Does anyone have any info on Amelia Candida Enos??  She was born about 1844 most likely in Flores.  She married Joseph Francis Brio, where at unknown. They ended-up in Yreka, Siskiyou county, Calif where Amelia died in 1915.  Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,  I have tried to research Enos in the Azores with no luck.  I was told that Enos was not the correct spelling and that it could be spelled several different ways - Inacio, Ignacio, Eanes, Eanas- I was given 8 or 9 variations most of which I can't remember.  I had that information in my cmputer at one time but lost it to a virus that hit my computer several years ago.  My Enos was from Pico.

Go to the archives of this site and you will see someone has
researched a Brio family recently.

Marek,
I found an 1880 census for Hawkinsville, Siskeyou County, CA listing Joseph Francis Brio age 45, occupation miner, his wife Amelia F. Brio age 40, homemaker, both born in Portugal, their parents born Portugal, their children, Mary F age 13, Joseph F 11, Clara F 10, Johanna F 7, Manuel F 5 and Antone F 2.  Could not find any immigration record.  Hope this helps.
Judi

Hi Al and Marek,
 
I also have Enos family. This name has been very mysterious but very important to my family. I still haven't discovered why though. 
 
My Ggrandfather, Joseph Victorino, came from Sao Jorge in the late 1880's to New Bedford. In the 1900 census he used the name Joseph Enos, his marriage papers have 2 different names listed on the civil and parish records.....one gives his father as Thomazo Veira and the other says Thomazo Oliveira.....he never used either of those names. In the 1910 census he had changed his named to Victorino......the odd part is that my ggrandmother, Francisca Rosa de Lemos always gave her name as Frances Enos and they named my grandmother, Clara Enos Victorino......so it was an important name to them but I have no idea why! To further confuse the issue my Mom said that the story went that when he came over the immigration people changed his name from Jose Bettencourt to Jose Victorino......I've looked for the name in the Sao Jorge records...Enos that is and for any man named Thomazo married to an Ana Joaquina.....but have found nothing.
 
Regards,
Nancy Jean Baptista

I don't know if this will be of any help to any of you looking for Enos' but back in the late 1920's through 1950's or so Bay Point, Ca (Contra Costa County) was known as Enes Tract. Most of the people in that area were from the Azores. My mother was born there. She is a Medeiros.
 
The Enes' built most of the homes there, which is why it was called that. I don't know all of their names but there was Christopher (my brother's godfather), Albert and Bernard. I know the name is spelled a little different but that happens sometimes. There is a street there in Bay Point named Enes Street. There were a number of other portuguese families there also. The one's I can remember are: Evora, Dutra, Medeiros, Mendonsa, Pereira, Alvernaz, Azevedo and of course Enes. It was a small community made up of a few streets with houses and a number of large ranches. The last ranch to be sold to make way for new housing was the Alvernaz ranch which was sold about 8 or 9 years ago and became the San Marcos housing tract adjacent to highway 4.
 
Like I said, I don't know if this info is helpful at all but I thought I would throw it out there just in case.

Marek,

In Flores, the Inacio surname is found in Santa Cruz. I've looked for
her there without luck. She would likely be listed as Emilia Candida
with a suffix like " de jesus , or de Conceicao," etc.

In looking for Joseph, the closest surname in Flores is Brito. I've
only found in so far in Santa Cruz on a marriage record from 1767,
where Caetano Gomes de Brito and Anna de Freitas de Heira are shown
as grandparents on a marriage record.

You could try combing through the CCA site baptisms for Santa Cruz
looking for Emilia Candida around 1844.
