Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for any Fragoso descendants from Sao Miguel

Dionísio Fragoso and Catarina de Revoredo are my 10th great-grandparents. I descend from their son Domingos, who married Barbara (or Maria) Curvelo on 21 Feb 1628. I don't have information on any of their other children. Nancy Sent from my iPad > On Jan 23, 2016, at 10:16 AM, mances

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for any Fragoso descendants from Sao Miguel

Hermano, I would love to see your information on Dionisio's and Catarina's other children. I believe we established before that we have José de Frias Bode as a common ancestor. I'm wondering whether Ana's line connects with Domingos's further down. Many thanks. Nancy Sent from my iPad >

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Today Amazon is offering free Ebook called Us and Them by Bill Meara

The free eBook can be downloaded to any device that has the Kindle app. You don't need to have a Kindle. I just downloaded it to my iPad. The family lived ten years in Europe, but only three of those years were spent in the Azores. Nancy Sent from my iPad > On Jun 28, 2016, at 7:23 PM, Diana

Yes, I am leaning toward "Ruda," too. Now I just need to confirm it with some other documents. Thanks for your help. Nancy On Wed, Jun 29, 2016 at 5:31 PM, Carlos Cardoso wrote: > hi, Nancy, I believe it is "Ruda" which was commonly written in those > records for "Arruda"!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] CCA 500 Error

I'm using Safari on a Mac and going directly to the CCA site. I'm getting in about 65% of the time. When I get the error message I just try again, and the page loads. They seem to be working on half a tank of gas, or half a glass of milk, or whatever. I think there might just be too much traffic

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Has anyone upgraded old FTM 16 to newMcKiev

Pam, it's my understanding that if you purchased Mac 3.1 (a Software MacKiev product) you can download FTM 2017 for free. I was using Mac 3.0 (still an Ancestry product) and had to pay about $29 for 2017, which, as software goes, is a bargain. Why not check it out. If you can get 2017 for free,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family tree maker upgrade

In order to sync to Ancestry, you will need to update to FTM 2017, which is developed by Software MacKiev. If you want to do that, you should do it soon, because the prerelease price, if you are eligible for it, is only good before the product ships. How much you will have to pay depends on which

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off subject: FTM

I agree with JR. It is my understanding that anyone who bought the interim MacKiev version was entitled to a free copy of FTM 2017. You might need to pay extra for the miultiple computers license, but you really should be able to get the program for free, since the one you had was never intended

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] FTM issue

Sam, I have FTM 2017, and I have not had any problems syncing with Ancestry. Before the syncing begins, a screen appears showing how many changes, including deletions, will be made. It is then possible to get a report and to cancel the syncing if desired. I find that any deletions shown

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Off subject: FTM

Sam, you have to be signed in to Ancestry from within FTM. If you have gotten disconnected--it happens sometimes--and FTM is still showing you as connected, then sign out of Ancestry and sign in again. Go to the Ancestry icon on the upper right of your screen to do that. It worked for me. But

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

Liz, I have Family Tree Maker, and I have not had any problems. One of the best features of the Software MacKiev version is that it is possible to link more than one family tree to Ancestry. The color coding is also a useful. Nancy Sent from my iPad > -- You received this message

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] D'Aubigne or Dabney Family of Fayal, Azores

K, do you know about the book "On the Edge of History," by Joseph C. Abdo? The first chapter includes a mention of the Huguenot leader Agrippa d'Aubigne. The author states that the brothers Cornelius, John, and Robert d'Aubigne fled to Britain to escape religious persecution. Cornelius and John

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help needed with photograph

Susan, I found this information on the CCA website: "José Pacheco Toste(1850-?) Natural da ilha Terceira, foi viver para São Miguel, onde aprendeu a fotografar com Mariano José Machado. Em 1875 é referenciado como fotógrafo ambulante, altura em que estabeleceu o seu atelier na Rua do Valverde,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Raleza, Antonio Soares

Fernando, Is it possible that the Raleza surname was originally an alcunha and that the spelling has changed? The word "realeza" means "royalty" in both Portuguese and Spanish. Maybe one of Mr. Soares' ancestors was a descendant of royalty, or acted as if he was. Just a guess. Nancy On Sun, Mar

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Modern spelling of Ferias

I believe the name Frias originated in Spain. If you do a Google search on the surname, that's what you'll find. My maternal grandmother was a Frias from Rosario, Lagoa, São Miguel. You'll find a lot of people with that surname in Lagoa. Nancy On Thu, Dec 20, 2018 at 8:04 PM Joseph Mendonca
