Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares Vila Franca do campo

I’m going to dig a bit further on the Releza Soares side 
I’m going to see if I have any records for them. Do you have any records for 
these names in Vila Franca?

this Antonio Soares Raleza is the brother of Manuel Soares Raleza; Also 
found record where Francisco Soares (married Antonia Julia), father of both

Priscilla,

There's no link.

Since the title of this email is "Releza, Antonio Soares," I suggest you
start a new email/thread titled something like "Virginia b.  Vila
Franca, Sao  church." Then post your request.

If you are starting to see names, you're getting the hang of it. It takes
practice, but you'll soon start to get more and more of the documents.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares

[Cheri Mello]

Hi Priscilla,

On Sao Miguel, you need to know an ancestor that was born, married, or died
in 1905 or 1910 or before. It depends on the freguesia.

Let us pretend you have an ancestor who married in 1903 in Vila Franca (Sao
Miguel Arcanjo/Matriz). You go to that marriage book in 1903 (they are
online) and you look for your ancestors names. Once you find them, it will
say that they are the son or daughter of ___. And where they are from.
You follow the paper trail back from there.

Use Tombo.pt to navigate. It's much easier to use than the Centro do
Conhecimento dos Azores (CCA) site. Tombo.pt will link you there once you
are done navigating.

1) Tombo.pt
2) Left column: You can type Vila Franca do Campo in the search box. Or you
can scroll down the left column to Acores, then Sao Miguel, then Vila
Franca do Campo (concelho), then Vila Franca do Campo (itself), then pick
the church.
3) Look for the series or record set: baptism, marriage, or death. Vila
Franca has some indices too for certain time periods. They are a little
hard to use online, but it will definitely save time.
4) Click on what you want and Tombo.pt links you to the book on the CCA
site.

[Priscilla Sousa]

This is amazing how do you do this? I’m finding that I don’t know where to
start I have a family tree in My ancestery but it’s pretty much based on
what I know not what I’ve researched. Is there a site that teaches people
how to work on their family tree and genealogy? I can’t thank you enough
for your help all of this now is starting to make sense. Based on the
stories that I’ve heard reading these names and making the connections is
absolutely amazing

 Priscilla,

 I checked your results on Family Tree DNA. You have no tree up for your
 matches to look at. You really need a tree up so the Parental Matching
 feature can be activated.

 If your parents are alive, talk them into DNA testing. If any of your
 grandparents are alive, talk them into DNA testing. The more relatives that
 you test, the more that we "stack the deck" in your favor. I don't know
 what the Portuguese expression for that would be.

 Your matches seem to indicate that you have both Vila Franca lines and
 Ribeira Quente lines. You need to get those sorted out. What you start
 working with what you know, the unknown will start to come into focus.

 I don't know who your comment was directed towards. We have 2000 or so
 people on this list. To find out if the person is matching you on FTDNA,
 just run their first name or their last name through the search box and
 take a look.

 I will be on Sao Miguel in July and can meet up with you and show you
 how to maximize your results on FTDNA. You'll need your tree up. Make a
 Gedcom from your genealogy software program and upload it to FTDNA. Thanks,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares

[Cheri Mello]

Hi Priscilla,

Yes, you can make a Gedcom. Go out on the Internet and type: gedcom
ancestry.com OR gedcom myheritage.com

You will find links on how to make a Gedcom. Once you make it, save it
somewhere, like your Desktop. Then log into FTDNA. Click on your My Family
Tree button and upload it there (it will tell you that you are going to
override what is there, which is nothing). If you have problems, send me
the file and I will upload it for you.

Yay, you got your great-grandmother's DNA! That is wonderful! Be sure to
add her to the Azores DNA Project. We will be able to active the Parental
Matching. Over time, get any of your living grandparents and your parents
too. It helps "stack the deck" in your favor.

This is your lucky day. They appeared in Vila Franca index. In the marriage 
record, Manoel Soares did not use Raleza. However, he may have used that 
name when he had children. You can see that Maria Jose got her name from 
her father, Jose Ventura.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares

[Priscilla Sousa]

 Thankful that you got back to me I did not know that there was over 2000
people in this group I am so sorry. I am so very new to all of this I
started off on ancestery I have a tree on there and on my heritage. Is it
possible that I can transfer my trees to family tree DNA? Also this week I
did a test on my great grandmother sister who will be 100 years old next
month on the ninth .  Now just waiting for the results she’s from  Vila
Franca do campo

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares

[Cheri Mello]

Priscilla,

I checked your results on Family Tree DNA. You have no tree up for your
matches to look at. You really need a tree up so the Parental Matching
feature can be activated.

If your parents are alive, talk them into DNA testing. If any of your
grandparents are alive, talk them into DNA testing. The more relatives that
you test, the more that we "stack the deck" in your favor. I don't know
what the Portuguese expression for that would be.

Your matches seem to indicate that you have both Vila Franca lines and
Ribeira Quente lines. You need to get those sorted out. What you start
working with what you know, the unknown will start to come into focus.

I don't know who your comment was directed towards. We have 2000 or so
people on this list. To find out if the person is matching you on FTDNA,
just run their first name or their last name through the search box and
take a look.

I will be on Sao Miguel in July and can meet up with you and show you how
to maximize your results on FTDNA. You'll need your tree up. Make a Gedcom
from your genealogy software program and upload it to FTDNA. Thanks, Cheri
Mello, Family Tree DNA Admin (volunteer), Azores DNA Project

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares

[Cheri Mello]

Hi Priscilla,

You can transfer your AncestryDNA to Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). The Azores
DNA Project is on FTDNA. The transfer and all your matches are free. The
ethnicity estimates and other tools are $19 USD.

I don't know which company you used for your great-grandmother's sister. If
it is a company that uses saliva, it may be hard for her to make enough.
The swab test (FTDNA and My Heritage uses) is much easier. It's a big Q-tip
inside of the cheek!

There's a cluster of matches from Vila Franca do Campo starting to form in
the Azores DNA Project over on FTDNA.

Sorry, I didn't address your question completely,

This site is in laymen's terms is the index site for the Archives.

There's a *basic* search option

http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/

And an *advanced* option which is in English

http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/search

Search

In this page you can locate and retrieve existing documents in the Archive.
The page is divided in two sections: basic filters - destined to the casual
user with few knowledge about the structure of descriptive information data
and advanced filters - where it can combine different possibilities and
search criteria.
Basic filters

In the "basic filters" section the user may select the search terms and/or
the documents production dates. The option "inclusive dates" allows search
records whose dates are in the defined extreme dates in the search
criteria. You may also indicate if you only want to search records with
associated digital representations, meaning only to show the documents
which digital version can be consulted online through the Web.

These files are not digitised.  You may hire someone to copy its contents
for you or contact the Public Archives to see if they will do it for you.
Please be specific as to what your connection and search is about.

What should you expect? The content is legal and it could be related to the
Estate that either was left without a will that need proper direction or
litigation involving the same.

That site is some kind of "back door" of the CCA. It's somewhat like a card

Antonio Soares Raleza shows up in a process in the Archive of Ponta

There's one other process for a Manuel of the same surnames

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares

[Nancy Couto]

Fernando,

Is it possible that the Raleza surname was originally an alcunha and that
the spelling has changed? The word "realeza" means "royalty" in both
Portuguese and Spanish. Maybe one of Mr. Soares' ancestors was a descendant
of royalty, or acted as if he was. Just a guess.
