Annette, did he become a citizen? Those records, if he applied, may have
more info. It just depends on what the government asked. In the US if it

Thank you so much for your information of Araujo's being everywhere on Sao

It is very difficult to research Sao Miguel island with its 70 or so
parishes without knowing which parish your ancestor came from. Araujos are
all over Sao Miguel.
I'd go to your local genealogy society and ask how to trace an immigrant
ancestor in Australia around 1850. Are there censuses, natur
Some Garcias are Portuguese and some Garcias are from other Spanish
speaking countries. There are a few surnames that are both Portuguese as
well as Spanish. So you have to be careful when dealing with a surname
only. It is best to research the ancestor to find out if he is Portuguese
or another na
That should be Freddy, not Freddie, sorry mate, not used to using a small
screen. I have a great friend, Daniel Garcia who migrated from Uruguay to
Australia many years ago and I have a Garcia DNA link,( I have been calling him
cousin since I found out) I just haven't had time to explore it fur
Can anyone please tell me anything about my 2nd great grandfather, He was
a farmer and married a lady called Antonia, who we don't know of her last
name.
I don't know what parish they came from, only it was Sao Miguel.
My great grandfather's name was Francisco Batila De Araujo or De Araugo. He
Thank you so much Freddie. It astounds me the generosity of this group, it
restores my faith in human nature.
