Would you happen to know which villages in Pico and Faial they were from? Shirley ----- Original Message ----- From: Cheri Mello To: Azores Genealogy Sent: Monday, November 10, 2008 9:29 AM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Roderick/Rodrigues & Goularte from Pico and Faial
Repost for George Sullivan: <<My name is George Sullivan and I joined this website a few days ago and don't quite know what to do with it. I am working on family history and my mother's maternal parents were from the Azore Islands (Pico and Faial). I would like to try to go back a generation or two and once I have more information, I would like to go to the Azores and see what traces of family (if any) are still there. My great-grandparents were Albert Roderick (probably Rodriguez originally) and Marion Goularte and they emigrated to Provincetown, Ma. in the early 1880's. Can you perhaps give me a suggestion or two as to how to use this websit to help me in my research? I would be very grateful for any help you can give. Thank you, George>> Hi George, I'll take over here.... You see I started your posting over again in its own thread. Not everyone reads every message. Some follow only certain threads or topics. I titled yours with your surnames and islands. Those researching those surnames and islands will see your message now and if they are those who don't read each and every message, they will be sure to take a look at yours. Susan was responding to the topic about DNA and you responded to that. We don't want your message buried in a topic/thread/discussion about DNA. So when you don't have anything to say about the current topic/thread/discussion, DON'T hit reply. Start a new email and address it to Azores at googlegroups dot com. In genealogy, it is best to list names, dates, and places (as much as you know) to see if anyone else has them in their database. Overall, it seems most people go back about 200 years before connecting on the list though. Hope this helps!
