I went searching for an ancestor ...
I cannot find him still,

And did not leave a will.

He married where a courthouse burned,
He mended all his fences;
He avoided any man
Who came to take the U.S. Census.

He always kept his luggage packed,
This man who had no fame;
And every 20 years or so,
This rascal changed his name.

His parents came from Europe ...
They should be upon some list
Of passengers to U.S.A.,
But somehow they got missed.

And no one else in this world
Is searching for this man;
So, I play geneasolitaire
To find him if I can.

I'm told he's buried in a plot,
With tombstone he was blessed;
But the weather took engraving,
And some vandals took the rest.

He died before the county clerks
Decided to keep records;
No Family Bible has emerged,
In spite of all my efforts.

To top it off this ancestor,
Who caused me many groans,
Just to give me one more pain,
Betrothed a girl named

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family History Expo

[Jacki G.]

I most likely will not make it to the restaurant, but I will definitely be
at the expo. I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can. So
far, I've only met Celeste. She was kind enough to help me find my great
grandparent's graves in Hayward and serve my mother and I a very nice
portuguese lunch. 
 
I think I will probably make my own name tag that identifies me as a member
of the "Azores Google Group" with a Portuguse flag on it. So if any of you
spot a middle aged blond women sporting a name tag with green and red on it,
it's probably me. So please, introduce yourself.
 
Did any of you receive anything from the expo like a ticket or something to
get in? I didn't so I'm hoping that's because we just sign in at the door. I
have my email confirmation from when I registered.

Castro Village (a shopping center). The restaurant is on the right,
immediately past Walgreen's Drug Store.
If you are coming from the west (San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, etc.),
take Hwy 580 east, toward Hayward. Take the Strobridge exit and turn left at
the light (go under the freeway) and turn right on Castro Valley Blvd.
Continue east on Castro Valley Blvd. to 3360 Castro Valley Blvd., on the

[AZORES-Genealogy] Bermudian Portuguese, furtadi, parents of august furtadi & angelina furtadi born massasz, bbr#323,851 and 1st Pimental birth 1905

[Tish M]

Hi,
I sent my cousin an email to show her all of her work was not in vain, and
that indeed it is being used by people to trace their ancestors.
This is the message I received, and I thought I would share with you.  She
wrote the book, Portuguese Bermudians. She has just finished
more records that should be available through the Bermuda registry as she
just got back from there. So for you in Bermuda, you might
want to check out her latest stuff.

Tish

 Hi Tish,

My goodness, this was a surprisejust to know that people are interested
is so wonderful

I immediately looked up the information that I had here, and yes, I found
four of the names:

FURTADI, FEMALE - NOVEMBER 18,1906, SANDY'S PARISH, PARENTS AUGUST FURTADI &
ANGELINA FURTADI BORN MASSASZ, BBR#323,851

 FURTOS, MARY D'ESTRALEA, NOVEMBER 15, 1907, ST. EDWARD'S CHURCH, PEMBROKE
PARISH, PARENTS AUGUSTUS FURTOS & ANGELINA MESRCIES, #SERCC

FATADO, MALE, DECEMBER 19, 1907, SOUTHAMPTON, PARENTS AUGUST FATADO &
ANGELINA FATADO BORN MADEIROS, BBR#24,658

FATADO, MARY DESTAR, JULY 11, 1909, SOUTHAMPTON, PARENTS AUGUST FATADO &
ANGELINA FATADO BORN MADEIRA, BBR#25,737

Please note that the Church entry does not match the Registry entry...Also,
prior to 1866, Christian names were not required to be registered

As you can see, the language was quite a hardship...the spelling kept
changingI did not find them with the Pimental spelling...the first
Pimental birth was in 1905...Manuel Pimento and  Josephine Pimento born
Marshall...

Hope you both are wellthanks for sending me this nice e-mail.Love,
Pat

Hello Helen,

Thank you very much for your offer.  It's much appreciated.  This line is one 
that I haven't had much success with.  I emailed a potential relative on 
Ancestry.com back in Oct. 2009 and just received a reply that she is a 
relative.  Also, found out that Margaret would go by her nickname "Minnie", 
which is why I had troubles finding any information on her.  Once I added 
Minnie to my data base and her 1st husbands name of Dutra I was then able to 
find the children though under the birth index of Dutro but at least it was 
there.  

Thank you again,
Robin Borba Besotes

  I live in Sunnyvale.  Yesterday afternoon I called the Sunnyvale Library and 
spoke with the research librarian to see how far back they kept copies of the 
Sunnyvale Standard (newspaper) and was told they have original copies going 
back to 1913.  

  I was going to wait a few days to see if you came up with a date of death for 
Lawrence and Lucile before emailing you.  THANKS to Pam you now have the 
6-4-1914 date.

  Within the coming week I will go to the library and see if I can obtain 
additional information for you.  I will email you with what I discover and ways 
for you to obtain the information if there is an article in the Sunnyvale 
Standard about the deaths.

  Pam,

  Hi Robin,


  I volunteer at the Santa Clara County Archives.  We just indexed the Coroners 
Inquests for that time period and put it online.  Your Lawrence and Lucille 
appear on the index.  They died on 14 June 1914.  They lived on Mary St in 
Sunnyvale.  Here is the link:


  
http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/rec/agencyarticle?path=%2Fv7%2FCounty%20Clerk-Recorder%20%28DEP%29/County%20Archives%2FCounty%20Coroner%20Inquests%20Collection&contentId=db7dea9f99496210VgnVCM1048dc4a92


  If you call the Archives at 408 792-1895, they will make a copy of the actual 
inquest record that gives the full details.  There is a cost but I don't know 
what it is.  There are two separate records, one for Lawrence and one for 
Lucille.  


  If the cost is too much, let me know and I will take a photo of the two.

spoke with the research librarian to see how far back they kept copies of the 
Sunnyvale Standard (newspaper) and was told they have original copies going 
back 
to 1913.  


I was going to wait a few days to see if you came up with a date of death for 
Lawrence and Lucile before emailing you.  THANKS to Pam you now have the 
6-4-1914 date.

Within the coming week I will go to the library and see if I can obtain 
additional information for you.  I will email you with what I discover and ways 
for you to obtain the information if there is an article in the Sunnyvale 
Standard about the deaths.

Pam,

Excellent link that you provided.  Thanks muchly.

Hi Robin, 

I volunteer at the Santa Clara County Archives.  We just indexed the Coroners 
Inquests for that time period and put it online.  Your Lawrence and Lucille 
appear on the index.  They died on 14 June 1914.  They lived on Mary St in 
Sunnyvale.  Here is the link:

http://www.sccgov.org/portal/site/rec/agencyarticle?path=%2Fv7%2FCounty%20Clerk-Recorder%20%28DEP%29/County%20Archives%2FCounty%20Coroner%20Inquests%20Collection&contentId=db7dea9f99496210VgnVCM1048dc4a92


If you call the Archives at 408 792-1895, they will make a copy of the actual 
inquest record that gives the full details.  There is a cost but I don't know 
what it is.  There are two separate records, one for Lawrence and one for 
Lucille.  

If the cost is too much, let me know and I will take a photo of the two.

Pam

Any idea on how I can obtain an obituary or article regarding a  
home furnace explosion where two children passed away somewhere  
between 1910 and 1915 in Santa Clara County (town of Sunnyvale)?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Margaret Borba - Santa Clara County, CA

[Besotes]

Hello Elaine and Eric,

I've found a little resource and would like to pass it along.  Haven't found 
any information yet on my quest for Margaret Borba Dutra Reynolds nor her 
children.  

Elaine I took your advice and phoned the Santa Clara County Library.  They have 
the San Jose Mercury News back to the 1980's to present.  They suggested I 
phone the San Jose library where they were very helpful.  The do have the 
records on microfilm back to the late 1800's.  They offer inter library loan 
which I may have sent to my local library or possibly see if the Sacramento 
State Library might have them on film.  

http://www.sjlibrary.org/research/special/ca/

Here's an online digital collection database from the California Room of the 
San Jose library.  They have old online collections at 

http://digitalcollections.sjlibrary.org/cdm4/aboutcollection.php?CISOROOT=/arbuckle
  where you'll find this link via the link above.  Take a look at the right 
hand side of the page where it says FEATURED COLLECTIONS.  Under this section 
you'll see San Jose City Directories.  Very nice scanned copies of old 1800's 
and early 1900 directories.

One of the directories indicated there were newspapers at the time period I'm 
seeking called:

San Jose Post, Mercury Herald, Evening News, The Union, Santa Clara Journal and 
the Santa Clara News.  My last trip to the State library in Sacramento reminded 
me of the importance of know all the newspapers for a particular area you're 
researching.  When I did this on another project it really helped to know what 
films to pull and search.  Hope this helps another.

and about those who want to meet for dinner Thursday evening. Stay tuned.  
There are a few of us going to the conference.


I don't know if you already posted what you are looking for about  
Ermilinda, if not, post it and maybe some of us try and help you.

I found this in my old mail and was wondering (besides Jacki) how more ppl
in this group will be attending this? If I can pull it off with such
lateness...I hope to go. Have some fau family members that live near by the
fairgrounds ~ just have to check into the cost to fly there! If anything it
puts me close to the ARCHIVES in the area where my grandmother lived!!
(Ermelinda my mystery women) She truly exsisted in that area, lived in many
of the towns ~ but for the life of me can not find her on any type of
census, directory or anything else!!

 

To those that are attended best of luck with your search

Pam,

Great site! Listers, if any of your ancestors naturalized in Santa Clara  
County, click on their naturalization index - I put in the name Silva and  
50 names came up. Great resource to add to your Favorites! Keep up the good  
work!
