Hello Len, My relatives all settled in New Bedford when they arrived coming through Providence, RI. Did you look there? By the way, my great grandfather was Joao Correia dos Santos. All his siblings and father are Correia da Silva. He had a brother Manuel. His grandfather was also Manuel. They came from Graciosa. Most of my relatives left New Bedford for the Santa Clara Valley. The Silva ones we know of went to Mendocino County, Fort Bragg, and Truckee. Any relation?
