Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azorean passports vs ship passenger manifest

Andrew, I don't know what the timing requirements were but I've found all of my people getting their passportes just a few days to a week before they sailed! As "E" does, I work backwords from the date of arrival in the US and hope I find them in one of the ports. Start with the closest one and

They don't HAVE TO have the same chromosome 2 sequence. It's really nice when it happens, because it makes it easy, but as in life, most things AREN'T easy. G. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is my DNA leading to a distant ancestor on Pico?

Cheri, That gives me a little bit of a time frame to work with. I'm slowly piecing together my mid to early 1700s for the Pacheco line. Unfortunately, my direct Pacheco line end in a Pai Incognito, so if it's that line, then I will never know. It's interesting how DNA works out. I have

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Braga found in Estrela (for John Roias and others)

JR, I kind of suspected as much. I know that my line descends from Damiao de Braga (as well you know). But, working in Maia I have come across a line known as Braga Serra. I've yet to see any connection between them and my own de Braga in Maia. I've been moving around records filling in

[AZORES-Genealogy] Azorean passports vs ship passenger manifest

I would appreciate if insight could be given as to how long before ship departure a person needed to get their passport? I long ago located my 2nd ggmother and three of her children, including my 1ggmother on the manifest of the bark Veronica. The ship left Horta, Fayal, on 21 September 1885

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Braga found in Estrela (for John Roias and others)

Many thanks for the information. In case you don't know, most, if not all of the Braga's of Ribeira Grande are *not* related to the Braga's of Achada or Maia, or Faial da Terra, or Povoacao or Ponta Garca. They are independent branch(es) that link to the earliest nobles of Ribeira Grande. The

They are both correct. Agada is the older version of the name. On Wednesday, August 9, 2017 8:06 PM, Ângela Loura wrote: Ágata.Águeda is a place. 2017-08-09 18:21 GMT+01:00 Sme : Agada or Agueda?   (femlale first name) Suzanne -- You

Sorry, I'm finding Águeda as a first name of a woman on Sao Miguel island. The modern spelling is Águeda as JR said. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Wed, Aug 9, 2017 at 10:34 AM, Ângela

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is my DNA leading to a distant ancestor on Pico?

It goes back roughly 200 years from the birth of the testee. In your case, the mid-1700s. You could have a sticky segment from the early 1700s. Maybe one of your ancestors had a couple of siblings who went out west to Pico. Just a couple of scenarios. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: ENOS/ENES VARGAS CONCORD, CA

luiznoia, Thank you so much for finding the 1880 census! With the Ignacio being spelled Ygnacio, and John using the Portuguese spelling Joao, no wonder I couldn't find them. They did have a son named Joseph, and a lot of other children. I do have Filomena coming to the U.S. in 1868, but it is

[AZORES-Genealogy] Is my DNA leading to a distant ancestor on Pico?

Over the last year, I've been noticing 4th to remote cousin DNA matches whose trees are entirely on Pico. I pretty much ignored them because my tree several generations back is entirely on Sao Miguel Island. I didn't really think much of it and thought maybe they are identical by state,

John, I can't seem to find your email address right now. I know that you and others are interested in Braga's of Sao Miguel. I was going through Estrela for another family. I found this entry in 1754 that I thought might interest those researching the line. I didn't see any other Braga's

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] A child "presented" to Izabel Martins

Actually it isn't strange. For a newborn foundling, you tried real hard to place the child with somebody who was nursing; either a mother who had a baby of her own or one whose baby had recently died. Otherwise the foundling would likely not thrive without a supply of breast milk. JMR On
