[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Trouble Reading Marriage Record

2016-09-12 Thread bsei2816
I'm also seeing Manuel Cabral, son of Francisco da Camera  and Antonia de 
Jesus marrying Maria Jose, daughter of José Travassos and Anna Maria 
(originally wrote Anna Jacinta, then wrote "digo" to correct himself and 
wrote Anna Maria).  You are correct that Anna Maria is deceased.

I believe they were both baptized in Fenais da Luz where the groom met his 
last three Lenten obligations, but the bride only met her last one there.  
She was disobligated the other two years in São Sebastião so she may have 
been baptized there.

This is the marriage record (right hand page) for two of my ancestors on my

parents' names and where they are from so I can start to track them down.

For Manuel's father, I'm reading Francisco da Camara? And for his mother, 
I'm seeing Antonia...de Jesus, maybe? For Maria's father, I'm reading Jose 
? (Perhaps Travassos?). For Maria's mother's, I'm seeing Anna (or Anna 
Maria) Jacinta. And I'm assuming she had already passed away at that point, 
because it says "ja defuncta". It looks like Maria was baptized in São 
Sebastião, Ponta Delgada, but I don't know where Manuel was baptized.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Centro de Conhecimento dos Açores - Registos Paroquiais

2016-09-12 Thread Nelia DiBiase
Ancestry Carolina do Rego

Born in Sao Vicente Ferreira, Sao Miguel Acores.

Parents: Manuel do Rego Araujo & Maria do R Faulha ( although in her birth
record it states her mother's name as Maria Estrella)

Carolina immigrated to the USA in 1879 along with her older siblings...

Maria do Espírito Santo ( age 27) and her husband Manuel da Costa. They
brought their 3 month old son Manuel.

Francisca do Rego age 24
Francisca apparently married a José Correa in MA

My G grandmother Carolina married my Great grandfather Antonio Bento Torres
in 1899 in Fall River.

At some point they both returned to Sao Miguel where they had 4 girls and I
believe a son.

I cannot find death record for her but I know she passed in Sao Miguel. I
did find a death record for her sister Maria who passed in 1933 in Sao
Vicente. The rest is a mystery to me. According to my mother she said that
she had another sister named Isabel in Santo Antonio.

I have absolutely no clue if I'm on the right track as I keep finding names
mixed up as I go back. It becomes extremely confusing and to me it seems
that there were intermarriage say some point.

  The
  baptism doesn't count. They only use first names.

  Here's what I do. I
  get a piece of paper and I write:
  Jose
  Pacheco Coelho
  Jose Pacheco
  Then I make a tally of how many times
  that name appears, giving more weight to his marriage and
  his childrens' baptisms (he was most likely present at
  all of them). I give less weight to the grandchildrens'
  baptisms (he may not have been there or may have passed
  away).

  So if that
  helps you make a decision, do it that way. If Jose Pacheco
  Coelho has 8 tallies and Jose Pacheco is 2, then it helps.


  However, with
  compounded surnames, especially with how common Jose Pacheco
  is, I think I'd do this:
  Given/First: Jose
  Surname/Last: Pacheco Coelho
  (It will be alphabetized under the
  Ps though).

  Then in the note field for the marriage,
  I would put that he married as Jose Pacheco Coelho, in the
  kids' baptism I'd put that the father appeared as
  Jose Pacheco, etc.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Documenting different names?

2016-09-12 Thread Rosemarie Capodicci
Joseph, if you are using Legacy Family Tree there is an 'aka' place to put
the name but it doesn't show on the front or 'primary' page. What I did,
was to take off the 'christening' field and rename it the also-known-as
field and it will show me right on the primary info page that Domingos
Antonio Souza is aka Domingos Antonio Soares and also Domingos Antonio (as
they sometime 'lose' the surname in later records, just a lazy Priest, I
thing!).  I put the christening date in my notes but it isn't something
that I have to see to identify my guy but an 'aka' certainly is more
valuable to me!!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Attending the Azores Conference and Joao Ventura

2016-09-12 Thread 'celeste perry' via Azores Genealogy

Joao has been my primary resource collecting information and documents about my 
grandparents and my husband's grandparents for almost 20 years.  I can't tell 
you how often he has found someone that has been "hidden" behind the "walls" 
that sometimes occur while we are searching church records.  

In addition, Joao met me on the continent while he was at the University of 
Coimbra and went with  me to the remote village where my grandfather was born 
and to the different places records were kept at that time.  I agree with all 
that has been stated about his skills and add that he has a wonderful 
personality too!

[AZORES-Genealogy] writing on back of old photo

2016-09-12 Thread linda
Hi Becky,

I emailed copies of the photos to my mom (85 in May!) who is bilingual in 
English and Portuguese and who taught herself to read and write Portuguese 
(she's awesome :)

This is her interpretation:

"Este é meu retrato"  (This is my picture.  In other words, this is a
picture of me) "que tirei no meu" yard (my Mom thinks she's trying to write 
"yard" in English and is spelling it how it sounded to her, "yarne") "atras 
faço vinha" (behind-- the house, that is; in other
words, in the back yard-- I make a vineyard).  "uma velha"  (an old lady).

This is a picture of me taken in my yard. In back, I make a vineyard. [signed] 
an old lady


:)

re: Manuel do Rego Nunes.
As luck would have it, I have been researching this line for a number of years. 
These people are the descendants of the Rego Mirandas of Somerset, MA. I have 
the line going back to 1693. I know all of this because I have spent the last 
20 years researching the Miranda families of S. Miguel. Please let me know if I 
can answer any questions you may have.
