[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Tree Maker FTM 16 Problem

2014-11-11 Thread bellemarco


 Bill and others, 


We tried what you sent to us as well as one we got off the net.  We managed 
to install FTM but it only shows one very short family file.  It does not 
list all the all the family files I originally had and the really BIG and 
most IMPORTANT one.  I have lost the last 2 1/2 years of what I put on 
FTM16 on my Windows 7 computer.  I had a backup but for some reason that 
got erased when we were trying to figure out what was wrong with Windows 7. 
 Unfortunately we had the backup plugged in when we were doing this and it 
erased everything on the disk.  Note to self:  NEVER do this again!! I do 
have all the previous 8 years of entries on my old Windows XP computer 
which we put on a memory stick and have been trying reinstall on my Windows 
7 computer ; it looks like FTM is installed??? but it only shows this one 
file which only has 5 names on it!! 

Any other ideas anyone??

Thank you.

Re: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree mechanics and design

2012-10-13 Thread bellemarco
It is my understanding by reading various media that Ancestry.com is for  
sale and may soon be bought out. There are a couple of companies interested  
in purchasing it and I do not know if they are American companies or not  
and, if not, wonder if they will keep main offices in this country. I  
believe they now have an international office in Ireland. Also, will be  
interesting what, if any, changes will be made if/when they are bought out.  
I have enjoyed using Ancestry.com for many years now but this will be my  
last renewal as I don't use it in my research anymore, mainly to help  
others on this list and other lists and it is no longer cost effective for  
me. Now that FHC is putting many of its records on line I use it more and  
more as a resource, free for now, but wonder if it will remain the same in  
the future.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker transferring data question

2012-10-09 Thread bellemarco
I finally found the time to transfer my updated Family Tree Maker family  
file to my mini from my laptop which I had not updated since we set up the  
computer in 1911. In transferring the info, the file on the mini said it  
could not open and copy because there was a file open. I do not know what  
they are talking about as there is no file open as far as I am concerned so  
that is my first problem. In the meantime, it let me open and copy and  
called the new file by same name No. 2 So now I have 2 FTW family files the  
old one without the updated info and the new one with all the new info I  
had input into my laptop and they are both now on my mini. I know this  
occupies a lot of space to have 2 and am considering the deleting first one  
and keeping the 2nd but am a little hesitant to do so. I cannot figure out  
what they mean that there is a file open on the first one when we tried  
to open and replace (1) instead of open and copy (2). Hope you understand  
all of this.


Second, I did my grandson in law's genealogy before he married my  
granddaughter in a FTW separate file. Now I would like to merge the two  
files. I made sure his name and my granddaughter's name are exactly the  
same in both files. How do I go about merging these two FTW files?


Thank you.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Manuel Rego Cabral

2012-09-30 Thread bellemarco

Thank you for your replies.

I found 3 or 4 Manuel Cabral's living in Tiverton in the census records. I  
have no idea which is the right one. I know the mother of the child and her  
family moved to New Bedford shortly after the birth of the child which  
makes me wonder if he was already married as he did not marry her and I  
would imagine her father would have probably insisted on this. Manuel Rego  
Cabral born in Sao Miguel is listed as the father on her baptism record. So  
far I have not found a birth record and it seems they used her baptism  
record to later obtain a marriage license. Will have to do more searching  
on this one. Is there a 1919 Tiverton RI directory?

listed. Here is the 1900 census info living in Eden, Alameda Co. CA:


Manuel J. Vargas 41, b. July 1878 b. Azores married 17 years (which means  
they married abt. 1883 - do you have their marriage record?) came to US 1879
wife Mary 35, b.May 1865, 9 children born, 9 children living b. Azores came  
to US 1870.
ch: Mary b. Apr. 1885; Annie b. July 1886; Manuel b. Dec. 1887; Joe b. May  
1889; Louie b. Oct. 1890; Frank b. Nov 1892; Will b. Apr 1894; George b.  
Feb. 1897; Fortune (son) b. Feb. 1897 (so I gather George and Fortune are  
twins). All children b. in CA.


I tried find his manifest record but so far no luck. If you do not have the  
marriage record, I would look for it.

If you are researching the USA - in the South circa Civil War, you get  
tired of hearing the courthouse burned down and no records are available.  
One county courthouse burned down 4 times!!
Some vets who try to obtain a copy of the DD214 have had to deal with the  
records being destroyed, if memory serves me correctly, by water  
damage.and so it goes. Also, I tried to get records for who was in WWI  
and they also were not available.

Bill,

I know we had to pay to for the food and glasses of wine every other time  
we have been there. I think it is $32.95 each for the event, not the wine,  
or $24.72 each for the event if you are one of their Wine Club members. The  
few times we went it was not quite as expensive. I could be wrong, you  
could always call to be sure. They also had music. I have seen children  
there when we went but I have not been there the past couple of years and  
we did not take children. We had a nice time when we did go.

Re: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Immigrant Ships

2012-06-13 Thread bellemarco
In helping others research, I found one who came to the US in the late  
1860's and it gave the reason they were coming here. Also, I have court  
documents of another case where they left Faial illegally (a ship from  
Faial chased their ship and didn't catch them - probably paid off) and  
entered the US illegally (under dark of night) with 41 passengers who were  
sent ashore on smaller vessels and took carts, trains, etc. to their  
destinations. There is no manifest of the passengers. So if your ancestor  
was on this ship, there is no way you would ever find him/her listed on a  
manifest. The only way they got caught in the US is one of the male  
passengers went into a bar shortly after landing and bragged about it and  
they charged the captain who ended up paying a $2000 fine.

Great family story, Katherine, I really enjoyed reading it. I might get  
brave enough and try this packet my sis gave me with some fish and see what  
happens. I am not fond of tuna, never really had it that I can think of, so  
I think I will try it with another kind of fish, maybe cod?? Then, again, I  
just might try it with pork now.


I wonder what my grandkids will remember about my cookingthen, again,  
they always tell me this is not how my dad makes it (my lucky daughter  
does not have to cook as her husband loves to cook - every meal). But they  
all love linguica and whenever I bring some over it is gone in one sitting.  
However, my sis tells me that California linguica does not taste like  
Massachusetts linguica. Well, these kids don't know MA linguica so they  
will remember the CA one.

Cindy,

I'm assuming you are searching Massachusetts. You can order online, I  
believe I paid $10. Tell them you want any and all papers. Declaration of  
Intention, Naturalization Petition, Certificate of Arrival, Oath of  
Allegiance. Since you have the number, etc. it will be easy for them to  
find it or they will tell you who has them. But don't be too surprised if  
it does not tell you where exactly in Sao Miguel he came from. Your best  
bet for this is to find his ship's manifest and that might tell you or then  
you can go to the CCA site and find the record there, IF it is online and  
that might give you that info, if nothing else it will probably give you  
his parent's names.


The people at NARA are very, very helpful.

help, but please be sure to send them a donation for their help as they

Mike,

I checked your family in 1920 censusit says Maria is married (not a  
widow, so either she did not know he died or he moved away)William is 1  
year old and they live on Rockland Street, S. Dartmouth. Joseph Pine's 1917  
WWI Draft Registration record says he is living on Rockland St. South  
Dartmouth. Correction, it says he has a throat affection whatever that  
means? Since he only lists a wife (no name) and lists no children and Wm.  
was born in 1918, it is possible this is him. Interesting Mary was  
bookkeeper at Col. Green Estate. A few years back, my cousin got married on  
a private beach in the area and we could see the Col. Green Estate from the  
beach.

There is a Joe C. Pine WWI Draft Registration Record (1917) living in  
Alameda County CA. He was born April 14, 1892 in Fayal, Azores. He had a  
wife named Rose. There is a 1951 Naturalization Card for this Joseph  
Correia Pine in Newark CA. Here it says he was born April 14, 1892. There  
is a Joseph Pine b. April 23, 1894 living in South Dartmouth in 1917 also  
b. in Fayal. It says he has a thoat affliction and he was working at the  
Gosnold Mills. It says he is married. There's a Joseph Pine b. Sept. 15,  
1892 in Sao Miguel, Azores, living in New Bedford in 1917 but his one says  
he is single.


There are several Jose Pinheiro Draft Registration Records living in CA/MA.

Then there is this ship's listName: Jose S Pinheiro
Age: 19
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1893
Birthplace: Salao?, Fayal Azores
Gender: Male
Ethnic Background: Portuguese
Arrival Date: 12 Sep 1912
Port of Arrival: Providence, Rhode Island
Port of Departure: Horta, Fayal, Azores, Portugal
Ship Name: Roma
Leaving his father Manuel Furtado da Rosa, Salao, Fayal, Azores- going to  
his brother in law Luiz Lopes, Providence RI


Do you know if he had a middle name? How sure are you that he died? Maybe  
she just left him and returned home? I just helped a girl with her ancestor  
and a few months ago she found out he had a 2nd family back East before he  
married her ggrandmother. She said he never spoke of this first wife and  
children. You can imagine she was elated to find her new found family.

My relatives in Sweden have ordered films from the FHC and it takes a

sent to the local FHC. However, remember that Joao Ventura can probably  
obtain this information ( him at a minimal charge and you don't pay until  
he finds them and I believe he has paypal now. Might be a lot less

Just a thought.

Michael,

Do you have their obits from New Bedford Public Library (2nd floor)? Did  
they belong to a local insurance society - this might be listed in the obit  
and it might give you where he came from? Someone on this list, her name  
slips my mind, might be able to help you with this. Have you checked this  
site https://news.arcasearch.com/usmaums/ which is UMass Dartmouth  
Newspapers Archives, choose Diario de Noticias, as that is the local New  
Bedford area one. I assume you have his ship's manifest (which did not list  
where he came from?) Did you get their marriage record from Vital Records  
in NB across the street from the Library. You have to pay $15-20 for this -  
BUT tell them you want it ONLY if they will give you the papers they filled  
out to obtain the license - don't do it just for a copy of the marriage  
certificate (unless you want it but info is very limited on it). There is a  
lot more info on the papers they filled out. Hopefully, the info you seek  
is there. It won't give you the parish, but it might (hopefully) give you  
the village. Depending on who you get there, they might not want to do this  
as I think they have to go to the basement of something to do it but if you  
ask VERY, VERY nicely, they usually oblige. They are very nice at both  
Library and Vitals.

able to find her on the Passportes CCA site and that should list her  
parents IF Terceira is listed there for that time frame on CCA. So her  
sister Maria Silva was already in the US I can email you the manifest from  
Ancestry if you would like. Would she have been married (what would be her  
married name?) or single by 1928 as that would help find her manifest for

Michael,

Re St. John's Cemetery, I know of cases where sometimes they were buried  
with cousins, in-laws, etc. I just had a cousin buried at St. John's not  
too long ago and I believe the gravesite was owned by one of her in-laws or  
a cousin or some such who had been buried there years ago but there was  
still an available plot. My aunt's husband is buried in our family plot...I  
have no idea why my aunt, other than the fact she wanted her husband buried  
with her, had him buried there as the spaces were suppose to be reserved  
for immediate family members. I know there are still 2 available plots and  
I am told her daughters will be buried in them. I know my mom and her other  
living sister had to give permission to my aunt to use these spaces quite a  
few years ago. I also have a brother buried with them and he has a  
different surname than the owner of the plots (my grandfather) and since my  
mom had remarried, we hyphenated both her marriage names to make the  
connection. Also, my great-grandmother's name is on the stone but she is  
not buried there. I was told way back when they would do this and send the  
body back to Portugal for burial.

any idea of what island they might have come from, birthyears (or close to

Re: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] SJ Conference April 21 Scarf Attendees List

OK Conference Attendees,

I have contacted Bela and her reply is below. If you have not already  
pre-registered with them could you please let me know by Tuesday (tomorrow)  
so I can give her your name and a count to make it easier for them, also  
regarding lunch which is $25.


So far, I have the following who ARE ATTENDING - and I need to know if you  
are pre-registered or not. If you are not pre-registered are you also going  
to be doing lunch?


Celeste
Elaine - Not Pre-Registered - Will be doing Lunch
Karen MH
Veronica

I need to hear from the following if you are ATTENDING OR NOT and if you  
are pre-registered. If you are still going and not pre-registered are you  
also going to be doing lunch?


Maggie
Rosemarie
Leonore
Betty

Any last minute new listers that would like to be included?

I will only give Bela the count that is confirmed above. If possible, could  
you please respond to my personal email addy - bellemarco at gmail dot com

It would be easier and better for all if reservations were made in advance  
as we will have name tags for everyone. Luncheon is critical that we have a  
good idea on how many people will be served as we MUST give the caterer the  
headcount on Wednesday and if more than 10% are added at the last minute,  
our fees go up substantially...


I would appreciate if you could give me a head count by tomorrow evening,  
and payment can be taken at the registration.


Thank you,

[AZORES-Genealogy] DNA Question..again

2012-03-12 Thread bellemarco
First of all, our cousin had 1-12 match, 60-25 matches, 18-37 matches - so  
far only one with the same surname. I am making some progress (not  
Portuguese) and we match only this one person with the same surname on  
12/25/37 - so am I correct in assuming that this is a pretty good match.  
They have not sent me their genealogy so I managed to do it myself and from  
my research, they share randfather's with my husband. I have since  
managed to contact 3 more researchers of this same family name, none to our  
direct line but to a couple of the same line we DNA matched and another to  
one of the other brothers of this line. They are going to participate in  
the DNA study and this should solidify my findings...I assume. My  
questions...do you think this one 12/25/37 same surname is a pretty good  
match and should we now proceed to a 67 upgrade? O wait until the other new  
found cousins test? I wish I could understand this DNA stuff but my weary  
brain just cannot get a grasp on it.


I have been at this family almost 10 years now and this is my first BIG  
breakthrough. This family is from the Southand I was from the  
North..


Thank you.

Shirl,

Definitely- Portugal, Azores. They forgot to cross the t. So not much  
help for you there. What a wonderful history and whoever did that research  
did a great job!! Lucky for you. I believe the hotel I stayed at in  
Terceira was/is owned by this family. I am sure you have checked Terceira  
for a birth record? For the daughter Adelina, it says she was born in  
Terceira. Interesting David Q Bensabet is buried at the Jewish Cemetery in  
Terceira. I have been there and took a picture from under the gate as it is  
usually locked. Once we went to Mass at a church in the area of Marylebone,  
London and wonder if it is this St. Marylebone? The priest was super nice  
and spoke with us after the Mass. Have you visited either London or  
Terceira yet. My ancestors were mechants from Lisbon, Portugal who went to  
London on numerous business trips and their sons were educated in London.


Today, in Lisbon, it seems most of my relatives want to send their children  
to French school in Lisbon

[AZORES-Genealogy] Need marriage help - Not Azorean

2012-02-29 Thread bellemarco

Hi All,

This is off topic but I am hoping someone on this list can give me some  
guidance. I found the following on Ancestry:


US and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900
Name: Eliza Jarratt
Spouse Name: James Mcneal
Number Pages: 1
Source Citation: Source number: 273.000; Source type: Electronic Database;  
Number of Pages: 1; Submitter Code: JWJ.
Source Information: Yates Publishing. US and International Marriage  
Records, 1560-1900 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com  
Operations Inc, 2004.
Original data: This unique collection of records was extracted from a  
variety of sources including family group sheets and electronic databases.  
Originally, the information was derived from an array of materials  
including pedigree charts, family history articles, querie. Description:  
This database contains marriage record information for approximately  
1,400,000 individuals from across all 50 United States and 32 different  
countries around the world between 1560 and 1900. These records, which  
include information on over 500 years of marriages, were extracted from  
family group sheets, electronic databases, biographies, wills, and other  
sources.


My husband's gggrandfather was James McNeil/McNeal b. abt. 1799 SC or GA.  
We know his wife's name is Eliza from census records. We are trying to find  
out if this Eliza Jarratt could be her but Ancestry only give the above  
info. How do I find out where to find out more on this marriage?


Thank you.

Thank you all for your replies. Someone did send me the marriage record.  
Not the date I was looking for but maybe she was his 2nd wifeI have  
been searching Ancestry trees, etc. and have finally tied into other family  
members. Many of the records I have tried to obtain were burned with the  
courthouse. Some courthouses in the South burned 3 times or more! My  
husband's cousin (same surname) did do a DNA study for us and he matches  
someone who we contacted and he replied but he did not furnish any  
genealogy and has since been silent but I was finally able to find his  
family and I now know my husband's mother shares the same gggrandparents  
(not sure of their names). She is from the brother James and he is from the  
brother John. My husband's cousin matched this same person on 12, 25 and 37  
markers so we know they are from the same family. Will still keep searching  
but I am content in knowing we finally know we have found our family -  
only took over 7 years!!!
