[AZORES-Genealogy] Alphabetizing Portuguese Surnames

2019-06-17 Thread 'Gerri Martin' via Azores Genealogy
I am sure this has been discussed before, but no matter how I searched I 
could not find an answer. I am working to "clean up" my family tree. I want 
to be consistent with surnames. I have some de Bettencourts for example 
showing under de, some under Bettencourt. I am tempted to ignore the de 
when alphabetizing, but my big stumbling block is my own maiden name. We 
went by De Salles.  Always under the letter D. I am thinking of not using 
the de for index purposed unless I know for sure the family used it in 
America - De Costa, De Freitas, De Salles etc. Any thoughts or advice would 
be greatly appreciated.

Gerri Martin

[AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel M Soares-Hayward ca

2015-02-21 Thread Gerri Martin
Hoping someone out there will recognize this man and help me discover the 
connection. 

My grandmother had a half-brother named Manuel Soares who lived in Hayward, 
California. I have not been able to locate a baptism to confirm the 
relationship. 
Here is the obituary for Manuel Machado Soares listing my grandmother Anna De 
Salles as a sister, and an Anthony Marshall as a brother. According to other 
records I found, his birthday was 25 Nov 1872 or 1871.
Death Notice
Nov. 8, 1948, Manuel M. Soares of Hayward: beloved husband of Filomina
C. Soares; loving father of Mrs. Mamie Lucas of Turlock. Calif., and
Filbert M. Soares, of Oakland, stepfather of Mrs. Laura Sequeira of Newman,
Calif. John Gomes of Hayward and Mrs. Adeline Parker of Oakland;
brother of Anthony Marsall of Oakland and Mrs. Anna De Salles of Hilmar,
Calif; also survived by 12 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.
A native of Azores Island aged 76
 
Anna Soares Bettencourt (my grandmother) born 11 Mar 1891 Santo Antonio Sao 
Jorge. Married Frank Salles in California Her parents were Joao Soares de 
Bettencourt, son of Domingos Antonio de Sousa and Maria de Bettencourt who was 
born about 1833 in Santo Antonio, Norte Grande, Sao Jorge, Azores, Portugal. He 
died on 31 Jan 1905 in Santo Antonio, Norte Grande, Sao Jorge. He married 
Vitorina Soares de Bettencourt, daughter of Manuel Jose de Bettencourt and Ana 
Severina Baptista on 28 May 1904 in Norte Grande, Sao Jorge  (Church of Nossa 
Senhora das Neves). I have not been able to locate his birth record, but have 
verified both death and marriage dates

If they were truly half siblings they must share a parent. 

Thanks in advance for any help

Glad to hear. Just a thought, suggestion. I use Carbonite, but there are many 
cloud backup programs available. $50 a year and in my opinion worth every 
penny. I also have an external hard drive that runs automatic backup. I have 
had a computer fail and with carbonate it literally only takes a click to

I have been looking for this man's baptism to no avail. His parents were 
Gregorio Goncalves and Maria December de Jesus. He was married to Carolina 
Bettencourt on July 17, 1911 in Terceira. He came to Massachusetts in 1911, 
and returned to Terceira a few years later. According to his granddaughter, 
his birthdate was July 15, 1886. According to ship records, it could be 
1884. Was hoping someone had him in their tree and could point me in the 
right direction. I have looked at all Altares baptisms from 1882-1887.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Marriage record help

2014-04-28 Thread Gerri Martin
I have been staring for an hour - time to ask for help I guess.

I think the year is 1671 because of previous entries on page, I think the 
day is Jan 18th. 

Groom Joao Coelho, Bride Beatriz de Melo

Her parents 
Sebastiao F Borges and Beatriz de Melo

His parents I cannot read, although I found a family tree on ancestry that 
says they are Maria Goncalves  Jose Rodrigues. I cannot make it out.

Hoping someone can confirm my date and help with grooms parents

It is bottom right page, 

Thank you so much

Gerri

 Machado on the island of Sao Jorge.  My thought is, if the 13 of s compared 
 notes and gedcoms, wouldn’t you think we could find the link?  My gedcom is 
 up on FTDNA and I know some of the others are as well.  Perhaps if the rest 
 of the 13 who do not have there gedcoms posted on FTDNA would post them, we 
 might find the link?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Reconciling records

Eric, I am trying to source the info you gave me with the records from 
Casais das Flores - your info says Manuel Jacinto Canhoto married Isabel de 
Jesus Encaracao 14 Jan 1847 - I can't find this marriage record. I did find 
this: Manuel Jacinto de Avelar [f.º de Manuel Jacinto Pimentel Canhoto e de 
sua 1. ª mulher Maria Joaquina ] c. 1847.08.14 c. Isabel de Jesus da 
Encarnação [f.ª de José Inácio Carvalho e de Maria de Jesus].

Locations 14704-14705).  . Kindle Edition.  

Note it is Aug 14 - is this the right record or is this another person - I 
am going crazy with all the Jacinto's and Canhoto's

 Gerri, 

 That's what the record says, that Matheus Jacintho and Izabel da Trindade 
 Jacintho are the parents of her father Matheus, however, my files have them 
 listed as Manuel Jacintho Canhoto and Isabel de Jesus Encaracao

 I'd chalk it up to a transcription error by the priest. I have many of the 
 original parish records for the other children of Manuel Jacinto Canhoto 
 from both his marriages. See below.



 Official de Sapateiro= official shoemaker , maybe means registered 
 shoemaker. 

 It says Filha legitimate e primeira do nome = legitimate daughter and 
 first of this name.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Surnames, middles names

2013-06-09 Thread Gerri Martin
How does one decide what to use as a preferred or primary name for a 
person? Baptism, marriage, death etc all list the same person with 
different (sometimes very different) surnames, middle names etc. Then if 
they come to this country, it starts all over again with different 
spellings etc. I was just wondering how experienced genealogists do. Is 
there a general consensus or rule they follow?

Thanks

Thank you so much for this information. It is a gold mine! I don't speak 
Portuguese, but find it very easy to decipher. Just want to make sure I am 
guessing right on this information:
 
Manuel Antonio de Vasconcelos [43 anos, n. Cedros, Santa Cruz das Flores, 
f.o de Jose Antonio de Vasconcelos, n. Lomba, Lajes das Flores, e de Maria 
Joaquina, n. Cedros, e ja v. de Maria Jesus Avelar, f. Lomba, Lajes das 
Flores] c. 1882.10.12 c. Maria de Jesus [44 anos, n. Santa Cruz das Flores, 
f.a de Joao Furtado Noia e de Maria de Jesus, e ja' v.a de Antonio Jose 
Ventura].
 
Does the e ja v mean widower of Maria Jesus Avelar, and the ja' v.a mean 
widow of Antonio Jose Ventura?
 
Thanks

 Hello all,

 Finally, Francisco Gomes has published his 'Casais das Flores e do Corvo' 
 book in e-book format. I suggested this to him recently after I saw the 
 website for the book disappear from the web. I was informed that he had 
 managed to sell all the paper copies, and I asked him to consider keeping 
 it 'alive' as an e-book.

 Even though I own the paper version, I bought one e-book, because of one 
 important factor that the paper version lacks: the ability to search. This 
 amazing book for anyone doing genealogy in Flores and/or Corvo requires you 
 to know the parish in which your ancestor decided to marry. With search 
 capabilities, that doesn't matter so much anymore. Also, it was only 
 possible to discover details using the name of the groom as the book was 
 indexed that way.

 You've got a choice of sites, with pros/cons:

 - Amazon (pro: Kindle, con: only Kindle) 
 http://www.amazon.com/Casais-Flores-Portuguese-Edition-ebook/dp/B00AQAOOF6
 - Lulu (pro: cheapest, con: Win/Mac Adobe Digital Editions only) 
 http://www.lulu.com/shop/francisco-gomes/casais-das-flores-e-do-corvo-extratos-dos-assentos-de-casamento-1675-1911/ebook/product-20563362.html
 - XinXii (pro: DRM-free, con: +$4.5 than Lulu) 
 http://www.xinxii.com/pt/casais-das-flores-do-corvo-p-339506.html

 I bought the XinXii version, as I prefer to have my e-books in a format 
 that I know I'll be able to open 20 years from now. If you decide to do the 
 same, please be responsible when sharing it in your family.. I'd like to 
 see the 'Famílias da Ilha das Flores (Vila das Lajes e freguesias da 
 Fazenda e do Lajedo)' book be re-published as an e-book one of these days, 
 and I don't see it happening if the author only sells one e-book copy.

 Best regards,

 João Ventura
