Ginny,
After I stopped laughing, I went to Wikipedia. It said that NY had licenses
issued to chauffeurs starting 1 Aug 1910. New Jersey was first state to require
a driving test in July 1913.
Thanks for giving me a good chuckle. Hope the history lesson helps the
conversation.

Hi Cheri,
In those days they had a warm body registry. As long as you did not assume
room temperature you got a license. Seriously they probably did not have
licenses when he started to drive.

I have also found in a lot of documents that my ancestors could not
read or write. But still today i have a Godfather, born on Sao Miguel
island in 1935, immigrated to Canada, got his drivers licence ( i also
believe it was something he paid under the table for) and completed
lists of things to do
My grandfather had a drivers license. I remember helping him study for it
when I first learned to read. They had pictures of the road signs and I
can't remember, but I would assume he took an oral test. He never signed
his name.
My grandmother learned how to read and write when she came to
Thank you, George. If anyone would know it would be you. They are related
then to my Mom's father's side (Benevides Sousa) from Bretanha, correct? Now I
just need to know how to link them up to my findings. If I can get over to the
FHC in Dartmouth someday soon maybe you can help me. Thanks
What does any one think of the possibility that the name Almo, was shortened
from Anselmo? Just wondering
Thanks,

Anything is possible. In the US Anselmo has been changed many times but
usually just the vowels or first letter. Even in the Azores lists sometimes

There is one listing on the site. Did you see it?
I set up two DNA projects on Ancestry.com: Azores Y-DNA and Azores mtDNA.
If you tested with Ancestry and bought only 1 test, their DNA set up sort of
works. Sort of.
I have the Ancestry subscription. My name is Cheri, a female. However, I
entered my dad's male (Y-DNA) results. Ancestry
This has all been pretty interesting. My grandfather went
back to the Azores after fathering 11 children. He died
there. I have no idea if he ever learned to read and write
but; I know my grandmother did not. Yet she owned a home in
CA, raised her 11 children by herself or I should

I have to say that this thread has given me some good giggles...
Anyway though, I just got off the phone with the California DMV. Driver's
licenses weren't required until 1913 and verbal and aduio tests can be given
as well as having an interpreter. Reading is not a required skill. You just

Dolores,
On the WWI draft records for the US I noticed most of the Almo's from the
Azores seemed to be from Terceira rather than San Miguel. There seems to be
some Scandinavians with the name also.
I always wonder if the Anselmo came from an Italian since that is common in
part of Italy.

You'll find this name all Catholic Europe. It's a saints name , of course
Saint Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109) was the outstanding Christian

Elaine,
I don't know why you have to sign in on some records Family Search, but you
do.
As for as I can tell, it's just an index that says William Chadwick married
a Foley in 1889 in Philadelphia. It's not the actual marriage itself.
You'd want the license for them. That would have the
