RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for AMARANTE, MACHADO, AZEVEDO, BETTENCOURT, SILVEIRA, in Velas, S. Jorge

Rod,

Amarante is often associated with ladies using the "dona" title.

Look on the CCA website for the manuscript for Genealogias da ilha de S. Jorge and you will find other older generations of Amarante.

You still have at least 50-100 years of records you can search on your own and hopefully you can find a link to the original settlers before the records run out.

If it turns out along the way that you find a Pico or Terceira branch, I'd be interested.

I do a lot of research for other people and myself in the Sao Jorge records and I often find people from Pico/Terceira. With Pico being only across the channel, it is to be expected, of course.

Boa sorte,

Hi, I am tracing my ancestry, and I got somwhere near 1800s. 

The surnames are very common in Velas, and the title "Dona" for the laddies suggest they were somehow important, so maybe I can fit them into some existent geneology.

These are the names and aproximate dates:

D. Josefa Victoria de Azevedo Bettencourt de Amarante - born 3 Dec 1847; married. 22 Aug 1882 (yes, she married old...)

Her parents were:

     António de Azevedo Bettencourt de Amarante (born 18 Jan 1808, married 22 Aug 1842)

     D. Laureana Leocadia Bettencourt de Amarante (born 28 May 1811)

Her grandparents were:

     From her father side:

          João de Azevedo Machado Bettencourt (died before 1842)

          Isabel Vicencia da Silveira 

     From her mother side:

          João de Azevedo Bettencourt

          Josefa Rosa de Azevedo Bettencourt (died before 1842)

I would very much appreciate any help.

Cheers,

Rod
