[AZORES-Genealogy] general filing question

This is not necessarily related to our Azores people, but I'm wondering what is the recommended filing system for women who have more than one marriage. Generally for a male I keep everything related to my direct connection (i.e., Husband + Wife 1) together in a file with their names; if I

I know I'm a little late here, but I want to thank ALL of you who did this work! I used the index for the first time when I was in SLC at the Azores Conference and I was able to fairly quickly locate numerous marriages for various ancestors. It saved me combing through page after page of the

Rick, I was able to get a copy of the book you reference, Azores Islands A History, and I'm wondering if the "standardized last name spellings" that you refer to is the list of names covering about 70 pages that is in a table format giving the Family Name, Name Derivation, Family Origin, and

Yikes! I don't know how you all can read these records. I am starting to look for my gggrandfather born about 1838. I think the record on the lower left for Jose is a sibling but want to make sure I am on the right track. I think it says "Jose son of Manuel Silveira de Souca, son of Manuel

Thank you!! You are both correct that the date was 1837; that was my typo. I did not see the baptism date; it must be just before the word "baptizado" where it reads "dez [something I could not read] mez ". Thank you so much. Now I will keep going to find Joao. Lisa -Original

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] translation confirmation

Thank you to everyone that responded and helped me with this record. Thought I saw "primiero" also but not sure. Also found it interesting that the baptism took place quite awhile after the birth. I'm still a rookie with these records. Have been tracking siblings and extended family now.

[AZORES-Genealogy] translation confirmation

I think this record is my great grandfather. The only US record I have found that I know with certainty is him is his death record (1912) which lists his parents as "John Silveira" and "Marianna Florinda" and gives his birth as "1870" "Azores". What I can get from this record is that he was
