Hi Nelia, I have the wrong line but now that I have narrowed it down. We are most likely related on my Martins/Correia/Bettencourt line. Let me know if either of these come up on your tree. On Wednesday, December 4, 2019 at 10:55:04 PM UTC-5, Nelia DiBiase wrote: > > Hi Maria, > > I’ve

Hi Nelia, I have a good feeling about this one. I believe we are related through my Grandmother who still has cousins in Feitera with connections to Capelas based on some hints I found. I have yet to upload this cousin's info to Gedmatch and I'm going to do it now. Maria On Thursday,

Hi there, I’m from Capelas and my father who is 78 has a very very sharp memory. If you have any info on your parents if they lived in Capelas then I can ask him about your family etc and he may be able to remember something about your grandparents my grandfather was born in 1913 so your

Horace, I believe the online web site asks you for your Portuguese I.D. card. I'm not sure how you'd get one when you reside in the U.S. You may need to hire Joao Ventura to obtain it for you. He lives in the Azores, so he'd have the correct identification. I suggest you email him with your

No Portuguese I.D. card for me! Born in the states. Am I still eligible for one? I know I can get the exact date from my father. Manuel came with his wife Maria Benevedes. Best, Horace On Thu, Feb 7, 2019, 8:07 PM Cheri Mello Hi Horace, > > Do you have the exact birth date of your Manuel b.

Hi Horace, Do you have the exact birth date of your Manuel b. 1931 and died 15 Sept 2013? The trick to working with the Civil Registry is having the EXACT date. If your Manuel came to Fall River with HIS mother (your grandmother), you should trace HER. If your Manuel was born in 1931, his mom

I know Manuel came to Fall River in 1966 with my grandmother and passed away in Fall River on September 15, 2013. So good news there. You mentioned being able to purchase a record. Is there a certain way to purchase a record? Thank you so much Cheri! Horace On Thu, Feb 7, 2019, 7:44 PM Cheri

Hi Horace, Yay, progress! The Azores (and most countries and regions) have their privacy concerns. So protections are in place for those who may be living. You won't find a 1931 birth or baptism from the Azores online anywhere. The books may be sent to the corresponding archive in 2035. And

Horace, The 3 pieces that you need are a name, date, and a place. You have the names and a place. You need a date or a range. My grandparents were born in the early 1900s. My dad's grandparents were born in the 1880s. Saying "grandparents" gives us no clue at all to the date because it's relative
