2013-06-26 Thread Sam Koester
Shirley, John, et al;  Just wanted to chime in to say my de Fraga ancestors
are from San Tiago, Ribeira Seca, Sao Jorge so there is a contingent of
Fragas from there as well.  I have an aunt who was named Filomena (Minnie)
Lucille Fraga but; the time frame and her spouse's name are not correct for
Shirley's people.  Sam in California

Welcome Shirley,

First off, the original spelling of your grandmother's family name was most
likely Fraga or de Fraga. Immigration officials are noted for mispelling
names of immigrants.  Your post caught my eye since I have Fraga ancestors
from the island of Flores. The Fraga surname is also common on the Island of
Corvo but is also known to occur on other islands of the Azores.

I would recommend that you follow the procedures recommended by Cheri. Any
other names and dates you might be able to dig up from  family sources that
you could post might be helpful in case any of us on the list might
recognize them.

Regards,

John Vasconcelos.

Thank you John. The only information I have, sadly is the name of my 
grandmother Lucille Fraga,(that name has come up on the backs of pictures and 
was not sure to it's spelling.) Good to know that I can now narrow it down to 
Fraga. Thank you!

Shirley,

I've been working on Fraga families in Alameda county and spotted a Lucille
Fraga. She's from Indianab 1910, , maiden name Wynkoop. Her husband is
Ernest Fraga, b 1906. They're easy to find on the 1940 and 1930 censuses in
Oakland.
