Notes:
                   Theodore Fideroa changed his name to Fidero when he was married
in December 1900.  Ivy Fidero Laughter says the name Fideroa
was pronounced Fi-der'-o-a, and the final "a" was dropped.  But
Edna Fidero Michaels, Virginia (Figueroa) and others pronounced
it Fi-ther-o'-a.
Ivy was told that Fideroa (as opposed to Figueroa) was a name used
in the Basque region of northern Spain.  They had always heard that
Casildo Fideroa was Castilian Spanish; Castile is a province in
the north of Spain.
Theodore's given name in Spanish was Teodoro Jose Fideroa.

Notes:
                   August Fidero went by the name of August Fedora.
He explained the name change as follows:  "Name was changed to
Fedora in late teens due to numerous errors on part of employers
in making out paychecks.  Employers kept using name of Fedora,
even after I tried to correct them.  I signed this name for years
in order to cash my paychecks.  It became a habit with me.  Since
my father was uneducated and not sure of the correct spelling of
his name, I believed my spelling was just as correct as any others.
Cousins spell their name Figueroa."  (Reference: Family Group
Sheet returned by Gus Fedora to Barbara Teemsma.)

He worked as an operating engineer, excavation and grading work
for Silva & Hill Construction Co., for 18 years.  The Fedoras
lived at 185 S. Virginia Ave. in Pasadena for the 31 years
before his death.  He is buried in Rose Hills Memorial Park,
Pasadena.  (Reference: Death certificate).
