[AZORES-Genealogy] Unusual Record
Other than circumstances with foundlings, it certainly is rare to find a record that doesn't name the mother. Floriano was apparently a standup guy in this instance, as well as later on in life. That being considered, what are the chances that his eventual marriage was to his first love, the mother of his first child??? -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

Thank you for everyone's input. I think I may have my dad tested with the Family finder DNA. It is very confusing and not alot is know about this side of the family and what is know is just here say. Where is the best place to search for birth records? I have quite a few names which he has used. He seems to have arrived in NZ as Jose de Simas or Jose Francisco de Simas and then he has used Jose Leal De Simas and also Jose Silva De Simas ( this is not in any official documents that I have come across, just here say again). He passed away in NZ as Jose Leal De Simas. Also it is quite possible he was born in Porto in Northern Portugal and moved to somewhere in the Azores. I have also heard that his parent own a vineyard.

I do have him named as married in births of other children at a later date but I have not searched for the record of marriage to her.

I know cases where Dr. so and so is the father.In Faial and Terceira are some families like Teles that it happened several times. Same for some Pamplona families of Terceira.I have a case where my own ancestor did this. But it was more strange than usual because the mother was certainly well known.If you paid attention to any of my recent posts, you know I have ancestors from Chile.Well, my Piedade ancestor moved to Chile where he married a local girl and had 5 children from a legal marriage.He later smuggled his three surviving daughters out of the country and took them back to Terceira.In Conceicao, Angra, about the 1880s sometime are a series of "legitimacoes" that show these three daughters having an unknown mother (the true mother was my ancestor from Chile).So they were estranged and after the death of my Piedade male ancestor, my ancestor from Chile moved to Terceira where she proved she was the mother of these three daughters.She probably brought along the marriage record to prove it. She remained there with her daughters until she died in about the 1930s, with the exception of the daughter who was my great-grandmother, since she moved to California and is buried in Hayward.The best I can figure is that my Piedade male ancestor was wealthy enough to pay off whomever in the church would take his money and make such a record to say the mother was unknown.He left a lot of property to his heirs, so that seems the most likely answer.I might be the only person who can claim to have an ancestor with two legal and different baptism records for the same person. :-)Doug da Rocha HolmesSacramento, CaliforniaPico Genealogist916-550-1618www.dholmes.com Original Message Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Unusual Record From: John Raposo marra...@yahoo.com Date: Fri, January 11, 2013 1:08 pm To: "azores@googlegroups.com" azores@googlegroups.com What a gentleman!

Amy, The Office of Births, Deaths and Marriges in NZ in the town or nearest city to where your gfather died will have the official records and you can ask them for a copy. I think they were about $25 per record when I applied for a copy of my birth cert..I was born in Wellinton so applied there. Ring your nearest office and ask what the procedure is. Your gfathers place of bith should be recorded on his death certificate because his place of birth should have been notifed of his death, that was and I think, is still the procedure. My grrandfather arrived in Dunedin somewhere around 1860-65 and his death cert. shows that he was born in Candelaria, Pico, Azores in 1840. I have a copy of that death cert. and a certified translation of his birth certificate, translated in Dunedin, and obtained from the NZ archives by my cousin. Maybe you should visit the titles office sometimes you will learn much more that way. My ggrandfather also used variations on his name, sometimes he was Jose de Andrade de Macedo and sometimes just known as Jose Macedo. Also have a look in the Madalena database of the Uminho. there is a Jose Leal Simas b 1907, he is related to my family and his father came from Lajes so you could look there. This family was also related to my family in Lajes so just maybe our ancestors knew each other. It is now 4 15 a.m. here In Brisbane so I wish you good luck and yes most certainly have the DNA done. regards, Christine Macedo On Saturday, January 12, 2013 7:30:55 PM UTC+10, amy...@xtra.co.nz wrote: Thank you for everyone's input.

Attached is a screen shot titled Match George. This is Altino Demelo's Family Finder matches. You can see that Altino matches George Mello, Shirley Allegre, Cheri Mello, Gail Elizares, and Nicolau Silva. So if you were Altino and you got your DNA results back, you would think that if you emailed George, Shirley, Cheri, Gail, and Nicolau, that you would be reaching George, Shirley, Cheri, Gail and Nicolau. You're not. The reason I know this is because I'm the project admin and I can tell you that two of the matches have proxies (kits handled by other people). You would not know this if you are Altino. Now, if you are Altino, and you write me an email that says, Hi there, You are matching me on our Family Finder page, I won't know what you mean. Are you really matching me, Cheri? Or my dad George? Or my mom? Or any of the other kits I handle? So I came up with this work around. See the screen shot titled Match George But Cheri. Now, if you are Altino, you now know that you won't be talking to George. You are talking to Cheri. So your email could say, Hi Cheri, I see George Mello is matching me on the Family Finder test. However, if you are a proxy too, your email needs to say, Hi Cheri, George Mello is matching my cousin, Jane Doe, on the Family Finder test. Or something along those lines.
