Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

Hey Jeremy, I get it. But there are other ways, for instance the use of filters. These can be set up to filter out what is not important. Regarding "massive" mailing, forgive me but I haven't seen mass mailing here. There are days where nothing is happening. Too quiet if I might add. I

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

For the people who are working and can't read all the messages. Doesn't matter to me, I read them all. Helps me learn something new. Like weird names such as Nimfa. And public announcements that Joana said Bartolomeu was the father of her baby (not sure if I remember their names). Cheri Mello

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

Margaret, I personally read most of the groups threads.  Every once in a while though, I do miss stuff. However, if someone put one of my main research islands in the subject line, you can bet that I would open it because it would be of higher relevance to me as a researcher. Even though I plan

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

Sorry but that doesn't make sense. If someone is looking for help I will ignore it if the subject line states an island I'm not interested in? Is this Group not named Azores. Why segregate it by island based on member preferences rather then collective participation??? Margaret Vicente Sent

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

It most likely won't involve 2 islands. I think Tish was referring to translation help. So the posted document would be from one island in a particular freguesia. Every once in a while, a parent could be from another island, so just list it. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

Jeremy, Great! How about this if it involves two Islands (ex. Sao Miguel/Santa Maria)? On Sat, Jul 1, 2017 at 5:32 PM, Tish M wrote: > Thank you Jeremy. I hope others will follow your lead. > > Tish > > On Sat, Jul 1, 2017 at 3:42 PM, 'Jeremy G. B-C' via Azores

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

I totally agree with Cheri. The freguesia and the surnames (if you know them) is a fine addition. So... the subject line might look like this: * São Miguel, Ponta Garca, (surnames)* Tish On Sat, Jul 1, 2017 at 3:31 PM, Cheri Mello wrote: > Great idea! And if it's a

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Mendoza versus Mendonca

To me it's a 'ç' (Mendoça). The priest didn't lift his pen when he passed on to the 'c' after the 'o', just like he does in the word "Parochial" in some records. 2017-07-01 23:45 GMT+01:00 John Vasconcelos : > *My father who immigrated to the US in 1908, went for a time by

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Mendoza versus Mendonca

*My father who immigrated to the US in 1908, went for a time by the name of John Mendoza (I have seen old utility bills with that name) for a reason lost to history. He is shown on the Ellis Island web site as Joao Vitorino Vasconcellos. His mother's maiden name was * *Mendonça so I suspect that

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

I agree with this, Tish. I have no one on Sao Miguel so I generally will just ignore but I have to go into the body of the email to find out that info! It really would be nice to put the Island name then village if possible in the Subject line. Rosemarie rcap...@gmail.com Researching Sao Jorge,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

Great idea! And if it's a larger island, you might want to add the freguesia and surnames too! Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Sat, Jul 1, 2017 at 3:23 PM, Tish M

[AZORES-Genealogy] Identify the Island first

Hi, I have a suggestion that might make all of our lives a little simpler. On the Subject line: why don't we all start with the Island (eg. *Santa Maria* translation), if applicable. If everyone wants to read each email, that is fine, but some might prefer to be a little more selective. We are
