Hello Cheri, I am researching my father's side of the family. His name was Mauricio Rodrigues Henriques. He was actually born in Rhode Island in 1931 (Maurice Rogers Henriques on birth certificate) but grew up from the age of 2 to 17 in the freguesia of Mosteiro (Mosteiros). His father, José Rodrigues Henriques, was also from Mosteiro as was his mother, Maria Jesus Mancebo born in 1885. Her father, José Rodrigues Mancebo was also from Mosteiro. The wedding and baptismal records that I've reviewed (from Centro de Conhecimento dos Açores) to get this information was helpful but hard to read due to the handwriting. I have not yet tracked down the information on my grandfather from Centro de Conhecimento dos Açores.
You mentioned in your last message (below) that some list members, who are Flores researchers, have a Flores marriage book. I would like to get in touch with these individuals, or any researchers for Flores, and obtain information from any resources available. Anyone that would like to contact me directly at my personal e-mail can do so at [email protected] Any other resources for Flores that you or anyone else can provide to me would be very much appreciated. Obrigado, James Henriques ________________________________ From: Cheri Mello <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, April 1, 2010 2:34:42 PM Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Angel Island, Calif Marek, It's kind of hard without a date or name for your ancestor. If you could provide the name and date (you've probably posted it before at some point in time), maybe Elaine can do a look up (she has Ancestry World and I don't - I'm sure others have it too; Elaine comes to mind). If you can give the name and the time period, she might try "Brio" under "Baroa," "Beiro," "Breu," or "Birao." I got Ancestry to give me soundex names and those came up. I think they might be some pretty good butcherizations of Portuguese names. There are list members who are Flores researchers who have the Flores marriage book. If some has looked up your ancestor and hasn't found him, provide the names and approximate dates of his siblings, as one of them may turn up in the book. |Sometimes you have to chase the spouse or siblings to find the info on your ancestry.
