2014-08-04 Thread Maryann Santos
I have tried and tried to puzzle this out but cannot seem to make sense of the paternal grandfather's last name for Sebastião (#3) - I see Verissimo as the first name but cannot for the life of me make out the last name. For the paternal grandmother's names I can see Margarida but can't make

Maryann, I would say Verissimo Theotonhio (Teotonio) and Rita Margarida The maternal I think the name is just Jose Antonio, the next word is the name of the place where he might be from, which I don't recognize. Grandmother is Ana Ventura from the aldeia/village of Armamar On Mon, Aug 4, 2014

Edna, Joao Ventura, the archivist that you met in Salt Lake, is NOT Joao C. Ventura. Joao C. posts more than Joao the archivist. So don't picture him in your mind! Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- For

That would be fantastic, Margaret, if we were related and to find some family in that area. I will search for the marriage records but I have found Tombo.pt really, really frustrating to use. The pages load very slowly and navigating through them is torturous. Maybe it's because I'm using a Mac
