Steve,
Have you uploaded your DNA to FTDNA.com? It is free. I don’t know
whether it is free to get the y-dna results, also; but I would try it.
Your Haplogroup may be a big help. My husband’s haplogroup is apparently
the most common in the world, making it less productive with matches, I

Hi Steve,
You're very welcome!
To answer your question: The link Cheri provided goes directly to the
records from Angra do Heroismo, Terceira. Since the obit for your Manuel
de Sousa stated that he was born in Terceira, that's the most likely place
to find his passport record. There are

Linda,
Thank you so much for taking the time to look at them and help me. Now I
know that the numbers were age, that will help a lot. I knew the
destination, but have q hard time read what it says. Since I am half way
through the book, you know I will have more for you to help with. LOL! One
Hi Steve,
I'll help you learn to read the passport records. The data and vocabulary
are limited; all it just takes is a little practice.

Headings at the top of the page are

Hi Steve,
Sorry, I misread then. In the Portuguese based records, you are looking for
parents named João de Souza and Maria da Silva, but I doubt she's listed
that way. She'll be a Maria Religious Middle Name.

Thanks again. His parents were John Soza and Mary Silva. I will search the
site you referenced, thanks.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for the timeline. That helps a lot. These are all records you've
done from online searches? Not everything is online, especially the
naturalizations. Currently, it's around $65 to do a search (and no
guarantee they'll find the right Manuel). The fees are slated to go to a

Hi Steve S,
Are you sure about that? I can't find a Manuel Souza coming into Boston on
2 Dec 1887 on the Sarah from Flores. But I found a Manuel Souza coming into
Boston on 2 Dec 1887 on the Sarah from FAIAL. It's getting to be confusing.
First you said it was Sao Miguel island, then Flores
Thanks for the information you provided. I have some other information, but
is does not match up to San Miguel. It saya Terceira.
I did the 64 Y-DNA test years ago and Ancestry chose not to use these with
their new DNA test. I can provide the results if it would help, but it
looks like I can
Hi Steve S,
Sousa is the modern Portuguese spelling. Before 1911 you will see Souza. At
least in the Portuguese records. The set of records you'll be dealing with
won't be the Civil Registers but the Church records.
Yes, Souza/Sousa and Silva are 2 of the most common names. Records over

Hello all!
I just found this group while digging for Azores civil records or
information. My great-grandfather Manuel/Manoel de Sousa/Souza was born
about 28 February 1868 in ST. Michael/Sao Miguel, Azores, Portugal and
immigrated to the US about 16 April 1885/86 at Boston, MA. He was
