Hi Rosemarie, I know exactly what you mean with the frustration regarding good paper trails and can't find the connection! Especially frustrating on the 2nd to 3rd cousin ones! I see clues in the gedcoms but nothing definitive....in truth I think it's right in front of my eyes but I just don't know it due to our ancestral habit of adopting whatever name they may fancy at the time. I never knew my ggrandfather, Manuel Furtado Cardoso used any other name until looking at the baptisms of his children on CCA and discovering that on one of them he used his fathers name of Silva.....which 2 of his brothers used in the states although he never did. So many of my matches list surnames that match mine....especially Cardoso, Silva, Gracia, Andrade, Castro and on and on......I see the Veira name which is one of the names my brick wall grandfather, Jose Enos used....along with 3 other surnames he used! My biggest regret with this DNA stuff is that I tested my own MTDNA instead of my mothers......at the time I tested there wasn't any Family Finder and I never thought I'd need moms......alas, now it's too late and I can see it would have been a wealth of knowledge......it also would have proven or disproven what I've come to suspect, that my mom and dad may have been distant cousins without knowing it! There are so many shades of grey that would be cleared up by that....at least I think they would. If they only had NO interisland connection I could eliminate better...but all of mom's people were from Sao Jorge EXCEPT her paternal grandmother who was from Pico and we think was a Gracia.....so that gives her a potential Pico connection....all of dads people were from Pico and Santa Maria EXCEPT his paternal grandfather who was from Sao Jorge! Oh dear....... Well, I'll never suffer from boredom since they'll always be another mystery to search. Also, I see you are the contact for Kenneth Silva who shows up as 4th-remote on my Uncle John Baptiste.....but not on me.....yet you show up on me as 5th -remote but not to Uncle John..... Best to you my cousin! Nancy Jean From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with Rosais, Sao Jorge Baptism Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2014 08:25:36 -0700
Nancy Jean, I connect to Buzzie and Dennis Wilbert Silva too. So, this would mean that we are 'in common with' each other and Fawn. If we could just figure this out, so frustrating to have a large paper trail and still not connect!

Both myself and my Uncle John Cardoza Baptiste match Buzzie Mendonca.....he shows as 4th -remote match to me and 5th-remote to my uncle.....I would have thought it would be just the opposite since Uncle John's a generation earlier. I noticed you are the contact for Dennis Wilbert Silva who is a 4th-remote match to me but not to my uncle.

My father had a stroke & I am in CA caring for him & my mother & I failed to thank you for your help and ideas. Mary & Nancy, my husband's uncle also had his DNA done for us & is on the site as Buzzie Mendonca. My husband has a number of family lines that link to Rosais and then the one to Norte Grande. Thanks again, Fawn Silva St. Louis, MO On Thu, Mar 20, 2014 at 7:11 PM, nancy jean baptiste <[email protected]> wrote: I'm also watching this thread with interest since I have connections to Rosais and Norte Grande. These witness names are similar to my names. I haven't noticed a FF match though to others from here for me or my uncle, John Baptiste.....except to Rosemarie as a 5th to remote. Nancy Jean Date: Thu, 20 Mar 2014 14:45:17 -0700 Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with Rosais, Sao Jorge Baptism From: [email protected] To: [email protected] It looks to me like the priest (Paulo Silveira Bettencourt) baptized the child because they thought he might die. Witnesses were (my guess) Jose de Souza Silveira Bettencourt and Joao Jose de Bettencourt. I am interested since I have connections to Rosais and Norte Grande, plus a DNA match (5th to remote cousin) between myself and your husband. But I don't see an immediate connection to these people. :) Mary On Thursday, March 20, 2014, Fawn Silva <[email protected]> wrote: Sorry.

It is for Antonio, son of Joao Jacinto de Sigueira, native of Rosais & Barbara Joaquina Rosa, native of Norte Grande, born on the 25th of May 1834 & I think baptized on the 29th in the home. I don't know what the rest says & google translate is absolutely no help on this one. I see witnesses but no padrinhos. Did this child die? I checked the obitos & could not find him. Why was he baptized in the home? The baptism is on the top left of the pg. Help! Please.
