I don't think any of your Perrys sound familiar, but I will forward your

Hi all.
Every once and a while I come across a record were I find information which
I do not expect. The record list the parents with this wording Joao Joaquim

Jacinta Candida is the second wife of Joao Joaquim Carvalho.
FYI - Portugal considers all descendants of folks born in Portugal to be
citizens of Portugal. All one needs is an unbroken paper trail back to
your ancestor who was born there and you can become a dual citizen of
Portugal and the US. My father was born in Sao Miguel and after gathering

That is interesting information to know. From what I have read though, I
thought that you would only be eligible to obtain Portuguese citizenship or
dual citizenship if a parent or grandparent was born in Portugal (up 2 to
generations worth). In other words, if your great-grandmother was born
I also seem to have misunderstood my local Portuguese Consul. He told me that I
needed to be either the son or grandson of a Portuguese citizen in order to
become a Portuguese citizen. I qualified and became a citizen; the process only
took two weeks but getting a passport and identity card
Hi Mary Ann,
I live in the Bay Area, but I do know where both parts of the Perry/Silva
family lived.
The first was Jose de Freitas da Silva and his second wife Caroline Pereira

I understood the same thing John Raposo did. I'm the great-granddaughter
of the immigrant, so I don't qualify. My dad would have to become a
Portuguese citizen. He's not interested. They don't have a bridge to
drive his motor home/recreational vehicle there, so he's not going anywhere
except
I miss-spoke when I said all descendants. I believe it's only the first
two generations that are eligible but I didn't ask about that since I was
the first generation and my children would be the second. I don't know if
my grandchildren could become dual citizens based on my citizenship or
Didn't we have something about this dual citizenship sometime back? I was
thinking someone said there were some other requirements. I will try to
find what it takes.
I qualify for second generation

I read something quite a while back. It mentioned that you had to be able

Is it just me or do they only use the first name for females? In looking
for my Grandmother I find plenty of Maria's ( yes probably the most popular
Portuguesa name ) But I haven't found many records with a middle name. Now

Does any one out there know a good source to learn European as opposed to

Yes, all the baptism are by first name only. The 2nd name came later in
life.
In the reading of the records, it seems that the names come first. Then

To reach the widest audience, you are better off sending the link to the
CCA web site. That way, all 1100+ people on this list will be able to
read the record. On my computer, I cannot enlarge your image at all. It's
microscopic.
Also, make it as easy on the translators and those
Tony S,
I learned it was called continential Portuguese.
I'm sure everyone has their favorite. I bought cassette tapes back in the
day that came with a course book. It was the Living Language series.
Google: living language continental portuguese
Amazon.com sells it still on cassette or CD.
Yes, we did have this discussion some time ago--I was part of that
discussion because I had gotten the information and had spoken with the
Portuguese consul at that time in San Francisco. I have recently spoken
with the current consul, who confirmed my understanding.
