My maternal grandmother, Maria Jose Ferreira Dinis, traveled from  Terceira 
via white Star Line, S.S. Cretic to the US in 1915.  She  is the one I 
could not find entering via Ellis Island.  
 
Elaine found her entering via the port of Boston.  She was  going to: "her 
father, Joao Ferreira Dinis; in Holt Station, San  Joaquim."  Her father was 
working in San Gregorio which is half way  between Half Moon Bay and Santa 
Cruz on the California border with the  Pacific Ocean.
 
I found someone who worked for the railroad and asked about Holt  Station.  
I was told that was a station in 1915 just outside  Stockton, CA.  I have 
not followed up on that information to see if  the station still exists.  
 
I also have a complicated story about my maternal grandfather;  however, he 
left Lisbon for the US in 1913.
