Hello Will.You say that your wife's ancertor Dionesia (Rose) de Jesus Sivia was born in 1872 in Cape Verde, Madeira, Azores, Portugal.As a way of trying to help you Cape Verde, Madeira and Azores are three distinct groups of islands many miles apart but all in the Atlantic Ocean.I would guess that she most probably was born in the Cape Verde archipelago which is a group of ten islands, I think named: Santo Antão, São Vicente, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, Sal, Boa Vista; Maio, Santiago, Fogo, Brava.If she was from Funchal, Madeira, the Madeira archipelago is composed manly of two islands: Madeira, Porto Santo and a number of small islands, some of them unhabitable.The Azores are a group of nine islands located northwest of the last two, in the middle of the Atlantic.Hope that is of help.Hermano From: w...@americanfamilyfundinggroup.com To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores -Genealogy Silvia from Madeira Island Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:02:44 -0700
Hi, I am new to the group and I am working on my wife's side of our family tree. The ancestor I am working on currently is Dionesia (Rose) Jesus Silvia--born 1872 in Cape Verde-Madeira (Azores) Portugal. Arrived in Boston March 29, 1910. She had 4 boys Manuel, Agostinho (August) my wife's grandfather, Domingo, and Afred. She died December 12, 1949 (I think--haven't verified yet). If this is correct then her parents were Antono Dutra and Anna Clara and came from city of Funchal on Madeira Island. I am not sure of her husband but he died before she came to America. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
