Rosemarie,
Yes, it is.
Sometimes it took so long that children were born to the couple before they
married.
Most of them pleeded poor, so they could get a dispensation from the bishop, in
Angra, otherwise they would have to apply for it to Rome and it could take up
to 4 years.

Thank you all for the feedback. There are quite a few questions and
information on your messages. I apologize, will get back to all your
questions soon.
Yes, I actually live in Sao Miguel, someone asked that, for 17 years now. I
married at Nordeste (Santana) I live in Calhetas, Ribeira Grande.
That is the problem I have no real place to stat. My grandmother
herself was born in california but her father Joseph Duarte or Duarts
was born in Portugal and I dont know where . I do not have any one
that can tell me those answers. I want to sao Sao Miguel Just because
is sounds familiar. But
Joao,
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't realize that it could take up to 4
years! Wow. I should have thought about that though because my 4th graunt,
Bernarda Rosa and her husband Domingos Antonio Sousa had two children in
1792 1796 before they actually married in 1798 Norte Grande. That one
CD,
Maybe I missed something. Please post again what you know about Joseph
Duarte. Where did they live in the US? Did your grandmother have any
siblings? What are their names/ages? When was Joseph born (a valid guess
would do) and when/where was your grandmother born. Do you have any idea of

With the DNA test, would that tell if the Duarte family was from Acores or
Madera Islands or just from the Portugal area itself?

Hi CD,
DNA testing is of more importance if you know the geographical area they
came from. It would be more helpful if you could find out what Island or
village your great grandfather came from.
I would start with the 1900 and/or 1010 census to get an idea as to when he
immigrated to the US. If

DNA tests don't point to countries. They can only point to regions of the
world. They can say if you are European, African, Asian, or Middle
I would be interested in your de Melo cousins from Ribeira Grande and
Achada. Mine come from those neck of the woods.

John,
There are several reasons why sons sometimes take their mother's surname in
Portugal. If the mother's family had all the wealth, under some conditions
the son must take the mother's surname to receive the inheritance..
Sometimes (but not always) the son may have taken the mother's surname
In some old family letters in Portuguese dated 1913-1938 to my great-
grandmother in Northern California (a native of Ponta da Fajã Grande
das Flores) I've found the following names, which I've listed
alphabetically below, along with year(s) of letter(s); some names have
different spellings in

OK. I believe I have found them in the 1920 lived on Moss Landing Road,
Washington, Alameda Co. CA and 1930 lived on Oakland-San Jose Hwy.
Washington, Alameda County CA They both say Joseph was born in California
and Mary in Massachusetts. Children listed are Alfred, Adeline, Joseph,
Leonard,
Have you ever heard of a Mary Jo Duarte from Contra Costa County, CA.,
probably born 1910-1915? My parents knew her in the mid-1930s,
although to my knowledge I never met her. I don't know what her
married name was.
