This is a good lesson for me. I want to thank all of you for sharing your knowledge. I am a newbie at this. I will wait tor S. Sebastio in Ponta Delgada, S. Miguel baptism records to posted. In the meantime I will do the mt dna test. I have info on all of her children and grandchildren. I have pictures of her and her husband. I visit her at Holy Sepulchre she has brought two sides of the family that did not even know each other together. I feel fortunate to belong to this group and am thankful to all of you for your willingness to share. I could not have gotten as far as I have without your help.
From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Cheri Mello Sent: Friday, October 25, 2013 9:44 AM To: Azores Genealogy Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] In parts of my family, if your cousins were old enough to be your aunt and uncle, you called them aunt and uncle. So this "aunt" may be a title only as Eileen stated. Linda J needs to find the baptism of Leonor in Sao Sebastiao in Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel island. Not just any Leonor on any island that kind of seems to fit. Maybe then the "aunt" story will make sense. Then again, maybe not. But since her paper trail has so far pointed to S.Sebastiao in Ponta Delgada on S.Miguel island, she needs to look there. If I were researching George Washington, who was born in Virginia, I wouldn't go looking for him in Massachusetts. Sure, I'd probably find one, but it's not good genealogy practice to go jumping states when everything points to Virginia.
