Hi Anthony, Thanks for the details. It provides a much better context.
Log into your FTDNA account and changed your settings to at least Limited for me and Rick Pimentel. If you want to give us Advanced, that's fine too (we email you before doing any of the extra Advanced stuff). There's a gap in the Azorean Passportes (emigration records) for 1921. You will have to search on Ancestry.com (with various spellings) to see if you can find your Jose inbound around Feb. 1921. Since you have more on Rosa, go with her. You have her name, birth date, and place. Go to Tombo.pt. Click the British flag in the upper right if you need to navigate in English. In the search column (it's for the freguesia), type in Achadinha: [image: image.png] Go to the Baptisms, pick the book that contains 1899 and pick the middle image working your way back in time. You won't need to go far before you find your answer. The information that you will find will also lead you to their marriage in America. I'll let you have the fun of discovering that and writing back to us. Happy hunting, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Sun, Apr 7, 2019 at 9:08 AM AJ Moniz <[email protected]> wrote: > Good morning , > > Here are further details of my Grandparents background , > Still trying to find their marriage records , ie place of marriage , > pictures ? > etc and their travel documents to/from the USA and Sao Miguel , Azores ( > Both in and Out ), > essentially any data that is available from the web archives on them and > immediate family in the USA . > I understand that my Grandmother & Grandfather had family in the USA that > stayed there to raise their families ( my cousins ) > > Here is what I have found so far : > > *Grandfather* : Jose' Moniz Furnas > Born in 1902 Sao Miguel, Azores exact location ? > Emmigrated to Somerset, Bristol , Mass , USA in Feb 28 1921 ( via SS > Cretic ) to meet family (cousins ?) , > Married Sept,29, 1923 to Rosa Moniz Furtado ( Rosa Furtado Moniz ?) > returned to Sao Bras, Sao Miguel with spouse on ? > Started family ,7 children were born during the years of 1925 to 1938. > Died on March,21,1951 at the age of 49 in the village of Sao Bras,( Porto > Formoso) , Sao Miguel , Azores , Portugal > > *Grandmother* : Rosa Moniz Furtado , ( AKA Rosa Furtado Moniz ?) > Born in May, 3,1899 , > Born in Achadinha , Nordeste ,Sao Miguel, Azores > Emmigrated with her Parents on ? via steamship S/S ? to Somerset , > Bristol, Mass, USA > Met my future Grandfather Jose' in Somerset , Bristol, Mass USA after > 1921 and > Married on Sept .29, 1923 > Both travelled back to Sao Bras ,Ribeira Grande, Sao Miguel Azores on > ? > Started family in Sao Bras , ( Porto Formoso) ,Sao Miguel, Azores from > 1925 onwards > > Summary of : > *Parents :* > Jose Moniz Furnas , born on > Rosa Moniz Furtado (Rosa Furtado Moniz) , Born on May 3, 1899, passed away > March ,31, 1988 > *Children :* > Olivia Furtado Moniz , Born Sept 25,1925 Died on > Nov, 28,2008 > Ernesto Furtado Moniz Born Feb ,7, 1927, Died on > Nov ,8,2012 > Manuel Furtado Moniz , Born on ?
