FERNANDEZ (Manuel) [c1879-1966] to USA
Hello,
I am looking for any information related to a Manuel FERNANDEZ y Gantez; born about 1879 or so. Spanish ancestry but was living in Portugal, especially Madeira Island. Several of his brothers and sisters(?) emmigrated to New Bedford, Massachusetts. He married a woman named Frances (Francisca) CALISTO of Madeira Island (an arranged marriage around 1908) and came to America between 1910 and 1913. They settled in Sonoma county, California in Petaluma. They had a son, John Agentes FERNANDEZ and a daughter, Frances Mary FERNANDEZ. They divorced in the 1930s and he lived in northern California until he died 1966/67. Apparently his father was also named Manuel and his mother's maiden name was Gantez.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
