Thanks John, I did some more searching on Ship Passenger lists and the two I did fine were from Flores! Good to know that someone else has see the name there. The trouble is that the Caetano Jose Focha that lived in Petaluma probably married here not Flores so I don’t think I will find his marriage. Wife’s name was Anna some say Silveira some say Mederios and of course, no village name listed on anything. He was in the UPEC,found his death on their registers but the council that he was in (3) was NOT filmed by the Mormon’s when they filmed the UPEC records. My girls friend is going to go to the Freitas Library and see if they will let her see the original membership record book and see if Caetano’s village is listed.

I ran the surname through the NEPS site for Pico & Faial and it didn’t come up. Does anyone out there know this surname on their Island of research? I don’t remember seeing it on Sao Jorge but then again I haven’t done research in every village. Thanks for any ideas on the surname.
