Hi Caroline,
Fantastic!
I'm away from home with very limited internet access. I'll try to look at the
record when I get back.
Best of luck with your research,
:)

Hi Linda,
Thank you for the letting me know about the marriage index. I was able to

Caroline,
Wonderful! As you are researching Terceira, you should download the Terceira
Marriage Index if you don't already have it. I'm having tech issues, so can't
provide a link, but it's here in the forum in two or three threads and a search
should bring it up.

Thank you Rosemarie and Cheri about the reminder to check with the local
Church. I left a message with St Patricks to see what they have. I have
also realized that Frank's mother's family lived in Pajaro at some point
around the 1910 census, which is next to Watsonville but is considered

Take what St. Patrick's Church gives you with a grain of salt. If they
tell you they have no records, don't assume that's the truth. I was told
they did not have a death record from my relative F.J. Bettencourt who dies
in Watsonville around 1933. Guess what? When I visited Watsonville, I

Hello Caroline,
I believe I have a connection to your Gomes/Brown line. Was Mary A.
Brown's parents, Francisco Silveira de Brum Brown and Maria Lewis? Mary A.
Brown died in June 1973 - Seaside, California? If so, another sister, Rose
E. Brown married Tony L. Gomes. I have some paper documen
California births began in 1905, but they took about 15 years to be in
compliance.
A variety of CA Birth Indices can be found on the FamilySearch Wiki here:

I'd try the 3rd one. My dad is misindexed and some of the searches don'
Caroline, if Santa Cruz Cnty doesn't have a birth certificate for Frank
Gomez, try the Catholic Church in Watsonville. I think that it is St.
Patrick's Church. You might have better luck finding his baptismal record
which might show where his parents came from too, you never know!

Hi all,
Just an update on what I have found so far.
I had been focusing my newspaper search to the Santa Cruz County and
Stanislaus County areas, using Newspapers.com, Legacy.com and Archives.com
. Thank you Cheri for the link to the Portuguese papers archives.

Caroline, have you checked with the church in Watsonville for the marriage
record? The parish register may have the island of origin. My one grandfather
married in Mission San Jose and the register states he was from Faial.

Caroline and Celeste,
Celeste's last post just
hit me like a ton of bricks ***
California began their vital record registration of births and deaths
around the early 1900s. It took a few years for everyone to be in
compliance (all doctors, midwives, etc reporting the birth and deaths). So
early 19teens records are a crap shoot. Maybe you will get lucky or not.
A marriage ann
Thank you, Celeste! I did find Manuel's draft card but he is listed as an
"non declarant alien" and I have not found any naturalization documents,
just in case. It looks he lived most of his time here in the USA in
Stanislaus County and then passed in San Joaquin County in 1942.

Hi Cheri,
Thank you for the link. I am on the hunt for any and all USA records for
sure.
I already received a response from Santa Cruz County for Frank's birth
certificate (allegedly born in Watsonville) and they are not able to find
it.
I did find a small notice of a Superior Court Tran

D HIM! So there may be some hidden information in the county where he
lived here in California.

An update to my search!
I think we have found Frank's father, Manuel Gomes from a draft card, a
death certificate online and thru the census:

Hi Linda!
Thank you for those links! I have mainly been on the Ancestry.com site and
forgot what resources are out there to check. I will have to see if there
is a connection.
We were recently told that Manuel Gomes passed before my FIL was born in
1941 so the dates are off but could have
Thank you for the information! I have been checking Ancestry and found
census records from 1920 and 1930 that were helpful - even though one of
those had everyone spelled Gomez but all the other names matched...lol.

Louie's right, find all the US documents you can first.
You may already have seen these, but Eva's marriage:

has her father as "Manuel E. Gomes". Assuming that Eva's family was also
located in Modesto, and that her father died there or thereab
I went through a similar situation ... find every document in the US first
... Wedding, Baptism, birth ... everything for Frank.
It also appears that his parents might have come to the US before he was
born ... search Census records for the area in the 18 and 1900's. Also,
