I found your first email very confusing. Isabel wasn't widowed when seh married Primo. The ones i'm talking about married in the Azores but it looks like you say they married there!!!!! Do you have Isabel's obituary from newspaper?

Para: Azores@googlegroups.com Data: Sábado, 25 de Outubro de 2008, 7:30 Marcio, That does sound like it is them. How did you find that info? I always thought that Frank Holmes was their father as that is what they put on the death certificates, and her social security record. My Grandmother Marie Holmes wrote a book and in the front of the book it is decaticated and reads "In memory of my marvelous Father and Mother, Elizibeth and (Primo Sousa) Frank Holmes, one of the innocent who suffered for the wicked. But the end of such ruthless deeds has come! Right and Truth shall win all battles." I read this to say that Frank Holmes was her father and he died and Isabel her mother remarried Primo? But I am not sure now? What do you think? In the 1930 census for Hanford, Calif. one question was how old were you at first marriage and they put 40 for Primo and 42 for Isabel. So I did the math and figured she married about 1885 or 1888. Which would have been before my grand mother was born. So why did all the children use the last name of Holmes and put Frank Holmes as their father and Isabel Enos as their mother? She also told my mother that when they came over to the US no one could pronounce their name which sounded like Omens so they changed it to Holmes. Maybe I am trying to put to much in the fact they put Frank Holmes as their father. It could be they did not want anyone to know they were portuguese. They also put that they were all born in the U.S. and I know they were not. My grand mother also used to say we were related to the Sousa's but never told me her mother and father's last name was Sousa. I don't know what to think now. It is hard to know why they did some of the things they did when they came to this country? Except I have heard that back then in Calif. none of the children put down that they were portuguese. Only that their parents were portuguese. Let me know what you think? Thanks to you and to everyone that answered my questions for all their help. I really do appreciate your knowledge and help.
