Was your mother baptized at St. Dominic's? If so, wouldn't they have had a record of it? Was she listed in the 1930 US Census enumeration? I'm interested in Benicia Azorean-Americans because my father and his siblings were all born in Benicia, although most of my immediate family had left for the East Bay by 1928. From my research into US Census enumerations I'm aware that from 1900-1920 Benicia's Portuguese population burgeoned significantly (my family had arrived in the late 1870s, so were a generation ahead, and thus apparently quite assimilated by the turn of the century).
