Eric-

Now there's something else I didn't know..there's Portugese
liquor?  I never really thought about it.

What about wine.  When I had my cacciola dinner I asked the liquor
store about Portugese wine and they didn't know much of anything.  I
recall back in the 60's we used to buy Mateus Rose, which I thought
was Portuguese. The wine guy at the liquor store made some noise about
the couple of choices they had available of Portuguese wine but said
it is grown someplace else or bottled someplace else.  Agh, can't
remember what he told me.  I ended up buying a couple bottles of some
pretty pricey wine that were very sweet.  Is there commercially
available Azorean wine we can get?  As you can imagine there's not
much call for Azorean or Portugese wines in Kansas.

Hi KBorges,

Yes, it's in Portuguese.  They are creating it over in the Azores.  You can
use on line translators to translate most of the typed texted.  The records
you will have to read yourself.  If you find one of interest, people on this

To those of you who missed this wonderful conference (like me) and
still need help researching, there are a number of listmembers who
will gladly look up US records and some of us even have many lines in
the Azores established that you might connect to, so if you will give
us names (of parents and children) , when they came to US (or some
idea of this) and where they settled in US and any other pertinent
information, we might be able to help you trace backwards to the
Azores and in some cases take you back to the 1600's!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Posting messages

It's easy to read the title of the email (or thread) and then start to read
the responses and forget what the title of the thread says. Especially when
there get to be many responses.  So I'm asking when making a post, can you
repeat what's in the title of the thread?  It'll help avoid some
misunderstandings.

Example:  Your post:  Researchers in Southern California
Your body:  If you are researching in southern California can you please
...

Example:  Your post:  Looking for Manuel do Rego in Lajes das Pico, 1850s
Your body: Anyone have Manuel do Rego, born in Lajes das Pico in the
mid-1850s..

(By-the-way, I don't have a Manuel do Rego in Pico - I just made that up for
this example).

Actually Cindy, fejoada is Afro Brazillian in origin. When the slave masters 
killed pigs, they saved the chops and the pork roasts (all the good cuts) for  
themselves and gave the inards, pigs feet, ears, etc to their slaves.  The 
slaves embelished the stew with black beans, etc. If you go to an up scale 
Brazillian Restaurant, you will find the fejoada further embelished with 
linguica, etc. In some upscale restaurants in Brazil they will even serve pork 
chops on the side, a far cry from what the black slaves originally had. My late 
wife was Brazillian and filled me in on all this history of fejoada.

 And since this perked the genealogist interest in me, I decided to see

If he jumped ship, I doubt you will find any record of that. The first  
record you will find on him would be the 1880 census, if he was in SF in  
1870 or the 1900 census if it was 1880 as there is no 1890 census (just  
fragments of such). Do you have his US records?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Pre-Planning for Salt Lake City, 2011

The conference attendees filled out a survey for us, so we have that
feedback to help us plan for our next event.  So we are taking that
information into consideration.

For others who think that they might attend an event that is directed at
Azorean genealogy, if we could get feedback from you (or conference
attendees can also answer).

1)  Would a Wednesday - Saturday conference be better (with Tuesday night
registration) or a Tuesday - Friday conference be better (with Monday night
registration)?

2) Are you researching American/Canadian records looking for your village or
need help with researching the Portuguese records? (This helps us plan which
classes repeat).

3) All conferences contain lectures.  How important is computer lab class
time? (Very important, somewhat important, not important).

4) How important is it to have time one-on-one time or open research time?
(Rosemarie and I sat with people and helped them read records, gave
advise/strategies, etc).  State very important, somewhat important, not
important.

Please respond directly to me at gfscherim at gmail.com  DON'T hit reply and
send this to the list.  I'm the one compiling the information.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy]Portuguese wine

2010-06-28 Thread Joaquin Mendonca


Cindy D.,

There is a wine from the Dâo region of Portugal labeled with the name 
Dâo. It is a fairly dry white wine. Very good. Also there is a wine 
called Vinho Verde (green wine, NO the wine is not green, or immature) 
this wine is also a fairly dry wine. This is a type of wine. Like all 
wines, you  can find great and poor wines. I find price is not always 
an  indicator of the quality of wine.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy]Portuguese wine

2010-06-28 Thread Joaquin Mendonca


Linda,

I do not like a sweet wine, white or red. Therefore, I do not drink or 
sample any varietal grapes that fall in the sweet category.
I do appreciate a Port. Even though it is called a Port wine, normally 
sweet, I do not considered it a wine. Red wine is used for the base, and 
then it is fortified with brandy. I do not recall ever having a bad 
bottle of port from Oporto. I have about 20 bottles of port from either 
Oporto or the states. I have not seen or looking for white port from 
Oporto. Trivia - port was originally make for the British. That why you 
see so many brands with British name.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Flores Whaling Ships

Shirley,

Since whaling was a trade, when they arrived here they may have continued
working as whalers here. There were many shore whaling companies along the
Califonia coast from the 1850s to 1900. I've seen census sheets that listed
the settlement showing which island the azorean men were from. I think 1870
Monterey was the one I have. I'll look around

help me with this, email me directly at gfscherim at gmail.com

I'm working on showing how scrolling the microfilm works.

1) I need to shoot footage in a darkened room (the film room at the FHC).
2) I'm filming the film which may be the problem - it might be too dark to
begin with.

I can email what has already been filmed.  It's not that good.

Anyone know tips to overcome this, please email directly.

Once I get some good footage, I'll ask Kathy to add it to the Azores GenWeb.

  Since we have more new members, it may be a good time to post this.

  HOW TO MAKE A GOOD POST
  1) Start a new email.  Address it to Azores@googlegroups.com
  2) Subject:  This is very important on this active list.  Not everyone has 
time to read every message.  Many people scan the subject headings and hit 
delete if the subject is of no interest.  So if your subject says Help Me and 
the reader on the other end is busy, it will be deleted.  Try to put your 
surname and island in the subject heading, if possible.
  3) Type what you know in the body, trying to put in the name, date, and 
place.  If you are talking about your Maria de Mello in Massachusetts and you 
don't have the date, try a range like 1900-1920 or something.  Stating she is 
your great-grandma doesn't help us help you.  My greats were born in the 1860s 
through the 1880s.  We have people on this list in their 90s.  Their greats 
would be much older than my greats.  We have people on this list in their 20s.  
Their greats would be much younger than my greats.  It's just best to state the 
years (or approximates) instead.

  REPLYING TO A THREAD
  Right now, we have a thread titled Flores.  So if you are researching 
Flores, read one of those emails and hit reply on your email.  Type what you 
know about your Flores ancestor. Your info about your Flores ancestor will go 
out to all 760+ people on this list.  DON'T hit reply to the Flores thread and 
tell us about your Maria de Mello on Sao Miguel who went to MA between 
1900-1920.  But I just said that the email goes to 760+ people.  Yes, but many 
are 760 BUSY people who read the subject heading only.  If they are researching 
Sao Miguel and you are posting to the Flores thread, they aren't reading the 
Flores thread, they are deleting it along with your info about Maria de Mello 
on Sao Miguel.

  Hope this helps!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Calling all movie camera experts

2010-06-28 Thread Jesse Pacheco

If the filming doesn't work out, would it be possible to demonstrate in
a different location with better lighting on a microfilm machine? Such
as a library?

Also, if the filming doesn't work what about creating a slide show with
voice over instruction? It might not be ideal, but it's just an idea if
this doesn't work out. Some cameras may have a night-vision function
but I'm not sure if this is really practical.

Sorry if this wasn't much help! If you need any assistance with editing
I would love to help. I have some experience with that.

I'm working on showing how scrolling the microfilm works.

1) I need to shoot footage in a darkened room (the film room at the FHC).
2) I'm filming the film which may be the problem - it might be too
dark to begin with.

I can email what has already been filmed. It's not that good.

Anyone know tips to overcome this, please email directly.

Once I get some good footage, I'll ask Kathy to add it to the Azores

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy]Portuguese wine

I got White Port from Napa Valley, CA and it was superb. I like the Italian
sweet wine, Moscato. I thought Port was  from the Douro Valley of Northern
Portugal and named after Porto.

Linda,

I do not like a sweet wine, white or red. Therefore, I do not drink or
sample any varietal grapes that fall in the sweet category.
I do appreciate a Port. Even though it is called a Port wine, normally
sweet, I do not considered it a wine. Red wine is used for the base, and
then it is fortified with brandy. I do not recall ever having a bad bottle
of port from Oporto. I have about 20 bottles of port from either Oporto or
the states. I have not seen or looking for white port from Oporto. Trivia -
port was originally make for the British. That why you see so many brands
with British name.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese Wine

2010-06-28 Thread Jenn Vargas

The Dao wine is one of my favorite wines.  I actually found it by accident
at my local wine shop.  It's relatively inexpensive and has a smooth, bold
taste.  It's slightly dry but not oaky and bitter.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Thank you all for your condolences

2010-06-28 Thread IslandRoutes

I wanted to thank you all for your condolences.  I am sorry if I have
not acknowledged everyone personally.  At some point in the last few
weeks, things got overwhelming.

Know that I read every email and that I appreciate everyone's words.
Things are getting a little easier.  We had a wonderful celebration of
life party with family and friends at my sister's house a couple of
weeks after he died.  We were able to take many photos of the
relatives.  Those photos will be treasured by us all and will add
another element to my family tree mementos.

I've spent quite a bit of time going over the last weeks of my Dad's
life.  I'm happy that I was here and that because I was here my Dad
was able to live his life out in the home he lived in for 48 years.

We are now slowly going through his belongings.  And, I keeping an eye
out for genealogical gems, things to hold on to for the next
generation.  I am also preparing to move in the next couple of months,
so life is still in disarray.

I hope soon I can get back into genealogy.  I found some interesting
things before my Dad's passing and I am eager to get back to it and
place it all together.

Thanks again for your kindness!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy]Portuguese wine

2010-06-28 Thread danandmaria



It is a dessert liqueur.  Not wine. 



As for Azorean table wines, there is one from Pico called Basalto that is a 
very nice red. Otherwise, seek wines from the mainland (Douro, Alentejo, Dao 
regions). 



Summer is ideal for vinhos verdes. Some are produced rather cheaply and 
over-carbonated (Gatao, Lagosta, and Mateus are in this category). Really nice 
one, not expensive, served very cold is Casal Garcia. Probably the best quality 
vinho verde is Palacio da Brejoeira. You'll pay a little more but it is great 
quality. 



Here in Nashville, it has taken us a while to educate various wine stores to 
get these wines in but they are finally catching on and everyone is happier.

Not that I know of. The best shot is to find a whaling station on the
