Wow! I know I'm a novice at this, but when researching my German and Irish lines it seemed that things came so easily. I guess I became complacent because I had thought I'd looked every place there was to find this information. But then again, it seems the Azores is a completely different

The year I had for their marriage came from the 1900 census. It's highly possible it was transcribed wrong. Thanks!!! On Wednesday, March 6, 2013 6:18:38 PM UTC-6, luiznoia wrote: They married in Monterey county in 1866. You might check to original record on microfilm to confirm the parents

Hi Jim A, I'd say that researching any immigrant ancestor (or at least European immigrant ancestors) does have some commonalities. To research just about anywhere in Europe, you need the village. And you'd use naturalization, ships lists, etc to find that village. There were more German and

I was one of the people on AOL with Cheri and Melody, it took me 15 years to finally do research on the actual Azores. Because of the naming tradition I thought it would be too hard and I might make a mistake and trace the wrong family LOL But it wasn't as hard as I thought after all!!! I just had

Jim, Do you have other information (such as siblings' names) that could help ? I found a couple Antonio Brum and Catarina Rosa, but they were too old to have been Manuel's parents. Brum as a surname does appear on Pico, but could be part of a combination, e.g. Brum Rodrigues. Any chance of a

The earliest record I found of him was the 1870 census. He lived in San Rafael, Ca. and was a brick maker. I've searched the 5 names that are listed with him with no luck. I thought being so close to San Francisco I would find records there, but haven't yet. Whaling histories is a good idea.
