Was cool to see this again. You mention my great grandmother’s house, Mary Fernandes at 500 S Street. Her daughter, my grandmother just reached 100 years old last March.

Enjoyed the video; the only ‘bad’ thing was the spelling of Cape Verdean last names, which are Portuguese; unfortunately, in California, 99% of Californians cannot spell Portuguese names.

Northeastern Brazilians look like them (Cape Verdeans) than Southern Brazilian (Mostly Germans, Italians, Poles, Ukrainians connected to the Vatican cultures of Catholics) because they are Pardo/Mulattos
