RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Tavares of Agua de Pau

[Bruce A. Tavares]

Cheri,
 
How can I look up their marriage, [Jose Pedro Tavares and Elena Ignocencia do 
Coracao de Jesus] in the Centro de Conhecimento dos Acores? You said that you 
found the marriage. I'd love to be able to take a look at that. 
 
I'm gonna take your advice and look from 9 months on after the birth of my 
great grandfather. I'd love to find some info on his brother, Pedro Tavares, 
who according to Joao's obituary, lived in Bridgewater, Massachusetts. That's 
about a 30 minute ride from me. Most of my leads come from that obituary from 
1940. I assume that Joao and Pedro immigrated to Massachusetts together.
 
Thanks so much for your assistance.
 
Bruce Tavares

Btazz,

Ooo!  I forgot Sao Miguel is coming online.  Thanks for looking Marcio!

Btazz, I'll do this line by line for you.  Even though you had it translated, 
you'll have to learn how to do these.  
Keywords: Dates (numbers and months), names (they usually jump out at you) - 
the name of the baby, Joao is preceded by filho legitimato (a daughter is filha 
legitimata).  Just look for the longer slanted letters of f, l, h, l, g about a 
third of the way down.  You'll also learn to pick out the place because you are 
already holding that roll of film in your hand.  So the next baptism you find, 
post what you have picked out.  The more you "translate" the more you will be 
able to pick out.  They follow the same format in this time period.

Here's the word list: 
https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Portuguese_Genealogical_Word_List
The paleography (handwriting) is in the same article, scroll down (in 4 parts).

1) On the 30 day of the month of June of the year of
2) 1000 800 70 and 3 in this church Par-
3) ish of Nossa Senhora dos Anjos of Agua de Pau
4) Council of the vila of Lagoa, Diocese of Angra, I bap-
5) tized solemnly an individual of the sex 
6) masculine to whom I give the name of Joao, and that he was born (born is 
hyphenated here)
7) born in this Freguesia, at 3 hours of the afternoon, of the
8) day 12 of the current month and year, son legiti-
9) mate of Jose Pedro Tavares, worker, and of Ele-
10) na Ignocencia do Coracao de Jesus, of the occupation
11) domestic, natives, received (that means married), parishioners, and 
12) living on the Travessa do Valle verdo (that's the name of the street) of 
this
13) Freguesia, grandson paternal of Pedro Tavares and
14) Miguelina de Jesus, and maternal of Joao de Mel-
15) lo Bizarro and Thomazia da Encarnacao.  
16) For godfather the Reverend Luciano Fran-
17) cisco de Mederios, curator of this parish and god-
18) mother Maria da Estrella, single, seam-
19) stress, of whom all I know properly...
Btazz, this is where I stop translating.  I can only loosely translate the rest.
It says stuff like it was read back to them and they answered (confirmed) what 
was written, it was written in duplicate (one book you are reading the other 
went to the Vatican), if the godparents could read & write, etc.  Era ut supra 
is Latin for "It was as above" or something like that.  Then the priest and the 
witness sign.

Now there's 2 different ways you could proceed.  You could go over to the 
marriages (a different format) to build your pedigree from there.  However, 
since you are new to "translating," I would recommend that you go ahead in the 
film (online images) to March of 1874 in the baptisms (9 months after the birth 
of Joao).  Women are not likely to have have babies 9 months apart, but there 
is no other reference point to start without missing a baptism of a baby.  
You'll need the word list so you can recognize the dates.  

Note: Your Elena may also appear as Helena.

I'm not entirely sure (the images are incorrect online - says 1870, 1871, 1872, 
then back to 1871) but I think Joao was the first baby born to this couple.  I 
did find the marriage so I know which way to tell you to look for the other 
baptisms.  That's why I'm telling you to go forward to March 1874 and look for 
more babies born to this couple.

Good luck,

Thank you for the info Cheri! Unfortunately this is all the info I have 
on the family. I'll just save this until the summertime when I get dig 
deeper into my Nordeste ancestors. Funny how the people I get my last 
name from are the last ones on my list!

Now, if you think your Joao had older siblings born in 1884 or 
earlier, that might work.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Requesting a Nordeste, SM baptismo look up (1888)

[Jesse Pacheco]

I was wondering if anyone with easier access to a FHC than I have (over 
an hour drive, scheduling conflicts) could do a (hopefully!) 
not-too-difficult look-up for me.


I don't know the church, but when I looked it up I saw that Nordeste 
only had Sao Jorge, so I am assuming that is the one?


I am looking for Joao Pacheco, born 9 Mar 1888 in Nordeste to Jose 
Pacheco and Rosalina (possibly Luiz). I am trying to figure out if 
confusion has occurred with names in this group of people so that I can 
confidently continue my research in another branch. If someone could 
check this information, it would be greatly appreciated! If this is more 
work than I realized, I apologize. I only ask if this would be a 
relatively quick task.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Nordeste Philharmonic from 1950 - 1958

[Altino DeMelo]

This may be a longshot. The city of Nordeste in São Miguel has a
philharmonic band called 'Filarmónica Eco Edificante de Vila
Nordeste'. My father played in that band between 1950 - 1958. If
anybody has any photographs of this band during this period, could you
please write me?

I found a blog through a search of Facebook with a current member. I
asked her if historic photos of the band existed in her comment
section. (again another longshot but i am awaiting a response for
now).

I also found an address for the band through an online search. (i'll
wait to see if i get any responses here first though).

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: De Melo

[Altino DeMelo]

Hi Herb,

It's possible that you may be related in some sense to my Melo's. My
Melo's in Nordeste came from the Melo's in Ribeira Grande and Ribeira
das Tainhas, Ponta Garca.

You may have grown up in Nordeste and your family may have known mine.
In fact, i wouldn't be surprised at all if our relatives were in each
others photos (matanca's, festas etc). My paternal Grandmother
(Senhorinha Raposo de Medeiros) was invited after she married Antonio
de Melo Correia to live in Nordeste by her parents (José Raposo de
Medeiros and Rosa Amália de Jesus).

Senhorinha's family (Grandparents, cousins etc) were from the area
Fazenda. (right beside Nordeste). Senhorinha had numerous siblings
(Ernesto, José, Manuel, Serafim, Jacinto and Maria da Luz [all
Raposo]).

My Grandfather's house was right across from the Casa da Trabalho. He
had 6 children:
José Rapose de Melo, Urbano Raposo de Melo, Maria Alda Raposo de Melo,
Maria de Conceição de Melo, Altino Raposo de Melo and Eduardo Raposo
de Melo.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Father A.M. Serpa, in Providence, RI in 1901

[Cheri Mello]

Wow, right church, wrong person.

When my cousin, Sister Hilda Correia, took me to Holy Rosary in Providence,
she told me my great-grandfather married there (he didn't.  They married at
St. John the Baptist in New Bedford).  Sr. Hilda was friends with Father
Paiva. They had served together somewhere.

I couldn't figure out how Sister Hilda was so far off about the marriage
church.  It wasn't my great-grandfather that married there.  It was his
SISTER.

Here we go with my family putting the story on the wrong person!  LOL.
There's always a grain of truth in there.

BT, 

It's hard to get any information on any living person in any country now, due 
to privacy laws. 

You'll be able to view the records in the archives at Horta up to about 1910.  
But that probably won't help you much.  

You might be able to go to Cedros and ask around for anyone who might know of 
your family.  If you don't speak Portuguese, ask for an English speaking taxi 
driver.  If you want his services for 4 hours, ask what he makes in a 4 hour 
time period and offer him that to take you to Cedros and act as your 
translator.  (Or 6 hours or whatever).  Some people on this list have kept the 
names of their taxi drivers who have been of assistance to them.  If so, I'm 
sure they will post the info or contact you directly.

They will all be online one day at the Centro de Conhecimento dos Acores

http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/
(Use any web browser except Firefox).

On the right, click on Registos Paroquias (Parish Registers).  From there
you can see which island are done (Corvo, Flores, and Sao Jorge) and which
ones are in progress (Pico, Sao Miguel, and Terceira).  Which leaves nothing
yet for Santa Maria, Graciosa or Faial).

There is no published timeline for this project.  I think it's been going on
for about 6 years now, maybe more.

Hello

I am planning a trip to Faial in May and while doing some research, I recently 
found this group and thought I might be able to get some information on my 
paternal grandfather's side from Cedros.  I have found quite a bit of 
information, but recently discovered he had two sisters that never came to the 
states - Maria Emilia Fontes Ramos (DOB 1894) and Filomena Fontes Furtado who 
stayed in Cedros.  My grandfather's name was Joao Silveira Fontes (DOB 1891) 
and his parents were Jose Silveira and Ana Clara Do Coracao de Jesus (DOB 
1862).  Maria apparently had one stepson and 10 children.  Filomena had a son, 
Jose Silveira Furtado aka Ramadinha, who apparently still lives in Faial.

If anyone knows of this family's decendants,I would love to contact them and 
meet them when I visit in May.  Any other information on my family (living or 
deceased), I would greatly appreciate.

Is there an on-line source to review the birth and marriage records of my
great granparents, Jacinto do Rego Baldaia, and his wife, Maria Carolina?

Thanks,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] "borrow" on Ancestry

[Besotes]

Hello Shirl,

Some members choose to keep their sites private at the request of living 
family members.  Mine is private, but I do have 13 family members who have 
access to my family tree (and anyone else who's related may have access to 
it as well).  Only two have access to edit information - one being my Mother 
and the other a true researcher like myself.  All the rest just want to 
"see" information.


Typically, when I come across a tree that's private, I shoot the member an 
email and we speak back and fourth to see if we have a true connection. 
I've been successful several times - only once I can think of had we not 
been related (but we chose to believe maybe down the road we may be 
connected do to so many similarities of names and places our family had been 
over the many years).

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] "borrow" on Ancestry

[Shirley Sereque]

I haven't had the horror stories some of you have had, but I do have my 
ancestry.com information public.  I found two fourth cousins, a 
granddaughter of a second cousin who is quite elderly and hasn't given 
me much information, and someone researching the Benarus side who turns 
out to be a distant cousin.  Can't get very far on my Seriqui side, 
though, although some in this group have told me a few stories which is 
wonderful.
While looking at another's information, I discovered that they had the 
parents born after their children!  I wrote to the person whose ancestry 
line this is and reminded them of the goof.   :-)   Now another person 
has my Kozik (Austrian) side on their site so I did just write to them 
asking how "we" are related.   I always wondered why people kept their 
site private while they could access the public sites without feeling 
guilty!

Linda,
 
Keeping the tree private can prevent some of this. Since you

control who sees the tree, only those you allow in can borrow
things. My reason for having the tree up is to gather distant
family members who are researching, so I'll put up with the
borrowing and leave my tree public.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Genealogy Conference in Utah, 2011: CHANGE OF DATES

[Cheri Mello]

Our host hotel, the Salt Lake Plaza in Salt Lake City, Utah wound up with a
problem with the number of guest rooms to sleep in.  They already know that
they are going to run out based on the number of groups that want to stay at
the Plaza hotel.  So we had to move our dates.

NEW DATES:  Monday, June 27, 2011 through Friday, July 1, 2011.

Details with the registration to follow next week.

David,

It's in www.worldcat.org, but no copy is in Utah.  But you might check and
see if your library can borrow it from one in California.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Calling all Graciosa researchers

[Rosemarie Capodicci]

David, 

I have a book that I purchased many years ago by Norberto da Cunha Pacheco 
called "Graciosa, as tradicoes e as paisagens de uma ilha". I Googled it on 
Googles book site and the book is available from many libraries in California, 
Toronto & Ottowa. There are more, but for some reason my computer would not 
take me to the next page! Anyway, there are lots of pics in the books: 
postcards, real pictures etc.. Very little text.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] De Melo

[Duane De Mello]

Cheri et al: You and I have been out of touch for several years now, but I
thought I would chime in here with my De Mello's in Nordeste since I at
still unable to go any further back than my great great grandparents there.


Manuel de Mello, N.S. Anuncicao, Achadinha, Sao Migeul, married to Maria da
Estrella, of N.S. Conceicao, Ribeira Grande, Sao Miguel.

I have no dates at all for them, however, one of their sons (my great
grandfather) was Joao de Mello Faulha (or Fautho?), born/baptized May 1841,
N.S. Conceicao, Ribeira Grande.

I would certainly be grateful for any assistance in identifying them or
others in the family that goes back further in the line.

Cheers and best wishes for the new year to all, Duane De Mello
