Sam, the monies would have been paid to whoever he named as the beneficiary on the policy. What that person would have to show as ‘proof’, who knows. It is not stated on the death claim registers. I do know that many of the single men named their parents or just Mom as the beneficiary and that they lived in the Old Country. When they got married they then changed the beneficiary to their new wife and then later if the wife died they changed it to their children if they had any. How the UPEC paid the people in the Azores is a mystery to me because most of the time there is just a name listed with Sao Jorge or Flores etc.!
Rosemarie From: aportugee via Azores Genealogy Sent: Friday, August 08, 2014 7:33 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC Records I just found the record for my grandfather, who I never met and was told died on a return trip to “the old country”. If he indeed did die in the Azores, would a UPEC policy have paid my grandmother in California? If so, what proof would she have to have shown them and any idea how I could get that proof? He died in 1936 - 1938 time frame.
