I would guess that Guilhermina would be Willamina since the male version is William. Good luck, Pat

This info is taken from ship manifests. Ermelinda Beatriz PEREIRA, b. 22 Dec 1896 (later Americanized to Emily B. Perry) from Urzelina, Velas, Sao Jorge arrived Boston, MA 3 Sep 1913 (age 16y, 8m) lived in New Bedford, MA until 1918 moved to and spent the rest of her life in Oakland, CA d. 27 Aug 1989, in Oakland, CA Her Mother: Guilhermina Gloria PEREIRA. Her maiden name might have been FREITAS, but right now I'm not 100% sure. I have no idea what the Americanized version of Guilhermina would be. b. 1865 from Calheta, Sao Jorge arrived Providence, RI, 17 Jul 1915 (age 50) lived in New Bedford and then went to CA. My last record of her is the 1920 Census when she is living with her daughter (Emily) and granddaughter: Patricia PERRY, b. 16 Apr 1919 in San Francisco, CA, and d. 20 Oct 2003 in Danville, CA Patricia's sister: Marie PERRY, was b. 23 May 1921 in Oakland, CA I don't know what happened to Guilhermina after 1920. She may have moved elsewhere or passed away. Does anyone recognize these people? And does anyone know what the Americanized version (if there is one) of the name Guilhermina would be?
