I was at that conference too. I am the one that had left my laptop in Reno, NV at the airport. I was born in Niles (Fremont) and raised in Decoto (Union City) I have my grandfathers' naturalization papers. I got one from Oakland, and one from (I think) San Bruno. I just wanted to see if I could find more info. I can't get much info on my Paternal Grandfather, John da Cambra Roble. His father died as Manuel C. Rebello. My grandfather's mother was Mary. I know that he was from the island of Sao Miguel. I know that he lived in Hawaii. (He told me that he used to ride horses on the beach in Hawaii.) My cousin told me that he was from RIBEIRA SECA, Sao Miguel. But, I still haven't found him. I now live in the Sierras about 45 miles from Reno. There is a FHC in Portola, about 7 miles away. I have only been there once in Dec. I was sick for Dec & Jan. And now there is too much snow outside.

We researched using the files at the FHC. Found my grandfather's and my grandmother's brother's naturalization records filed in Oakland, CA. So if you are not close to a FHC there in the Bay Area, couldn't you go to the Oakland, to the Alameda County records office?
