Hi Diane,
My ggfather's name was Jose de Medeiros, passport was issued Sep 20 1897, #
510, passenger # 1038 and it is on line at the cca site. This GGF also
after having returned from Africa showed up with an additional last name
Salgadinho. I was sent on a wild goose chase when I started the
Hello Diane,
My ggfather went to Africa from Sao Miguel at 20 years of age, a newlywed
with a good reason to return, his wife. When I look at the passports it
showed only 3 men leaving for Africa...why did he do it? We can only guess.
I found this link
Hi Mara
What year did your GGrandfather go to Africa? Where did you get the
passports? Maybe they went to Africa for work. Was there any particular
gold mining or the like I wonder. Just a thought.
Thanks for the link to the Qland gov. site. I haven't looked at the Qland
records for a
Hi Mara
Yes he could have gone to the USA first but my Grandma never mentioned
anywhere by Hawaii and I know from my research that there were many, many
whaling boats in the harbours at that time. Also the fact that he had no
trouble changing his name means that it's hard to know who to look
Hi Margaret
What does the notation mean then? does it mean that this Victorina died in
1871??? Please excuse my ignorance, still learning.
thanks for the link - yes I already had that one.

Diane,
First to clarify my 1871? 1877. It means I'm not sure if it reads
1871 or 1877 because the writing was too small and faded.
Priests side notes on baptismal records are related to the person the
record belongs to, in this case, the child, Manuel. He could have
needed a proof of birth or
That is a great help thank you Margaret
I think that my GGrandfather Joaquim left Sao Jorge in around 1870 and his
brother Manuel was 3 years younger, so maybe the certificate is about a
passport. Or, as you say, his marriage if it is 1877. I will search the
marriages for Manuel. It was not
Hi,
These certificates were in the form of a piece of paper and I don't imagine
there is a registry for it. And that's correct, only Sao Miguel has
passports on line and they start in 1875. It's a difficult task to trace
whalers. Have you considered the possibility he entered the USA first
Diane D,
It's probably her. Do you find any other Victorina (Rosa or Constancia)
having babies with another Cristiano Machado (or Machado Pereira)? If you
don't find another Cristiano/Vitorina couple, then that's your Vitorina's
obit. You can also look for Cristiano's 2nd marriage and see what
Diane,
A genealogist may have some recommendations but I would start by
searching for her birth record to confirm parents. Check for this
couple's children's birth records starting from Sep 16th, date of her
death which could have been due to childbirth. You may be able to
obtain information

Sorry this may have beem misleading. I meant that she was Victorina Rosa
on her marriage and the baptism of her sons.

I think I have just made the link that confirms that she is the same

appears to be the recording of her death. Being new to this research I had
not taken much notice of it before. It appears to be 16 Sept ?? which is

shows the names of her and her husband in any format is the following. 3rd

Diane,
On the 16th day of the month of September of the year 1853 passed away
Victoria Constancia who was the wife of Christiano Machado with all the
sacraments at 28 years of age more or less.

thank you Margaret. I am even now more confused because my Victorina Rosa,
who died around this time and was married to Christiano Machado Pereira,
would have been 28 when she died and she belonged to that parish. So all
the information is there except Constancia second name. She was Victorina
