[AZORES-Genealogy] Non-Genealogy Tech info: Floppy Users and Windows XP Users
Dick Eastman (genealogy tech guru) wrote about floppies today. There are a few of you still using them. Please read this article if you are using them still. http://goo.gl/VHwxq He also wrote about Windows XP not having any more security updates after April 8, 2014 (I think that one was released in the fall of 2001; Microsoft believes 52% of people still use it, a Dick Eastman survey from Sept, 2009 had 60% of genealogists using XP): http://goo.gl/FQAXX Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furtado and George from Faial
So frustrating when you see and read about the same names, Anthony Furtado (my ggrandfather), but born in different islands and immigrated to the states, especially the same year, 1892. We have Morgado not Morganti though and on the east coast, MA, not RI or CA.

I too have Furtado's in my line from Faial. Although, mine are further back than the 1800's. Attached, is some basic information.
