[AZORES-Genealogy] 1866 marriage Ribeira das Tainhas, Sao Miguel island, written at end of book

2014-07-24 Thread Cheri Mello
As I was clicking through the images of Ribeira das Tainhas on Sao Miguel
island, and got to the last marriage for 1866, I noticed too many other
images for 1866.  So I clicked.  And I found this.
http://goo.gl/TuymiQ

It's an unnumbered marriage.  I don't know what the top paragraph says.  I
can get the bride and groom, ages, etc, etc.  Interesting that the date is
on the 2nd page of the marriage at the end (4 Dec 1866).  There's something
weird here.  And something about a dispensation.

So what's all this extra stuff in this marriage?  Why was it recorded after
the last entry and the paragraph that closes the book?

Hi Cheri,

This is the letter that was written (and then received) in December 1866 
authorizing these grooms to marry. Supposedly because the groom got 
permission to marry from his father (at 23!!!).

The marriage itself will be recorded, most likely in early 1867.

Oh!  A good chunk of it reads like a marriage, but it was after that
closing paragraph and it didn't follow the language I was used to.

Is this one the same thing?  But it's a little more like scratch paper with
some math and one entry written upside down!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Barreled through my brick wall, now what?

2014-07-24 Thread Nicole Rodriques
Until a few days ago I was stuck at only knowing my great-gparents' names 
and vaguely where they came from and relevant birth and death dates. With 
the help of people on this list, I now I have the names all the way back to 
my g-g-g-great gparents thanks to the Azores baptismos and marriage 
records. I found the baptismos and marriage record of the great 
grandparents. I found what is likely the marriage record of the parents of 
my great-grandfather. Given the age at marriage, I can guess what year to 
look for baptismos. However, I have reached a point where I can't read the 
records, the writing is too faded or the pages are mostly destroyed or the 
format completely changed. I know there has to be some way to continue but 
I don't quite know that that is short of hiring a professional and as much 
as I would like to, I can't afford that. Maybe someone can point me in a 
direction to look?

What I know-

Manuel Duarte Silva (b. Sept 9 1887 d. 1946) married Conceicao Cabral 
Medeiros (b. Aug-28-1884 d. Nov 11 1960), they were married in 1908 in Sao 
Miguel. I have found both baptismos and the marriage record. 

Manuel's parents were Manuel Duarte Silva and Anna da Conceicao (So 
previous Manuel is Manuel Jr.? I thought this didn't happen?) I found a 
marriage record for them dated 1886. I believe it says that they were both 
26, so that puts birth around 1860? They had two other children- Jose 
Duarte Silva and Mary Duarte Silva (I know nothing about these two). 

Manuel Sr.'s parents were Jose Duarte Jr and Rosa da Silva, Anna da 
Conceicao's parents were Joao Pacheco and Rosa Pacheco.


Conceicao Cabral Medeiros's parents were Jose Ignacio Medeiros and Anna 
Cabral. (I found a marriage record from 1878 that may be them, but the 
names are wrong. Looks like it says Jose Ignacio Medeiros and Anna Rosa da 
Jesus, but the parents listed for them match the grandparents listed on 
Conceicao's baptismo? Maybe I'm reading names wrong? It's no 30- bottom 
right--
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-ACHADA-C-1870-1879/SMG-ND-ACHADA-C-1870-1879_item1/P89.html)
 


Jose 's parents were Manuel Ignacio de Medeiros and Maria Francisca, Anna 
Cabral's parents were Joao Cabral de Pimentel and Ludovina do Amor Divino.

I guess I can look through obitos from Achada and Santana to see if I find 
relevant people, but what else can I do?


Thanks

2014-07-24 Thread Cheri Mello
Nicole R,

You can find ALL the kids of a particular couple (the kids' baptisms and
marriage).  It will strengthen your reading of the records.  It will also
build your database so when you get a DNA match, you'll have a starting
point to connect your DNA match to.

You didn't mention a place for your ancestors, but at the bottom you
mention Achada and Santana.  Achada has some of the worst records on Sao
Miguel.  I think the only records worse than part of Achada is Santa Maria
island.

There is a partial index for Achada marriages.  It starts at the beginning
(1680s) and goes to about 1730s if I remember correctly.  I have a copy and
I typed it up in Excel.  Once you get to that time period and you're still
in Achada (start hoping they came from somewhere else), send me an email
and I'll send you the Excel file.

It's going to be a bit of a struggle.  I think I found an ancestor about
the 1820s in Achada and most of her ancestors were from there.  It was
hard.  I had to ask a lot of people to verify what I was reading.  On the
plus side, if you can read the stuff coming out of Achada, you'll be able
to read anything.

I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.  I know of no other sources for
Achada.

Father gives its agreement to the marriage but doesn’t sign it in order to 
prove he gave the consent because he does not know how to write. They were 
under age if less than 25 (it is the same as “filho famílias).

 

“married on Monday” – at those times marrying was an act of ordinary life. Most 
of them married on the morning so they can go to work. Crops do not wait for 
“party”. Common people married in the morning, Complicated cases married in the 
early morning “not to be seen”. Messes were very early in the morning and at

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Language after bride's occupation

2014-07-24 Thread Dano
Cheri, thanks for using my 3rd cousins as an example...

The bride was required to get the father's consent due to the fact that she 
was 20 yrs.of age at the time of marriage. 

The document substantiates that as the father has given his consent, there 
is no further impediment to the marriage, and the couple is received as 
husband and wife in all matters in conformance with the Catholic, Apostolic 
, and, Roman rite of the Holy Mother Church, Church, and, they 
subsequently received the Church's blessings.  

I don't see where it says that the father didn't attend the wedding, but, 
he, apparently, didn't sign attesting that the bride was the legitimate 
daughter of Luiz de Mello and Maria Julia. I don't know what that was 
about, except maybe a cranky priest with an ax to grind.

Under age was 25?  OK, thanks for the info!

I knew the weddings are not like the ones of today.  I just figured it was
the bride  groom, their parents, and the witnesses.  So it's just the

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Language after bride's occupation

2014-07-24 Thread Cheri Mello
Well Dano, I hope you got to enter that one into your computer!

The bride was mean old Aunt Perpetua according to family stories!  I
realized I didn't have her marriage, so I looked on the CCA.  You don't
happen to have her death in New Bedford do you?  I think her hubby died in
an auto accident about 10 years after coming to America.  I can look up
that source if you want it.

You said:
I don't see where it says that the father didn't attend the wedding, but,
he, apparently, didn't sign attesting that the bride was the legitimate
daughter of Luiz de Mello and Maria Julia. I don't know what that was
about, except maybe a cranky priest with an ax to grind.

It doesn't say that.  That was my assumption.  I would guess that the
father of the bride was there if he was giving his consent and the priest
was saying he didn't know how to write.  I couldn't image the priest going
out to where the father was to ask if he gives permission.  Unless it
happened on Sunday at Mass and the father told the priest after Mass that
he consented to her marriage.

Cranky priest? Maybe the family didn't put enough in the collection basket
on Sunday.  Or they didn't give him enough vinho at the wedding! :)

 I'm having trouble with the names of Maria's parents. Her father looks
 like Miguel ___(ats or als or alz?) and her mother's first name might be
 Suzana? Glz (Goncalves). The record is on the right page, first full
 record:  http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-

 Nicole R,

 You can find ALL the kids of a particular couple (the kids' baptisms and
 marriage).  It will strengthen your reading of the records.  It will also
 build your database so when you get a DNA match, you'll have a starting
 point to connect your DNA match to.

 You didn't mention a place for your ancestors, but at the bottom you
 mention Achada and Santana.  Achada has some of the worst records on Sao
 Miguel.  I think the only records worse than part of Achada is Santa Maria
 island.

 There is a partial index for Achada marriages.  It starts at the beginning
 (1680s) and goes to about 1730s if I remember correctly.  I have a copy and
 I typed it up in Excel.  Once you get to that time period and you're still
 in Achada (start hoping they came from somewhere else), send me an email
 and I'll send you the Excel file.

 It's going to be a bit of a struggle.  I think I found an ancestor about
 the 1820s in Achada and most of her ancestors were from there.  It was
 hard.  I had to ask a lot of people to verify what I was reading.  On the
 plus side, if you can read the stuff coming out of Achada, you'll be able
 to read anything.

 I know this isn't what you wanted to hear.  I know of no other sources for
 Achada.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Language after bride's occupation

2014-07-24 Thread Dano
I had the parents, but not the daughter. The marriage record helped fill in 
a few spaces, that's all. Cheri. I didn't know she [Perpetua] was cranky; 
I thought it was just the priest - maybe she felt she was due :) Except for 
the Parents and Grandparents, I don't have much on this part of the family.
