I am trying to identify Jennie Solomon Silva's sisters that travelled
with Jennie on a whaling ship from the Azores. Does any part of this
story sound familiar?
Jennie Solomon Silva and her 2/3 sisters traveled on a whaling ship,
likely arranged by her brother Manuel Silva 1851 who worked on this
ship.. Their father(Joseph Silva abt 1821) was already in America
and owned Vinehill Ranch near Sebastopol. He convinced Jennie ad her
husband Manuel there was plenty of work in the berries, hops, and
grapes. Jennie and her family arrived in Sebastopol (a town of about
200) by Northwest Pacific Railroad on April 14, 1892 at 6:30 PM.
