John F. CARDOSO was born December 14, 1904, in Horta, Faial.
On March 20, 1936, he married ELISA LOPES at St. Josephs Church, Lincoln, California. Elisa was born March 3, 1912, in Caveira, Flores, the daughter of Joaquim Pedro Lopes (born March 15, 1875) and Maria Joaquina de Sousa (born July 12, 1889), who married in Caveira in October 1910. The other children: Laura, Louie, Gerald, and Jaime. All but Gerald were born in Flores; Gerald in Placer County.
Elisas father worked a year or two on a fruit ranch upon arriving in Newcastle from Flores in 1921, and then moved to Tracy and milked cows. He bought a dairy there, but lost it during the Depression. He had sent for his family soon after he arrived, but due to immigration quotas they were unable to come to the U.S. until 1932. Elisa and the rest of the family arrived aboard the ship Sinaii in Providence, R.I., on May 25, and then joined her father in Tracy, staying there just four months until moving to a rented fruit ranch in the Mt. Pleasant area of Placer County. After four years, Joaquim Lopes bought a fruit ranch in Loomis, which he farmed until he retired, moving to town about 1948 after selling the ranch to his son Louis. He died in Roseville November 16, 1968. His wife, Maria, died April 30, 1979.
Elisa spoke Portuguese at home because her mother did, even after 40 years. Elisa's siblings went to school in Lincoln but Elisa was older and taught herself.
John and Elisa Cardoso had three children: (names taken out for privacy). John was a fruit farmer, working for others at first and then buying his own fruit ranch in October 1941 on Taylor Road in Loomis. He died April 2, 1953.
The long-widowed Elisa raised her three children alone. She rented out her fruit ranch until 1959, then sold it and moved to Loomis.
