Patricia S, Barnes is not a Portuguese surname. Maybe someone here might know what it was Anglicized from.
Even if you figure that out though, you need to do more research in the country to which they immigrated. Graciosa has only 4 freguesias (villages), but I can guarantee you that a Jose can be found in each one whose parents were Jose and Maria. You're not entirely sure on the parents either, so you need to do more research. The same goes for your Rosa born on Pico. You are not sure if her parents are Antonio and Maria or not. I'm sure you can find a Roza born in each freguesia and several will have parents of Antonio and Maria. Here's a "how to" on the Azores GenWeb that lists many sources to try to narrow down the place and parents names' to get you started: https://goo.gl/xYgVpZ Good Luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Thu, Nov 3, 2016 at 1:00 PM, Owner <[email protected]> wrote: > hi I am looking for the families of Joseph frances Barnes b 1828 in > Grociosia Azores > His father I think is Joseph and mother Mary Joseph I don’t know where > on the island, the town? or parish? if someone can help me find how to get > births/ marriages/ deaths I would be grateful. > > also looking for Rosa Margaret George b 1856 in Pico Azores of probably > Antone George and?
