RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Antonio da Rosa (Roza) Maciel (Marcial) baptized Nov 1860, S. Mattheus Magdalena, Pico

[pico]

Hello Anne,

I have researched this same person, Antonio da Rosa Maciel from Sao Mateus.

But the reason for my reply is in response to the chance this other Antone Rose from Pico is related.

There is certainly a chance, but you must also know that "da Rosa" is a very common and popular name on Pico. I have a whole lot of "da Rosa" ancestors from Pico. And it's found in every village on Pico, which implies that it's a very old name on the island. Some of my Rosa ancestors have been documented back to the early 1500s. Others get lost when you reach the late 1600s due to missing older records.

I just checked and found I have 129 men named Antonio da Rosa who were born on Pico in the 19th century.

That is pretty common, I think.

But if the one who might be your relative has left a paper trail, maybe I could help you find him and see if you are indeed related.

John, My grandfather's name is sometimes spelled Antonio da Rosa Maciel or Roza or Marcial.  He was baptised in Nov. 1860 at St.
Mattheus Church, Magdalena, Pico, Diocese of Agra.

 

He became a citizen of the US in 1885.

 

There was also a whaling master, Antone Rose, (1841-1923) who was born in Pico.  I feel there must be a familial connection there but can't prove it.

 

I'm a life member of the American-Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Society headquartered in New Bedford MA.
