It just dawned on me that I can connect them by looking for the children of the Thomas on that other person's tree over in Peabody, Massachusetts and finding them that way. I have all their birth years. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode,

Hello guys! Sorry to ask your help one last time, as I will be busy for a while with school after this! I have discovered a marriage record for my . grandparents from Calheta, Calheta, Sao Jorge on the 28th of September 1778. It is the entry on the left hand side of the following

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Seeking a connections to Thomas Correia Bettencourt

Basically, there is an Ancestry tree that lists Joseph Bettencourt and Maria Candida as the parents of that person's Thomas Correia Bettencourt but he can't remember how he got that info and I've asked him to follow up with the people he spoke to that gave him info on that particular Thomas

Hello, I'm trying to establish a connection between a Thomas Bettencourt (17 MAY 1867 • Luz, Santa Cruz da Graciosa, Graciosa, Azores) on my tree—who I discovered via confessional rolls as the son of José Correa Bettencourt (abt. 1808) and Maria Candida—and a Thomas Correia Bettencourt (abt.

I agree that the year is 1948, but 4 May is the date of the note, not necessarily the death. I think the first line says he died on day 30 of last March (faleceu no dia trinta de Marco ultimo). Since it references a registry of obit, I think it likely he died in this same parish. I think

That's my next thing as soon as I get back on the research train. It will help locate more DNA matches anyway since so many of these people don't go that far back so I need to build it down to them. On Tuesday, September 6, 2016 at 4:25:12 PM UTC-5, Cheri Mello wrote: > > Yay! Now go find
