RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Catholic Church in Cambridge, MA

Hi Adair, I know what it's like to search with not results, really frustrating. I can tell you right off though that Jennie is not a name I have in my database. I am assuming you don't know where in the Azores they came from as this would help greatly. Without a location, I can only say that

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Rois/Confessados for Terceira

Thanks for the information. Someone suggested this was from the church like a dispensation because of consanguinity or affinity. I think that is interesting because the husband in this case, Roberto Luis Goncalves, is an “exposto” and parentage is unknown. However, did he have to get permission

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Acadians in the Azores

Margaret, Good point. I had someone else tell me that Portuguese fisherman were all over the waters around Ireland, England and Scotland in the 1600-1700s and may have married and brought European brides home to the Azores. I guess that accounts for my uncle’s YDNA being predominantly Irish.
