Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Searching Soares/Menezes on San Miguel Island in late 1800's

2017-03-27 Thread SNarducci07 
I actually knew it was Sao Miguel, but in my great-grandma's naturalization 
papers she names it as San Miguel, so I thought maybe that's what the 
called it, haha. Maybe it was just typed in incorrectly. I did find 
Thereza's naturalisation papers, which is my great-great-grandma, but it 
doesn't list who her parents are and that's essentially what I'm searching 
for.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Searching Soares/Menezes on San Miguel Island in late 1800's

2017-03-25 Thread Cheri Mello 
Staci,

For your records, the island is Sao Miguel, one of the Azores. San Miguel
is an island off the coast of California.

You have names and dates, but need a specific place. For more how to, go to
the Azores GenWeb here: https://goo.gl/vOijK0

The outbound ships lists from Sao Miguel to Hawaii are lost. In "Portuguese
Immigants to Hawaii" compiled by Edgar C. Knowlton, Jr. on page 415, for
the Swanley, Dec. 12, 1909, it says:
69) Manuel I. Menezes, 35
70) Thereza, 26
71) Maria, 12
72) Antonio, 10
73) Maria C, 8
74) Maria 1

Find out which one of those people naturalized. The one who leaves the
biggest paper trail is where you are most likely to find an answer.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Searching Soares/Menezes on San Miguel Island in late 1800's

2017-03-25 Thread SNarducci07 
I've just recently started researching my families genealogy. Most lineages 
I can trace back pretty far, but my father's maternal line stops at my 2nd 
great-grandparents who are from San Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. I have 
a decent amount of information but lack the know-how and skills to really 
know what to do next. I would love to get the names of my 3rd 
great-grandparents. My 2nd great-grandparents are Theresa Soares Menezes 
(Soares is her married Surname I do believe), I've seen she signed her name 
as Thereza J. Menezes as well, she is also known as Maria Theresa Soares 
and was born January 1, 1883, on San Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. Her 
husband was Manuel Soares Menezes born about June 1875 on San Miguel Island 
as well. They were married on that island at about 1897. They had 4 kids 
born in San Miguel; Mary Theresa Soares, Antone Soares, Constance Soares, 
and Minnie Soares (my great-grandmother). They then immigrated to Honolulu 
on the S.S. Swanley and arrived on December 14th, 1909. They had 2 more 
children in Hawaii; Evelyn and Ann Soares. They then moved to California 
and had one more child John Soares. They continued living in San Jose, 
Santa Clara County, California until they both passed away. I only have the 
date of Theresa Soares death and not Manuel's. Is there any way to find the 
names of either of their parents? I have 2 sources claiming the surnames 
Fernandez (Theresa's father) and Jesus (Theresa's mother, though I know 
this is likely a religious name and not a surname), I have no information 
for Manuel's parents.
Thank you!
