Renas Family History, Pictures, and Documents

The Ramos' came from Santa Cruz on the island of Flores in the Azores Islands. Jose and Maria came to California about 1875. We have information on their ancestors on Flores from the very good church records transliterated by Francisco Gomes and images from the Portuguese government on-line, but the very flexible Portuguese surname conventions can be rather confusing. Their children used the surname Renas.
