[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: BRICK WALL Brio
Donna, Thank you for the info...I will have to check it out and see if that is her. Yes...they do still celebrate Holy Ghost Festival there in Hawkinsville...every year it is smaller and smaller as the old timers pass on. My dad use to be a big part of it until he passed in 1986.

There is an obit in the Siskiyou News 6/10/1915 for Amelia Francis. Perhaps you could contact them, or request a copy from SKS on Siskiyou Message Board Siskiyou County Library; 719 4th St. Yreka, California 96097 (530) 841-4175 -- siskiyoulibr...@snowcrest.net. Siskiyou County has many good genealogical resources, and the county office staff is very helpful. The Siskiyou Pioneer and Yearbook, a publication of the Siskiyou County Historical Society has a Hawkinsville Edition, 2004. In it a paragraph describes the 1905 Great Feast of the Holy Ghost. A Flower Girl in the procession is an Olivia Francis. In 1919, Frank Francis is on the committee of the I.D.E.S. sponsored celebration. I understand the Penecost celebration continues today in Hawkinsville. Good luck with your search. Donna O My great great grandfather was Joseph Francis Brio, more likely, Jose Francisco, last name could be spelled Brejo. I have also seen his last name as Braio. He was born on Flores, Azore Islands 1835. Came to America in 1854, was granted citizenship papers in Boston, Mass on April 24, 1854. He married a woman named Amelia, nothing else known about her. I have heard her maiden name could have been Brio, and Joseph's surname could have been Francis. They ended-up in Yreka, Siskiyou County CA. Both are buried at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Yreka, CA. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also...I was reading the census from Yreka, Siskiyou county, CA. And it states someone was born in Ireland...help appreciated!! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
