Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC books

2016-10-23 Thread Cakemom102 via Azores Genealogy 
Lisa, I have the book that you are speaking about "The Holy Ghost  Festas". 
 It was published by Portuguese Heritage Publications and is now  out of 
print.  You can get a CD of the book by going to their webpage,  
PortugueseBooks.org  This was the information that they gave me last  year when 
I was 
looking for the book for a friend.
 
Here is an excerpt from their webpage.
. 
Note: This  publication is currently sold  out and  there are no future 
plans for a 3rd edition. Anyone interested in or doing  research on the 
Portuguese in California may acquire the _Holy Ghost  Festas CD_ 
(http://portuguesebooks.org/books/the-holy-ghost-festas-cd/)  – the complete 
text of the 
original  book.

available  in many libraries in California and a few other random libraries

Hi!  
I would be interested to hear what you find as I live in Sacramento.  I 
have memories of going to going to a few conventions with my mom of the  SPRSI 
and I just have a hunch that there would be little of genealogical  value in 
“Sessions of the Supreme Council of UPEC” but am interested to  hear what 
you find. The real value of the membership books are that they  often give 
the island of origin information and some family relationships  in the 
beneficiaries listed in their rolls. 
Happy hunting!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC books

2016-10-22 Thread themom8682 via Azores Genealogy 
The UPEC books (all in Portuguese of course) contained the records of the 
business of the organization.  There were some pages in the books that folded 
out with copies of the "death" records showing what was paid out and to whom.  
I have a close friend who has a great great grandfather that was president of 
the UPEC for a time so there were many many references to him in the books.  


I did find a small gem in a book about the Festas in California.  There is a 
1-4 page history of each of the festas from different areas all over 
California.  I learned that my 3g uncle founded the festa in Sausalito AND 
there was a photo of him in the book!  Also, there was a photo from the Yreka 
area festa of some cousins through another 3g uncle.

Hi!
I would be interested to hear what you find as I live in Sacramento. I have 
memories of going to going to a few conventions with my mom of the SPRSI and I 
just have a hunch that there would be little of genealogical value in “Sessions 
of the Supreme Council of UPEC” but am interested to hear what you find. The 
real value of the membership books are that they often give the island of 
origin information and some family relationships in the beneficiaries listed in 
their rolls. 
Happy hunting!

PS….I have not been to that library for years but if I am remembering 
correctly, I did look at original books for marriages in Alameda County ….which 
was very cool.

know which book to look in and really scour it for your person.
