RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translation help - Marriage of Joanna de Medeiros and Antonio de Costa - Bretanha 1741?

[Joanne Mercier]

One and the same. I descend from their son, Manuel Alvares Costa, whose
daughter Maria Francesa married my 4GGrandfather Mathias de Medeiros Calvo.
It would seem my paternal side is very entrenched in Bretanha.

Don't think that one is part of my clan then. I have an Alexio de Medeiros
married to an Antonia Carvalho and I am looking for their ancestors and
desecdents. Thanks for the clarification, Rick.

I can see that her father is Alexio de Medeiros but that about it - the
rest of the script is just not reading clearly to me. Any help with this
tricky one will be most greatly appreciated.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Dissertation on São Jorge Velas society and culture

[Mary Bordi]

This paper is fantastic! You can do a search on the locality (or names) and
quickly see the references.

I love the brands! I found one for someone with the same name and of the
same era as my 6 GGrandfather.

I can read some Portuguese and this will encourage me to improve and also
learn new words.

My ancestors were from Rosais and Norte Grande, so the are both covered.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Translation help - Marriage of Joanne de Medeiros and Antonio de Costa - Bretanha 1741?

[Philippe Garnier]

Hi Joana,

1741, April 4 … Antonio da Costa Sintra (perhaps) son of Manoel da Sintra 
and Antonia da Costa parishioners of this parish where he is native, with 
Joana de Medeiros daughter of Aleixo da Costa and Jacinta de Medeiros 
parishioners of N. S. da Conceição dos Mosteiros (perhaps, I don' know this 
island) where she was baptized … (was present in Bretanha to the last 
Easter)

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translation help - Marriage of Joanna de Medeiros and Antonio de Costa - Bretanha 1741?

Antonia de Carvalho married Alexio de Medeiros on 23 Jun 1717 in Ajuda, The 
record is there but I will have to look for it. Alexio and Antonia are my 6th 
Great Grandparents. I descend from their son Alexandre de Medeiros and Luzia

Don't think that one is part of my clan then. I have an Alexio de Medeiros 
married to an Antonia Carvalho and I am looking for their ancestors and

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translation help - Marriage of Joanne de Medeiros and Antonio de Costa - Bretanha 1741?

['Altino Demelo' via Azores Genealogy]

Alexis de Medeiros is my 6th great grandfather. He married Antonia Oliveira 
Carvalho in Bretanha on June 23, 1717. That record is in the marriages book of 
that period, however, it is out of place.

Aleixo's parents are Manuel Alves or Alvares Calvo and Maria de Oliveira.

Antonia's parents are Manuel de Oliveira and Maria de Oliveira Carvalho

 We may not be able to tie this one in because we are both at the end of

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Freitas Mendonca Flores ancestors

[linda]

Hi Wendy,

I'm new to FTDNA, but it looks like you and your grandmother match my mom 
and me.  Two of my mom's grandparents were born on Flores, and I have their 
lines sketched out to about the mid 1700's/early 1800's.  Our connection 
might be beyond the range of the existing records, but I'm happy to help 
look for a connection.  We have Mendonca and Freitas, among other names, in 
our tree too.

If you haven't already got the Flores/Corvo marriage book, I highly 
recommend it:

https://www.amazon.com/Casais-das-Flores-Corvo-Portuguese-ebook/dp/B00AQAOOF6

It's a searchable index of all the marriage records from the two islands.  
You can use it to cut down some of the record slogging and to put together 
a good provisional tree fairly quickly.

cheers,

Linda Meneses

Join the Azores DNA Project here:

Log into your FTDNA page with your kit number and password.

Across the top is says: myFTDNA, DNA Tests, ProjectsPoint at Projects.
When the drop down menu appears, click "Join a project."

If the Azores Islands appears on the top, click the link and scroll down to
the JOIN button at the end.

If the Azores Islands is not suggested, scroll down to where it says
"Search by Surname" and type: azores.

When Azores Islands appears, click the link follow the directions.


You are not ready to research in the Azores yet. Believing someone is from
Sao Miguel would be like someone believing their ancestor was from
Nebraska. You could look there, but in reality, you need to search the
whole United States. To narrow your search in the Azores, check out this
how to on the Azores GenWeb here: https://goo.gl/b0IGW3


Hope something pans out for you.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Trying to trace the last name Secia in the Azores

[Kim S]

Hello - I am hoping someone can help me or point me in the right direction. 

My great-grand parents immigrated to the US in 1902 from the Azores (I 
believe Sao Miguel). My great-grandfather has a very uncommon name, Manuel 
Secia born est 1877 and my great-grand mother has an extremely common name, 
Maria de Mello born est 1868-1874, so both are hard to trace. I have looked 
for both and can not find the last name Secia in Portugal and I can not 
find a Maria de Mello around 1868-1874 that got married immigrated to the 
US. They did have one child in the Azores Mary J Secia 1901 before they 
immigrated but I can not find anything on the birth. I did take a DNA test 
and it has linked me to a couple distance cousins in the Azores with the 
last name of Goulart but we can not figure out how we are linked. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Freitas Mendonca Flores ancestors

[Cheri Mello]

Wendy,

DNA is another tool that we use. So glad it pointed you to Flores so you
can start researching there!

It seems to me that people on the list connect around 1800-18teens or so.
Once you get back another generation or two, you'll probably connect. Also
looks that way with your DNA matches too.

Once you make the connection with a list member or your DNA match, get them
into your tree and get the Gedcom over to FTDNA so you can eventually do
the Parental Matching.

I have only 2 DNA kits registered to your name. I think your dad is
missing. Please join him to the project.

Looks like your 2017 is off to a great start. Cheri

[AZORES-Genealogy] Freitas Mendonca Flores ancestors

[WPederson]

After having my gandmother and dad do DNA testing through FamilyTreeDNA, I 
was able to narrow down my Azorean ancestors to the island of Flores. 
 Since then I have found a previously undiscovered 1880 census (Murray, 
Alameda, California) for my gg grandfather Jose Freitas Mendonca (was 
incorrectly transcribed as Mundunco) that shows he was from Flores.  I've 
spent the holiday going through Flores baptismal records and found his 
baptismal record as well as at least 3 siblings, all with the same parents 
and grandparents.  I'm looking to connect to any descendants but have not 
found any through DNA matching that share family tree names, only Flores 
location.  Do any of these names match your ancestors?

Jose Freitas Mendonca b. 1859, baptized 31 Mar 1859, Fajãzinha, Flores, 
Azores naturalized 1888 San Benito County, California, d. 2 Apr 1897 
Panoche, San Benito, CA

Siblings-
Mariana Mendonca b.1863, baptized 2 Sept 1863, Fajã Grande, Flores, Azores 
married someone with the last name Joseph and lived at one time in 
Livermore, Alameda, CA
Thomazia Mendonca b. 1869, baptized 06 Jun 1869, Fajã Grande, Flores, 
Azores married someone named Vierra (Maybe Joseph F) and lived at one time 
in Watsonville, Santa Cruz, CA
Antonio Jose Mendonca b 1877 baptized 06 Sep 1877, Fajã Grande, Flores, 
Azores-believe he could be the same as Antonio Jose Mendonca that died 2 
Dec 1944, Atwater, Merced, CA

Parents-
Antonio Jose Mendonca, from Flores, Azores
Maria Ignacia, from Flores Azores

Possible Uncle-
Joao Freitas Mendonca b. 1822 d. 1 Mar 1890,  Fajã Grande, Flores, Azores

Paternal Grandparents-
Caetano Jose Mendonca from Flores, Azores
Ignacia Rosa from Flores, Azores

Maternal Grandparents-
