Yes I did it exactly as Cheri said. Through this list she and others have
taught many, including me. Six years ago it all looked like scribble to me
and I had to completely rely on list members. This is an outstanding site.

It takes practice to learn to read the writing. And it's not hard to find
once you get the correct pieces of information. Although Annie did not
state a date for arrival in America, she had enough information. Bill most
likely looked up the arrival in America on Ancestry, then went over to the

Hi Bill!
You have done this to get me started, too. What makes it so quick for you
to get results? Is it because you read Portuguese? São Miguel, for
example, has so many villages. Do you look from one to the next for the
whole island?
It amazes me that you are so fast with something that is t

Hello again:
This is even more incredible!
Thank you, again.
I will keep digging on my grandfather (Margarida’s husband ) and see if I can
get travel info on him.
I cannot really read the writing so much but can see her name, etc. How can you
read it so easily? I will keep trying.
Again, I w
Hello there, Bill:
Thank you SO MUCH for this information.
I will keep digging, too.
Are you on Sao Miguel ?
This is incredible information.
I will stay in touch and keep talking to relatives in the States (not many
left!)
Can I stay in touch with you ?
So, in order to “prove” that I am her
Hello Annie,
I believe this is your grandmother's baptism that took place 28 Aub 1989 in

Here is their passaporte listing, #291 at the bottom. It looks like a
husband, wife, and two kids (Ermalinda and Margarida), then three
additional family members too old to be their kids. The same seven people
in the same order are on the manifest for the SS Commonwealth departing

Hi Anni,
If you have the date and ship name they left and arrived inBoston on, you
should be able to find their passport info, or the ships manifest. This will
tell their freguesia.Also, from Ancestry, look at census records 1920, 30, 40
to see if they became citizens or not. Then look for natu
Hi Annie,
Sao Miguel is the most populated island, holding half of the population of
the Azores. Today, it's close to a quarter of a million people.
Ancestry.com won't have the records that you need. As I stated, they are on
Tombo.pt.
There's no guarantee that because your ancestors sailed from
Hi
Thank you!
I only know that they left Sao Miguel in 1903 and, I blieve, were from Sao
Miguel, but I don’t know what village. I was hoping that there might be some
records in Sao Miguel of my grandmother’s parents.
I hardly see any village names on records in ancestry.com. i was hoping there
I have a few abandoned ancestors. So they are part of that mortality rate.
Almost at least one in each line at some point back.

P.S. I don't know why the pictures rotated. So turn your head, tablet, or

Since the topic of the expostos (foundlings or abandoned babies) left at
the roda (wheel) of the church does not belong on the thread about the
poor, I'm posting it here.

Hi Annie,
The Azores are comprised of 9 islands. You need to narrow down the island
first, then find the village. Everything there is organized by the
freguesia (village).
The Azorean government digitized their records. Many freguesias go to the
year 1911 and a few only go to 1905. The records ca
Hello:
My grandmother's name is Margarida Benevides Cabral. I think her parents
were Joao Benevides Cabral and his wife Marie F. Benevides Cabral.
They came to Boston in 1903 onn the SS Commonwealth and headed to Fall
River, MA.
My grandmother was born in August 1898 or 1899.
I am traveling
