Steve Perry Lead Vocalist of Journey

[A Faria]

I knew someone that used to babysit Steve Perry and I met his aunt and grandmother someone told me he had ancestry from Pico and Terceira but I'm not sure about that perhaps someone knows.

Steve Perry's mother is from Pico.  She is a cousin of my paternal grandfather who is from Lajes do Pico.  My aunt knew his mother and father and stepfather but she is not sure exactly what the degree of cousinship is and I don't have enough info to find the link.  I do have his grandparents names somewhere but that is as far as I got.

If his grandparents were born in the Azores and you have their information especially the one's from Pico I will look. I have always thought he was from there I have seen him several times.

I will need to find that info.  I looked into it a while ago so not sure where it is.  Will let you know when I find it.  I believe his mother was also born there but came over very young.  Will have to see what I have.  Judy

Attached is what I have on his grandparents and mother.  Since I know his mother is related, I assume at least one of her parents must be from Pico since all my grandfather’s family has been there a long time in Lajes.

Steve's mother's family is from Prainha, Pico. His maternal grandparents , Manuel Silveira Quaresma and Maria de Conceicao Cardoso also lived in Hanford.

His father Raymond Perry  ( Frank Ray Perry) was also a singer and radio station operator in Hanford. He was born in Massachusetts in 1919 to Frank Perry and Lena S.

 Grandparents were John and Georgiana Perry who were already married when they arrived in Massachucetts in 1890 according to the 1900 census. I do not know which island

John and Georgiana Perry, Frank and Lena Perry all lived in the Hanford area by 1930.
