would distinguish by their job
or where they lived in the village. My grandmother was known as Maria de
Praia. Translated, Mary from the beach.
