Am grandaughter of John Alameda (Almada oringial spelling in Portugal) came to the
United States in the early 1900's from
Santa Cruz, Maderia Isl. Portugal. He was
born in 1888 father Manuel Almada mother
Francis Freitas Almada, 1 brother Manuel
who stayed and lived a full life in Portugal
where they grew up. My grandfather married
Maria Nunes in 1927, in the Santa Clara
Valley where he worked ranches etc. His
brother Manuel was in sugar cane in Santa
Cruz Portugal he had 2 sons and a daughter,
possibly a 2nd daughter. The one son
Manuel was killed on the main land in Portugal. The sister was married to a car
salewman in Funchal Portugal. The other
brother I do not know his name migrated to
Canada sometime after 1975 as my grandparents
went back in 1975 the first time my grandfather had seen his brother in about
60 years, a whole lifetime. They neither
one of them thought the other was alive.
My grandfather died the year after. Would
like to find cousins, one in Canada and
2 more in Funchal Portugal.
Have alot of cousins and uncles and aunts
located in the Santa Clara Valley.
