Son of Daniel Inacio and Maria das Neves. He married Mary Jacinto Lopes Azevedo with whom he had the following children: Mary Furtado (1897 - 1948), Rosa Valine (1899 - 1972), Daniel, Jr. (1904 - 1918), Jessie Fernandes (1906 - 1996), Eva Silva (b. 1909), Joseph (1911 - 1994), and Alfred (1916 - 1964).

Daniel Ignacio Neves set sail for the U.S. in 1890, settling first in Oroville where some of his friends were, and worked as a farmhand for two years. Shortly after obtaining his American citizenship he returned to the Azores on a sailing ship that took three weeks to make the trip. After marrying Maria J. Azevedo there he decided to remain in the Azores for an extended visit, during which time two daughters were born, Mary and Rose. He then returned to the U.S. to earn enough money to send for his family. His brother John was co-owner of the Elk Grove Winery, so he had employment there until his finances allowed him to go get his family. Maria again became pregnant, so they waited until after the birth of Daniel Jr. When the baby was four months old they set sail for the U.S. and to make a home in Sacramento where they lived the rest of their lives, and more children were born. Daniel Neves worked as a shingler for builders Dan Tatti and Charles Vanina. Dan Jr. died during the flu epidemic of 1918. Of the other children, daughter Mary married Mike Furtado, and were parents of Ralph Furtado, and Helen, who married Louis Brusato; Alfred married Doris Keene; Jesse married Frank Fernandes; Rose married Manuel Valine; Eva married Albert Silva; and Joseph married Loretta Jacinto.
