Braz born in Funchal Madeira in 1891. He came to the USA, maybe via Bermuda, around 1908. He had an older brother Manuel C. who also came to the US a few years before. They both resided in Fall River, MA. They had several sister who did not emmigrate. Their father's name was Manuel R.and their mother was Johanna Ferreira. I am looking for family history in Madeira.
