HI Robin -- I did a quick search on Ancestry.com on Ambrose Caldera. The only Ambrose Caldera (b 1848 and born in the Azores) that came up in the Census records (1900,1910 and 1920) is a patient at Agnews State Hospital. Interesting. I have no idea if that was the brother of Mary and Innocencia as listed below.

My Mother and I were speaking on this phone this afternoon regarding genealogy. She was going back thru her genealogy "stuff" and was reading this obit to me. When she mentioned your Innocencia, I asked if she could transcribe this and send it to me. I'll need to get with her in the next couple weeks and see if I can scan some of these. Of course, their copies of copies, so I'm not sure how well they'll come thru. But, it did mention more Caldera / Nunes family members...they are obits. Take care and I hope this helps, Robin Borba Besotes Beloved Pioneer Mother Passes: Husband was Early Orchardist Hollister lost one of its most prominent pioneer mothers in the passing of Mrs. Maria L.
