Tom Hanks, Portuguese ancestry

[A Faria]

Hi,

I'm looking for more specific information on Tom Hanks Portuguese ancestry.

Does anyone have more information than this link? His mother's surname on the Frager  originally Fraga but on her mothers side they were Rose(Rosa?)

Antonio, 

His Frager family, originally Gonsalves Fraga comes from Ponta Delgada, Flores. 

The immigrant ancestor, Francisco Gonsalves Fraga. B 1848 arrived in California

 in 1864. He was married in San Leandro in 1869 to Barbara Enos, also of Flores

Francisco and his sons were cattle ranchers in the Sunol area before moving to 

Pleasanton. Tom would be fourth generation in California
