John,
Maybe that George spelling isn't as unusual as I thought. (grin) One would suspect that your Georges' and mine connect somewhere but; I know not where as I have none of the people you mention below in my tree "at this point". I just got my Family Finder results back and am overwhelmed with the number of potential "cousins"! I've sent out a couple of emails but; as Al Rose and others have mentioned, it sure would be beneficial if everyone who is on FTDNA submitted their gedcom. Happy Ancestor Hunting to all, Sam in CA From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Vasconcelos Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 8:36 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Emailing: Birth Francisco.IMG As point of interest, I also have a George ancestor from Flores: Antonio George(my 3 GGF) married to Joanna de Freitas and parents of Isabel de Freitas Henriques. Since it's an end of line I don't know where they're from although there a lot of Georges in nossa Sra dos Remedios.

I'll try again. Francisco Joze da Silveira and his wife, Maria Joaquina de Trindade. His parents, Jose da Rosa Jorge and Maria de Jesus. Her parents: Antonio Lourenco Bispo and Maria Joaquina. The first couple's daughter Ana Emilia Silveira/Silva was born 31 Oct. 1854 in Costas, Lajedo, Flores. I have her baptism record. The interesting thing is that on her birth record her paternal grandfather's name is spelled George rather than Jorge. That seems very odd to me. I don't know where the parents or grandparents were born but; good chance in the same location.. The only clue as to when they were born is the child, Ana's birthdate. I can find information about this line online in other people's trees but; have yet to find the documentation to support the names and dates given in these online trees. Thanks much for your help and understanding of my earlier email with the wrong info., Sam in CA From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of eric edgar Sent: Wednesday, June 27, 2012 12:16 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Emailing: Birth Francisco.IMG Sam Can you give me a place on Flores for any of these people?

I could give you a whole line of people but; for starters, I have Manoel Jose Fraga born sometime in 1796, died 4 Dec 1836 married to Leandra Rosa b. 1785, died 10 Sep 1852. His parents: Antonio Teixeria Machado b.?, d.? and Maria Isabel Nascimento b.?, d.?. Leandra Rosa's parents: Joao Silveira D'Avila and Barbara Pereira Neta, b & d unknown. I have documentation proving the line up to their children, but; haven't found the documents to go further back yet. Finding and reading these old documents is such a tedious process, when it is even possible. Someday if you are really bored, I can send you a report showing the line several generation farther back..

I was away and missed your happy dance. I see you have Silva and Fraga from Flores. I have a thousand or more people in my Flores database from unraveling my families there. Got someone with a name and date I can look up? Eric E On Thu, Jun 21, 2012 at 10:08 AM, Sam Koester <[email protected]> wrote: Emil, Filomena do Ceu Faria was my grandmother! She is from the island of Faial. I guess that makes us cousins to some degree! Another cousin, Al Rose, and I have been searching for a number of years to locate which island the Fraga line and the Silva line, our ggrandparents, were from. Finally, just a few months ago we found out they were from the island of Flores. Happy Dance time!! I know the sight you mention in your email but; there is no documentation on it so, I hesitate to take it at face value. I know you have sent me a family report prior to this which I still have not fully gone through. Was the Fraga line shown in your report? Nice to know of a new cousin, Thanks for the info.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could take a look at this and translate the date of birth for me. I can translate the rest of it myself, including the baptism date but; the date of birth has me confused.
