Life in the order the records give it

Birth1840
Born February 1840, Portugal
the 1900 census gives Feb 1840, age 60 S55, and the 1910 census age 62 S201 Confirmed. The 1920 census gives his son's father's birthplace as the Azores S314; the island is not recorded. The earlier "c.1864" on this page was our own misreading of the 1900 sheet.
Arrival1870
Immigrated 1870 S55
Death1910
Died between April 1910 and January 1920: alive in the 1910 census S201, absent in January 1920, when Louise is head of the household S314. The date "1932" came from a user tree and has been withdrawn: no Alameda Antone Rose/Rosa death appears in the California Death Index for 1932. A FamilySearch tree gives 1911, which no record read so far confirms.
Residence
Portuguese immigrant in the same township as the Silva family
both of Aileane's parental lines landed in the same few square miles of Alameda County S55

Family parents, marriages, children, siblings

Children1888
Son: Joseph Rose (b. Oct 1888, California) Confirmed S55
Children1900
Father of Mildred A. Rose (Aileane's mother)
listed as Head of household at Washington Township, Alameda County in 1900, with Mildred as Daughter, a twin with her brother Edward S55
Marriage1879
Married Louise da G. de Mendonça Probable confirm or correct → in 1879
the Alameda County marriage index dates it 3 Jan 1879 S315 (a FamilySearch tree gives 26 Jan; the ceremony date is unconfirmed), and the 1900 census says married 21 years S55

  1. S55US Census, 1900 — Washington Township, ED 405, Alameda County; household 24, sheet 1B line 93. FamilySearch ark:/61903/1:1:M9PW-6X9. Antone Rose, Head, born February 1840, Portugal, arrival 1870, married 21 years, his own parents both Portugal-born; Louise Rose, Wife, age 44, Portugal (her birth-year column reads 1865, contradicting her own age); Mildred Rose, Daughter, born July 1898, California. The same township as the Silvas, one enumeration district over. ⚠️ These records say "Portugal," not "Azores," and this page does not upgrade them to match the Silvas. "Rose" is the standard Anglicisation of Portuguese Rosa / Roza. 🔑 SUPPLEMENT, 22 September 2026 — the same page re-served (rid 36140745) and read at full resolution. The children are named: Rose (Nov 1879, already married), Louise (June 1885), Antone (June 1887), Joseph (Oct 1888), Frank (May 1891), Edward and Mildred (July 1898), bracketed as twins, and Helen (Oct 1899). ⚠ The mother's age column (44) and birth-year column disagree; the age governs, agreeing with S201, so she was born c.1855–56.
  2. S2011910 U.S. Federal Census — Antone Rose household, Washington Township, Alameda County, California. Ancestry record 938582; ED 157, sheet 4A. Read from the image at full resolution, 22 September 2026. Antone, 62, and Louisa J., 54, immigrated 1880, own the farm free; Antone Jr, Joe and Frank next door. ⚠ Louisa J.'s 54 and the 1900 sheet's age 44 both disagree with the 1865 birth year read from S55; with the 1900 age of 44 they place her birth c.1855–56, and the page now says so. Where Edward, Mildred and Helen are entered in 1910 is also under review.
  3. S3141920 U.S. Federal Census — Louisa A. Rose household, Washington Township, Alameda County, California. Roll T625_92, ED 212, page 5A; Ancestry collection 6061, record 3288770. Read from the index, 23 September 2026; the image has not yet been read. Louisa A. Rose, Head; Edward Rose, son, 21; Antone Rose, son, 33, widowed; Helen Farrel, daughter, 20, and Wm Farrel, son-in-law, 20. Parents' birthplace Azores. Antone Sr is absent, so he died between April 1910 and January 1920. Louisa is indexed at age 80, against 44 in 1900 and 54 in 1910; read the image before using that age.
  4. S315Alameda County, California, Index to Marriage Certificates No. 2 — “R” page. Ancestry record 31576, on disk. “Rosa, A. da × L. da G. de Mendonca, Jany 3 79”, Book F[?] p. 225. An index, initials only; the certificate in Book F p. 225 would give her full name. A FamilySearch tree's “Louisa Dagloria Dutra de Mendonça” and 26 Jan 1879 are not supported by this entry beyond “da G.”; “Dutra” is unsupported.

Compiled for the Proeger family

Living adults appear by name and relationship, with the year only: no full date of birth and no home town on any page that search engines index, and a living person’s own page is kept out of search engines. Minors appear by name only — no date of birth, no birth year, no age, no school, no place, no address, no other identifying detail. A minor may be named and may appear in a family photograph; nothing further about them is published. Where it is not established whether someone is an adult or a minor, the minor rule applies.
