Searching for descendants of Manuel THOMAS born in the Azore Islands in 1850's. Emigrated to U.S. approximately 1875 and settled in northern California (Alameda County). Married Maria AMBROSE (also from Azore Islands) and they produced 10 children. Believe Manuel died around 1897 in Alameda County. Any corroborating information most greatly appreciated.
