Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Avila, Borba, Azevedo, Nunes, Machado from Brazil and Sao Jorge island
I also have ancestors from Sao Jorge. My great grandparents were married in St.Catharina church, Calheta. There used to be a big family reunion in Gustine my grandfather and his siblings used to go to. My grand father was George Silva and his father was Jorge da Silva. Jorge was traveling with cousins who got off in Brazil. He continued on to San Fran. He married Arminda Aurora Luis. Jorge's parents were Joao Faustino da Luz, His wife was Maria Inacia da Silviera. Jorge's three brothers were in Calif eventually. Joao's mother was Isabel Angelica do Coracao de Jesus. No father has been found yet. Arminda Luis parents are as follows Manual Luis Sineiro and Maria Isabel Dias. Manual's father was Luis Jose Fagundes and his wife was Antonia Jaconta. Still researching the lines but I have been told Avila, Bettencourt, Borba, Pimental, and a few others are related. I haven't found the connections and my mother is starting to forget things. If any lines cross drop me a line.

It is difficult to do so because my grandfather died in 1929, and my mother was only 10 years old. Her Aunt was Mary Avila (Avilla), who was married to John Borba. In the History of Stanislaus County book, his last name is listed as Azevedo. I understand John Borba came to the United States from Brazil. To my understanding all the children from his marriage are deceased. My great grandfather was Joseph Machado Avila (Avilla). He was from Sao Jorge. He married Isabelle Conceicao de Nunes. Their sons with the exception of one carried the Machado middle name. My Grandfather was George Machado Avila (Avilla). I shared the Avilla, because the family was uncertain about the spelling of the last name, and when doing my research, I need both names. My mother is Annabelle Avila (Avilla). She was born on my Great Grandfather’s ranch in Crows Landing, California. Her name is the combination of two Avila Aunts: Anna and Belle Avila. My Grandmother was from Gustine, California, but she was not Portuguese, therefore, after my Grandfather died in an automobile accident on the Pacheco Pass, my Grandmother distanced the children and herself from the Avila family. This may not be helpful to anyone, but I thought I should share this information.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA Relationship of 13 people on list
Sam, I read this list all the time. I've done my DNA test for the female line but not family finder yet. My mother is a Silva through her father. She is from Manteca/Escalon, Calif area. My 2nd great grandmother is Maria Inacia da Silveira born in 1853 Calheta, Sao Jorge. Her spouse was Joao Faustino de Luz. Her mother (my 3rd great grandmother) was Marianna Inacia Silveira born Aug 26 1820 Ribeira Seca. Maria's father was Joao Silveira Nunes. Mariana Inacia Silveira's parents I have listed as Isabel Silveira s. Pedro and Manuel Michado Mendonca Borba. I don't have birth dates for all the parents or grandparents yet. I'm a slow reader of the baptism, etc pages. Does any of your Silveira line have any of these Silveira names listed? I have my family on tribalpages.com. I don't know how to do Gedcom, post my DNA results, or even understand them. I saw your post that had Silveira and the correct island so I thought I would ask. Thanks for your time.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] would they?
Michael, I have a similar situation with my great grandfather. He came here supposedly in 1898. The only vessel for that year is a schooner from his island Sao Jorge to Provincetown, Ma. There are names that look like his brothers, but he is now where on the list. They are all probably related somehow since it is a small island. The lady in New Bedford, Ma helping me said that not all ships manifests have been done. We could not find info on the schooner so seeing if he was crew has not been found either. We checked other records that say he came here in 1898 but they do not record the actual date or how. We checked the whale men out of New Bedford he is not there so he did not work in that field. The search continues. He is found in 1906 when he brought his new bride here. They went to New Bedford. Trying to find out how long they stayed in New Bedford and with whom and how they got to California. He has a common name as well Jorge Faustino da Silva, 1880-1950 son of Joao Faustino da Luz. Keep searching it will be found.

A recommendation; Joao just finished obtaining records for me as well. The first steps in breaking through my current brick wall. He found exactly what I requested and was extremely quick getting my records. I thought it would be slower, like those of us in Oklahoma. I got a packet today, but have yet to open my mail. ( Not home long enough. My son also wrote from boot camp. It's a great day for mail.) I tried for months to do it myself and got very lost, who went where with what name.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Sao Jorge family names
To all, Talked to my mom about the name issue. She said that Ava Arminda said they changed their names on purpose. This may not be for every family, but this is what she was told. They were really poor in the Azores, so when they came to America they felt rich and they wanted rich names so they changed their names to be wealthy Americans. They were so very proud to be called Americans. They kept their heritage but the names were changed. When they went home to visit, the family in the village expected them to have a festa. The visitor showed their wealth by paying for the festa. We have pictures of an aunt paying for her festa. The celebration was a large one. This is a family story of what was expected. It may not have been that way with all families but it might explain some of the name issues. I do not understand it, but I don't know all the issues associated with it either.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Da Silva family on Sao Jorge Island
Adair, This might be a cousin link somehow. I wish my grandmother had let us meet the family and maybe this would really not be as tough in trying to find info. The Cenus records have my great grandparents in the town of San Joaquin in 1920 and 1930. They have my great grandmother's name spelled wrong. They have my great grandfather and my grandfather's name as Geo Silva. My g uncle is listed as Willie Silva. Other names are spelled incorrect at that time as well. My mother Evelyn Catherine Silva was born around 1940 in the Manteca area. She tells me her grandparents lived out in Merced county, but not specifically where. They are buried outside of Escalon. Her father's birth records are from San Rafael. Her father was a topper for one of the lumber companies when she was a child. Do you have any family that worked in the lumber industry? I do know that the Silva side of our family would have an annual reunion in Gustine every summer. I never attended it though. I will go through some of my pictures and see if any have Borba for a name. I use Archives.com, so I have the records I have found attached to the person in my tree it goes to. What sites have you used to get information from Sao Jorge? I use a translator on my phone to translate for me. My husband thinks I am crazy to be searching, but I am determined to find the line.

He told me we share the same great-grandparents. He also asked if I had the copies of birth certificates of his great-grandparents, he would like to see them. Still a bit skeptical, I sent them on, after all, what harm could it do, they have been gone for over 50 years. He returned my email with a thank you and a photograph of my great-grandmother. Still, I kept thinking how do I know this is who he says it is, so I forwarded the picture to our only living grand-daughter, who confirmed that it was her grandmother! The cousin in Brazil and I have set up a family tree (through MyHeritage.com) and it has been wonderful. We have most of the branches from our great-grandparents put together. Everyone keeps in touch and shares old and recent pictures. We had two weddings this year, one in Sao Miguel and one in California. The mothers of the brides are first cousins and had no contact with each other previously. It is amazing to look at our family tree as the branches have reached Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, California, New Jersey, Toronto, Canada, mainland of Portugal, and still a branch in Sao Miguel. Facebook has also made it very easy to keep in touch. This has been very rewarding and I have received many thank yous from family members. Bottom line, never give up hope.

E Sharp in California adopted me immediately (See her entries below.) and provided me with all sorts of leads. One of these leads was an obit that led me to a woman who turned out to be the widow of my cousin. This widow then got me to my deceased cousin's other cousin who turned out to be my half-sister, the only remaining child from my father's first family. She is still alive and at 92 is living in MA. Her daughter, my half-niece, contacted me and we have already established a close bond. After the family circulated the info among the whole family, I heard from 2 more half-nieces. Everyone I've heard from has been very gracious, warm and receptive to the surprise info that I've provided them. (To this point, everyone thought that my father, their grandfather, had died long ago. They didn't know about me and his second family.) We have exchanged family pictures, have seen family resemblances, and have made tentative plans to visit here in VA and in MA. Everyone wants to keep the new bigger family connected.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] transferring genealogy programs
Reading the posts, another site that I use is TribalPages for keeping a copy of my family tree. A distant cousin suggested it. I love that I can put notes and pictures all together for the person. It is free up to a certain point and after that the annual fee is relatively low compared to ancestry. This is not for everyone and others connect it with their FB. It is just another tool. I have all my files saved to a memory stick. So far no compatibility issues with any computer. I have one I use on trips. I can use it anywhere I go to save records on a computer. It just makes it easier for me. If I get a new computer I just open and continue on. I have had no file or program issues yet. Have never used a Mac. So that might be different. I have a couple of programs that I use one is Legacy, but I don't really like it. A lot of genealogists maybe farther ahead in their knowledge than I am. I just thought this might help.

My great grandmother Arminda Aurora Luiz(s)went through Ellis Island. She married Jorge Faustino da Silva in the Azores. Sao Jorge, Calheta, Santa Catherines(?) in 1906, then she came to America. I have not found the records for Jorge, just his citizenship in Calif. It is under George F Silva in San Rafael, Ca My Grandfather, George Faustine Silva was born on Feb 24, 1909 in San Rafael, Ca. He was a logger above Sonora before becoming a janitor in the Valley. He had a broken back from falling off the tank house as a kid. Jorge (George) and Arminda eventually had a small dairy in the Merced area. If I get that info correct according to my mom. She has talked about other properties her Uncles had that are now gone. My mother, Evelyn, was baptized, but the records burned, she had to find the 90 year old priest to confirm it. That is on record in Chowchilla's Catholic Church. She was born in a barn on the dairy. My Great Uncle used to donate the beef for the Manteca Festa years ago. My mom was raised in Manteca and Stockton and went to St. Mary's high school in Stockton, Ca. I was born in Stockton, but I grew up in Porterville, Ca. I was told there used to be a family gathering every year in Gustine. I have old pictures of relatives but I don't know who they are. I never really talked to Avo George about his family, never saw cousins. My mom has though. She says we are related to Silva, Pimentel, Borba, Luis(z), Diaz. They are cousins she says. Now I have to put the puzzle together. Hopefully I can find some cousins I don't know. I have been taking my Grandfather's siblings and trying to get that info because it is all California. That is why I listed them. I am starting to chip at the ancestral part that goes back to cousins in New Bedford Mass and to the islands.

They had four children- Richard, Evelyn, George and Mary. Arminda told my mother how her family left Terciera in the middle of the night. Her father either was a Captain of or worked on one of the slave ships. They then went to Calheta, Sao Jorge. If anyone can send any information it would be greatly appreciated.

Adair, I had the port of entry wrong. They both came into New Bedford, Mass in 1906. Jorge had been here earlier arriving in 1898.
