DNA could help you.

My great grandfather was a 'filho de pai incognito'. we confirmed who the
father was. Now, his father was also a 'filho de pai incognito'. Rumours
were passed through the generations about who the father might be, so i am
trying to find living descendants of this person to crosscheck with DNA.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Unknown Parents...Dead End?

Hi Leana,

Have you done any DNA testing yet? In cases where you’ve got a “pai incógnito “ 
this might help you to bridge the gap by finding someone who is related. 

The trick will then be trying to piece together a paper trail, if that’s even 
possible.

I’m on my smartphone so can’t look at the links you provided. But, since there 
are usually multiple people on a page you should provide us with their name, as 
Cheri pointed out earlier.

Good luck!

I’ve got a g-g-g-grandfather who is Pai Incognito that I’ve been trying to get 
by. DNA tests suggest I’m related to Anthony Sizer. But, there’s no paper trail 
to follow. :-(

Robert

Leana,

Genealogy is concerned with 3 things: A name, a date, and a place. You have
not provided any name. You just keep referring to 3 great grandma which
does not help the reading audience help you.

No, the churches do not remember families from long ago. If you are
Catholic, you see how the priests change at your local church. Same thing
there. The priest at the church where my ancestors immigrated from on Sao
MiguelHe's from Brazil. And he's younger. So he won't be remembering
anyone from my family. Maybe someone in the village who is 80 or 90 today
might remember some of my family. Maybe they were 6, 7, 8, when someone
died in the 1930s. If you are asking for someone to remember a person born
in 1850s or 1860s, it's quite unlikely.
Good luck!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Unknown Parents...Dead End?

[LCardozaDalton]

Hello! It has been a family mystery why my 3rd Great Grandmother's parents 
were.  We knew she was "adopted" because her parents were not married.  It 
was our understanding that she was raised by her father's side of the 
family.  I'm fairly confident that this may be her baptism record: 
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FAL-HT-MATRIZ-B-1854-1860/FAL-HT-MATRIZ-B-1854-1860_item1/P139.html
I'm also fairly certain that this is her marriage record: 
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FAL-HT-PEDROMIGUEL-C-1860-1891/FAL-HT-PEDROMIGUEL-C-1860-1891_item1/P116.html

I will be visiting the Azores this summer.  I don't read or write 
Portuguese.  Do you have any advice as to how I might track down more 
clues?  I've been told that some of the churches still remember certain 
families from long ago...
Thank you,
Leana
