Hi Anthony, I did not see a Jose Silva or Silveira on the Water Lily that went to Australia in 1853 (I think).
You'll have to use Australian sources to track him there, see if he naturalized, if his obituary said anything, etc. I'm sure those in Australia who have traced their Azorean ancestor may be able to help. You can use DNA in conjunction with the paper trail too. We've got over 2200-2300 people in the Azores DNA Project on Family Tree DNA. They are most likely going to have another sale beginning on Friday to kick off the holiday season. I'll post that announcement to the list on Friday. You'll want to test the oldest family member on that side. So if you have a parent or aunt/uncle, test them first. If there is no one living except you, then test yourself. I'll keep the list posted, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Mon, Nov 25, 2019 at 3:03 PM Anthony Silver <[email protected]> wrote: > well, the name of my grandfather, 5 or 6 generations ago, is Joseph > Silver, born somewhere in the azores, around 1836. > he that's about all I know. > he took a ship, and came to Australia, from 1850 something. > the info I have is quite limited. > > On Monday, November 25, 2019 at 12:14:33 PM UTC+11, Anthony Silver wrote: >> >> hello, i'm tracing ancestry, back to Portugal. >> >> the info I have of one particular person is quite limited. >> >> does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to where I can find info >> online ??? >> >> one resource I have looked at is marinersandships.com.au >> >> >> -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Azores Genealogy" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to [email protected]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/azores/e6c29dd0-091e-4768-8b26-4067acc550d7%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/azores/e6c29dd0-091e-4768-8b26-4067acc550d7%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
