Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] introduction myself to the group
Hi Ricardo, I have done some research on the Chaves family from Santa Maria as someone in my family married into this family. There is a book I was able to purchase quite a few years ago and it came from Santa Maria (a friend got it for me) and it is called Um Ramo Dos Chaves by Dr. Pe. Joao Chaves de Bairos. He is/was a priest from Santo Espirto, Santa Maria who wrote a genealogy book about the Chaves family. I don't have the book anymore it as I gave it to this Chaves family.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] introduction myself to the group
Welcome to the group Ricardo! I have done some extensive work on my ancestry. My maternal grandmother was from S. António além Capelas and I might be able to give you some help in that area if you send me the particulars. I also have some ancestors from Ribeira Grande. Since you live in S. Miguel you are fortunate to have easy access to the Archives and to source material which is not available to the rest of us. You also have living in Ponta Delgada, Dr. Miguel Soares da Silva, who is probably the the leading expert on Santo António families. The other, Rev. Joseph Viveiros, lives in the US. Good luck, and let me know if I can be of any help.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] De Genere or applications to priesthood and old pictures of the Azores
Hi Cheri, I am still adding information. These documents are important if you are searching for information on a specific village and there are no longer parish records available. On other occasions they confirm the information one has on a family: in certain villages there are many couples with similar names, living in the same time period. On the documents there is the name of the applicant, his parents and grandparents and their places of birth. For example there is an application for two brothers: one is native of Terceira and the other is native of Faial. Once someone pays for a record that information will be available for all. I will be adding more photos soon.

Thanks for making these records available. It must have taken a lot of time and hours and hours of work! Thank you! A couple of questions on how to use the web site. 1) I guess if I knew I had a priest in my tree, I'd just type in his name. But I don't. So I decided just to look at the list. I didn't see anyone being listed as a native of Sao Miguel. Is this a list of everybody, or are you still adding to it? 2) Blocked information: Is that just a gray bar, or is that where the details will become active once someone pays for that record? I love the old photos. I wonder who Mr. Borges was on Sao Miguel. Someone really liked his garden!

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] introduction myself to the group
Hi Ricardo, How nice to hear from another Chaves, even if we are not related. My paternal line is de Medeiros Chaves from Capelas. I have traced them back to the 1600's in Sao Miguel, but am unable to connect to Santa Maria where I'm pretty sure they came from. I enjoyed reading your blog, and noticed your wife is from Nordeste. My maternal line is Franco Pacheco from Pedreira. I have that line back to 1460. I also have Furtado in Pedreira and Achada, and Melo Botelho from Santo Antonio alem Capelas. If anything sounds familiar, let me know. I'm happy to share.

If you are positive this birth date is correct then it would seem that you need to research marriage records for this couple in Oakland for 1917. Her father's last name would have been spelled Jorge. George is of course Anglicized here. As for Orta, that is how it sounds to us and said by our people. The confusion often is in the lack of understanding that Horta, pronounced Orta is often used for where they came from, but since the whole Island of Faial is in the district or county of Horta, they often leave out that they are also from a town, like Salao in the county of Horta. It is then similar to being from New York City, New York State, but only saying your from New York. On Faial we also have the city of Horta, in the district/county of Horta, Faial. It can easily throw off even the best researchers if they don't know or forget or assume to quickly. Sorry I don't have more for you, but you have to little for me to go on right now.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] introduction myself to the group
Welcome Ricardo! I am currently researching my roots from Sao Miguel. Which is my Fernandes and Furtado line. I am only to my 4th great grandparents. They were from Fajã de Cima and Fajã de Baixo. It's taken me 6 years to get that far. First I am only able to research part time like you and second because my great grandfather was killed when my grandmother was 2 and she only knew his name and her grandmother's first name and married name from her second marriage. Also, my grandmother died before I started my research so I only have my mother and aunt to try and remember bits of information. My mother is nearly eighty and my aunt is 84 so their information is not always that reliable or helpful. It's nice to know that we have someone in the group who has lived in Sao Miguel. (Of course there could be others that I don't know of too) Who knows, maybe our lines will end up crossing somewhere. The world is awfully small sometimes. Anyway, it's good to have you in the group.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] De Genere or applications to priesthood and old pictures of the Azores
Something happened when Joao was going over some of these records. I had an ancestor whose father was not named on his baptism record. Joao was looking for information on someone in the same area (for someone else) and he found my grandfather's ancestor and his father and paternal grandparents were named. I think Joao told me that to prove the person was an old christian he had to have some people who were living at the time verify his father's name, even though it was incognito on his baptism record.

For example there is an application for two brothers: one is native of Terceira and the other is native of Faial. Once someone pays for a record that information will be available for all. I will be adding more photos soon. João Ventura Terceira From: Cheri Mello gfsche...@gmail.com To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2011 5:00 AM Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] De Genere or applications to priesthood and old pictures of the Azores Hi Joao, This is a great resource! Thanks for making these records available. It must have taken a lot of time and hours and hours of work! Thank you! A couple of questions on how to use the web site. 1) I guess if I knew I had a priest in my tree, I'd just type in his name. But I don't. So I decided just to look at the list. I didn't see anyone being listed as a native of Sao Miguel. Is this a list of everybody, or are you still adding to it? 2) Blocked information: Is that just a gray bar, or is that where the details will become active once someone pays for that record? I love the old photos. I wonder who Mr. Borges was on Sao Miguel. Someone really liked his garden!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Another DNA sale (mostly for new orders) from Family Tree DNA (through Thursday, July 21, 11:59pm CDT)
Cheri I believe I am full blooded portuguese, and both parents, and all four grandparents are from the Azores. What do you think I should order?

If you are unsure what would suit you best, drop me or Rick an email and we will be glad to help you.

Please don't wait until the last minute on Thursday. If you've been thinking about it, ask us now. That way you are in a better position to make a decision (either now, or maybe with the holiday sale in December).

Whoops! This link is for NEW orders for the sale that I was talking about: http://goo.gl/bnbq7 If you are an EXISTING customer, the only thing on sale for you is Family Finder.

Hi Edward, It depends on your goal (or if you have a goal) for DNA testing. I'll give you a call (I have free long distance) to see what you are thinking.
