[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Terceira Research
Sampaio is a place name in Portugal and the province of Galicia in Spain. The name derives from a Roman Catholic martyr, Saint Pelagius of Cordova, a 13 yr old living in Cordova, who was executed at the order of its ruler, Abd ar-Rahman III, when he refused to denounce his faith and convert to Islam, in 925 A.D.

Hi everyone, I am new to the group. I am searching for information on Antonio Gomes da Costa, born November 2nd, sometime between 1872 and 1874 (the dates are different on everything Ive found), in Sao Miguel. He went to New Bedford, Massachusetts in February 1890 according to a later passport application, but I thought I found him in March 1893 on the ship Olinda. He eventually worked as a show repairer, and owned his own shop. His parents names were Domigos Gomes da Costa and Maria de Conceicao. He died in 1951 in New Bedford. His wife was named Maria Jose Camara and was born August 1877 (or thereabouts) in I believe Sao Miguel. Her parents were Jose Ignacio Camara and Maria Gloria Arruda. There is a family story that she was some kind of professor in Boston, but I don't have anythting to back that up. She came to New Bedford before her husband, I believe they may have married in the U.S. She dies on February 9, 1945 in New Bedford. They had three children, Alfred, Edmund and Edmar (Ideomar) who was my grandfather. They eventually used Gomes as a middle name and just went by Costa. Is anyone searching for this family? Any advice on where to search for records in Sao Miguel would be appreciated. I have other bits and pieces, just need to put it all together. Thanks!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] New to the group
I don't think so--at least not easily, since these obituaries and death notices aren't always titled the same way. You can try typing in the name and obituario or faleceu or falecido or falecida and setting the search to All Words. But you'll get a lot of unrelated junk.

Look in the second column from the left at the bottom of the page. The obituary should be useful, because it provides the freguesias of your grandparents and of Maria's parents. I hope you can read Portuguese, but if not, don't worry. This is in standard obituary format. It does mention your grandfather's occupation as a well-known shoemaker (sapateiro). I didn't see any reference to her being a professor in Boston, but her two sisters lived in Boston. Also, I couldn't find an obituary for your grandfather, but I didn't try all the name combinations that it may have been listed under. This newspaper archive is a treasure trove of information. The website is: https://news.arcasearch.com/usmaums/ Hope this helps. Nancy .. On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 9:26 AM, Elisabeth Costa elizco...@hotmail.com wrote: Hi everyone, I am new to the group. I am searching for information on Antonio Gomes da Costa, born November 2nd, sometime between 1872 and 1874 (the dates are different on everything Ive found), in Sao Miguel. He went to New Bedford, Massachusetts in February 1890 according to a later passport application, but I thought I found him in March 1893 on the ship Olinda. He eventually worked as a show repairer, and owned his own shop. His parents names were Domigos Gomes da Costa and Maria de Conceicao. He died in 1951 in New Bedford. His wife was named Maria Jose Camara and was born August 1877 (or thereabouts) in I believe Sao Miguel. Her parents were Jose Ignacio Camara and Maria Gloria Arruda. There is a family story that she was some kind of professor in Boston, but I don't have anythting to back that up. She came to New Bedford before her husband, I believe they may have married in the U.S. She dies on February 9, 1945 in New Bedford. They had three children, Alfred, Edmund and Edmar (Ideomar) who was my grandfather. They eventually used Gomes as a middle name and just went by Costa. Is anyone searching for this family? Any advice on where to search for records in Sao Miguel would be appreciated. I have other bits and pieces, just need to put it all together. Thanks!
