Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ancestors from Faial and Terceira 1800s
Dear Peggy: Let us start with the basics: The names and dates of birth of your gandparents, (their dates of birth might on their Massachusetts death record), place of birth (village, not just island (might be on their church marriage record, especially if they married in a Portuguese Catholic church.) Their Civil record in Massachusetts will state the name of the person who married them and his address, so that will allow you to determine if it was in a Catholic Church. The marriage (and maybe the death record) should give you the names of their parents. Once you have that, you can send away for their birth records which, given the time period, should also give you the names of their maternal and paternal grandparents. There are other avenues that could be explored. The Bureau of Vital Statistics in Boston is a great place, and if the records are old enough, they are on line. Newspaper obituaries in the Fall River Herald News, for example, became very detailed beginning in the forties. If you would like, you can send me what you have, privately, and I will suggest were you can go from here. Lester is right. Although hiring a genealogist is faster and more practical, especially if you do not know the languag and parish geography, it is so much more rewarding to do it yourself. Good luck!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ancestors from Faial and Terceira 1800s
Don't know if Peggy is still monitoring the list but I helped her find her US info off list and she is now working with an Azores researcher and has received quite a few of those records. As she learns more about the system, I am sure she will do some of her own online research. E -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
