[AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel d'Avila de Bettencourt, Lajes do Pico

2014-03-11 Thread Dano
Could have been a little of both - perhaps a DNA test can answer ;) Actually, 
it was somewhat common practice for a prominent person in the parish to act as 
godfather (padrinho), or witness (testemunha), for church ceremonies. You will 
also see regular church members step up and help out with baptisms of the poor 
and unwanted children that were brought to, or left at, the church. Sometimes 
these children were placed in the homes of such parishioners (criados).

Thanks Doug, that is true.  However, what's intriguing is what two sister 
having children out of wedlock within a 17 year period.  I may have to look 
at the history at that time, may be troops were in town.

 Hi Manny,

 I am not looking at any records right now when I answer you.
 The reason is that the treasurer is quite often the padrinho or witness 
 for many children in every village.
 Sure, he could be the real father, but probably no more likely than anyone 
 else.

 Hello,

 Does anyone have information on Manuel d'Avila de Bettencourt, church 
 treasurer for at least these years 1843, 1856, 1857  1860?

 I'm seeing him as the padrinho (godfather) for a few children that were 
 baptized without a father.  Was he the father of the out of wedlock 
 children or because he held a high position within the town?

 Thank you,

 Manny

At the end of the ship manifest (last page), the Captain (or purser, whoever)

There is/are ship(s) that brought people from the Azores to the US
illegally and there is no ship's manifest documenting these people so
trying to find them in a ship's manifest is highly unlikely. I often
wondered if these people obtained a Passportes from the Azores since they

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Two ship manifests from Sao Miguel

2014-03-11 Thread rondo ranch
I have no proof of the following but it is just a suggestion: If the ship 
picked up people from the islands in the same order every time then 
inter-island traveling would be impossible without going to the final 
destination (making the whole round trip). If they reverse their order on the 
return trip them could pick up passengers/goods (as room allowed) just 
traveling from one island to another without making the whole trip to the USA, 
Brazil, etc. This is just a theory.

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Two ship manifests from Sao Miguel

The more stops the ship made probably likened it more to purgatory for the 
passengers, than a sightseeing trip. Most Azorians were not wealthy and so 
were berthed in steerage. Anyone that travelled that way would probably tell 
you that it was chaotic with entire families packed in to small quarters. 
Depending on the timeframe and the ship they travelled on, they may not have 
even been allowed on deck. The Peninsular was mainly a passenger ship which 
likely only carried cargo incidental to the voyage. So, it was more likely 
that the reason for the stops at the various islands was to pick up more 
passengers - somewhat akin to a train that stops at every small town on the 
way to its ultimate destination. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking with 
it :)

I think it was common knowledge that whalers from New England would stop in

Bedford or any of the other ports in the US to deliver their catch and the

Rondo, that's not the history of the Azores - Azoreans didn't travel anywhere 
unless there was an absolute need to. Their lives weren't much above 
subsistence level, so, they weren't into sightseeing, they were into survival.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Cuba

2014-03-11 Thread Antonio Faria
During the Iberian Union which was approximately 1580 to 1640 Portugal and 
Spain remained separate countries technically, but had one king during that 
time I  Azoreans immigrated to Puerto Rico I haven't done too much research 
on Cuba but I suspect there as well. Also Cuba was heavily settled by 
people from the Canary Islands Canary islander have some Portuguese 
ancestry. I can give a specific example of one family the Bettencourts 
started off in Normandy France but ended up in the Azores,  first went to 
the Canary islands then Madeira some of them remaining there, before the 
Azores.

 Greetings Group,
  
 My brother has a strong DNA (E-M35.1) match in Cuba.  I'm curious if many 
 Azorean people went to Cuba? Did whaling ships stop there?
  
 Thanks,
