Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Hi Linda and all Thanks :) Funnily enough I think I saw a passport for a Maria Josepha close to the depature date but I skimmed over it because I couldn't see Joaquim (silly silly me). Once the site is back up I'll find it and document it again. Once I get my head around Joaquim's immigration

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Hi all I know they were both born the in the Azores. We have, very elderly, living relatives who confirm this. Anecdotally we also know that Joaquim and Maria's families were very unhappy about their marriage and so they came to America very soon thereafter. I have Joaquim ("King" as he's now

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Linda, OK, thanks for explaining how he morphed into Antonio. Yeah, the manifest on Joaquim is the first thing I looked up because I wanted to see what the columns said on the right, but since they were U.S. Citizens, they did not need to say who they were coming to in America. Samantha knows

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Oh! I see the problem. I made an error in my note to Samantha in which I stated that Maria Josefa was married to "Antonio" where I should have said "Joaquim". Ooops! :D L. On Monday, December 5, 2016 at 8:45:41 PM UTC-8, linda wrote: > > > Joaquim Benedicto is the husband of Maria

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Joaquim Benedicto is the husband of Maria Josefa; Antonio is Maria's father. Joaquim's father is Benedicto Antonio. Who's on first? ;) I haven't seen the manifest, so I can't speak to that. L. On Monday, December 5, 2016 at 8:35:13 PM UTC-8, Cheri Mello wrote: > > I haven't followed this

Evening Rose Thanks for the links and the way to get to them. I was searching tombo.pt but in all the wrong places (I am such a noob). I will definitely continue searching for their passport documents too. :) Can I ask how you found them so quickly. It really was just minutes from me posting

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

I haven't followed this thread in its entirety, but how did Joaquim Benedicto morph into Antonio? The original couple that Samantha posted about are U.S. Citizens. Or so says the American manifest. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira

Hi Samantha, Please keep in mind Roselyn's advice, and please also take care to verify any information you find in online trees by checking the digital records. We're so lucky to have these resources, but as you've probably already guessed, last names aren't exactly fixed. First names are a

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Thank you s much Roselyn. This does indeed look like them. I'm not familiar with naming conventions in these documents. I'm assuming that Joaquim's father is Antonio Benedicto yes? Also, from what I can see women's last names are not generally documented yes? Thank you again :) Samantha

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Oh my goodness Roselyn, I'm doing a little happy dance here. Yes, this very much looks like them :) Thank you thank you thank you :) I'm not familiar with the naming conventions at the time on the Azores. "Benedicto Antonio", should I assume that it last name, first name? ie Antonio Benedicto?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Hi Samantha, Assuming the couple that Rose found for you from Santa Lucia, Terceira is correct, you should try looking at the passports from Angra. Like Cheri suggested, start from the sailing date and go backwards, and keep in mind that they might not have been married yet when they got their

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Samantha, don't be afraid of questions,there is always someone on the list that will try and give you some help. Yes, he could have had a surname that he dropped, happened all the time. It generally was a week to a month before sailing that the passporte is dated. It could be more but that is

Hi Rosemary :) Thanks for the reply and apologies for the questions; I'm so new at this. Are you saying the Joaquim may have had an additional name (surname) which he then dropped upon arrival in the US? (I'm familiar with the name change/anglicization of names - my husband's German side is

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Hello :) New here and a little lost (Researching husband's family)

Samantha, You are not ready to start researching in the Azores. You need to do more work in the U.S. first. It would be similar to someone posting that their ancestors came from America to England, yet they can't even provide the state in America. There's a whole list of how-to on the Azores

Hi all I'm building my husband's family tree on ancestry.com. His maternal grand parents arrived in the US from the Azores in 1908. I have the ship name and passenger list from Ellis Island but I'm struggling to work out how to get more information about them from the Azores. Currently I'm
