You will have no problem to quickly find the first two and the margin notes, if any, might help you find the others.Liandre is not a Portuguese name, nor any name I've seen.Doug da Rocha HolmesSacramento, CaliforniaPico Terceira Genealogist916-550-1618www.dholmes.com Original Message Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Surnames: Linhares,Amaral,Melo, Furtado,Caetano From: Erin Smith esmith1...@gmail.com Date: Wed, October 15, 2014 9:44 am To: azores@googlegroups.com On Tuesday, October 14, 2014 7:38:36 PM UTC-4, Erin Smith wrote: I was wondering if anyone had any info on where I could trace back my ancestors records in Sao Miguel. I don't speak Portuguese. I have some info on them. My maternal grandfather was born in 1919 in Rhode Island. His father was Manuel (possible first name) Amaral and his mother was Maria Gloria Linhares both were from Sao Miguel. My maternal grandmother was born in Rhode Island in 1920's. Her mother was Maria Melo born 1902 in Vila Franca in Sao Miguel. My grandmom's father was Manuel Furtado Caetano born 1900 in Riberia Quente, Sao Miguel. Mary/Maria Melo was born May 13,1902 Vila Franca Manuel Furtado Caetano born Sept. 4, 1900 Riberia Quente Manuel/Manoel Amaral born Nov. 1, 1877 Unknown town Sao Miguel The one I'm having the most trouble with was born Oct. 8th, 1881 in the census she has been listed as Maria Gloria Amaral , Mary Amaral and a website had her name listed as Gloria Liandre when she was married in 1912. My mom thought it was Linhares. I'm not sure if the website had Liandre as a misspelling or not. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.

Erin S, Don't quote yourself. We can always go back and reread your question. I almost thought it was some kind of mistake and almost deleted your post from the queue because I thought it was identical to yesterday's message. I sent you Manuel Furtado Caetano's birth. That document from yesterday says he was born 4 Sept 1900 in Ribeira Quente. Don't start with the one that you are having trouble with. You will only frustrate yourself. Start with the ones you know the most about. In the how to link I gave you, you will see that you need the name, date, and place (freguesia or village) to begin your research in the Azores. You can chase Manuel Amaral around the U.S. by following the information in the how to link. One of those sources may turn up his freguesia. Start with Manuel Furtado Caetano from Ribeira Quente. Go to the how to and look at the format that the baptisms are in. Then look at his birth and see if you can find the names. The dates are usually the hardest because they are written out long hand (four September one thousand nine hundred). Collect all his siblings. That way you are learning how to read the handwriting. That priest in R.Quente doesn't have the best penmanship, so it will be a little hard. But I've seen worse penmanship. And if you are a young person and don't use handwriting, you may have to go back and familiarize yourself with cursive handwriting. Your lines will tie into mine and go back to Ponta Garca and tie in a larger group of people.
