[AZORES-Genealogy] DNA question

[Elizabeth Migliori]

Hi,

If some of the people on the family finder have the little red mother
person next to them (representing that you connect through the mother)
And others have nothing  why is that?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Flores Family in Calheta, Sao Jorge

[Mary Bordi]

My grandmother's first cousin married a Joaquim Flores. I just recently
found his birth on July 9, 1868 in Topo Sao Jorge. His parents were
Constantino Jose Flores and Maria Silveira. I'm out of contact with that
side of the family and so far I have not connected via DNA test with any of
his wife's relatives (I would be related to her, not to him).

Until I found indications that he was from Topo I did not even suspect he
was from Sao Jorge because, as you mention, the name is not common. At
least I haven't seen it on the other end of the island where my ancestors
came from.

Latin helps. Or even any of the Romance languages (Spanish, Italian,
French). All verbs have a conjugation pattern. The adjective is after the
noun. Nouns have genders. You just learn that son is "filho" instead of
"hijo" from high school Spanish. Even those who weren't required to take a
foreign languagethe documents follow a format. You learn the format and
few keywords. With some perseverance, it can be done!

Re: Re.: [AZORES-Genealogy] Menezes genealogy, Sao Miguel

[kerrysullivan67]

The children, as I know them, of Jose da Costa and Luzia Ledo were: (I 
located this on both passenger lists and the outgoing passport lists on the 
CCA site, the passports were issued on 21 Nov 1919)

Maria de Conceicas Menezes, born about 1895
Maria des Anjes Menezes, born about 1896
Maria de Merces Ledo Menezes, born 5/28/1903 (I think, there is some 
question about the year of her birth, but it's between 1902 and 1905)
Luzia Agueda Ledo Menezes, born about 1906.

I am still trying to find out what happened to the other sisters after they 
arrived in the U.S. in December of 1919.  They landed in New Bedford; Maria 
de Merces, or Mercedes as she was called, married her cousin Jose da Costa 
Menezes (son of Alberto da Costa Menezes in 1920.  They moved to Cambridge, 
Massachusetts the following year.  I know that Luzia went with them; she 
and her father are living with Joseph and Mercedes in 1930 and I know that 
Mercedes and Louise, as Luzia was called here, remained close through the 
1930s and 1940s.  Mercedes died 12/9/1983.  Her husband died 3/11/1972, 
both in Cambridge.  I am working on finding the other sisters.  I believe 
also that a brother, Angelo, remained in Ribeira Grande, at least in 1919. 
 Family tradition has it that Luzia Ledo and possibly other of her children 
died in the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918-1919, I do not know if this is 
true.  

I greatly appreciate you telling me that their freguesia was Matriz!  I 
have found some of the baptismals and the marriage of Luzia Ledo. I do not 
speak Portuguese but my old school-time Latin is helping me, and my 
brother-in-law is Brazilian and has offered to help as well!

I will keep you posted as I find things!

I've read it and it's helped me understand this DNA stuff and the
terminology tremendously.  I gained a much better understanding of my DNA
results. It also helps on how to use the features at the three major DNA
testing companies to analyze your results.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Godparents in a Vila do Porto, Santa Maria record

[Denis Meals]

In looking at baptism records of Vila do Porto, Santa Maria island, I need
some clarification as to the Godparents in the attached right side, bottom
record.

I see the following: Godparents Luís António Maximo Pereira and Leonor
Maxima Pereira, residents of São Miguel, by proxy [*representatives for, or
represented by*] Manoel Barbosa Pacheco and Dona Maria Mequelina da
Conceição, sister of the baptized.

Is the first couple representing the second, or the reverse?
