Thanks, Jeanetta Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 09:13:06 -0700 From: carmen_furt...@yahoo.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] NEED HELP WITH PASSPORT To: azores@googlegroups.com Cheri & Joanne, Thanks for the translation - Wednesday while searching I stumbled across that some manifests had two pages - spent the last two days looking up all my saved manifests to see if there was another page - there was so I added it to my Comcast page - both the passport and manifest has Cambridge on it so these two entries match up - I know my great-grandmother was a widow so everything points to her - it's the Cambridge part that bothers me - says her husband is Jose Joaquin - which isn't correct - my grandmother's other brothers and sister came after their mother (my grandmother came first with her aunt Gloria Rolates - to work for money to send for the others to come) - I find they all came with different last names - my grandmother under 'Carvalho' - her mother and brother Jose under 'Joaquin' - her brother Manoel under Rolates - and her brother Antonio and sister Hortensa under Luiz - so it was a job finding them. just checked again and Maria C. Joaquin's mother is Carlota Jesus so this has to be my great grandmother as that was the name of my great-great grandmother!!!! Thanks again.

I think it must be cut off. Top name is cut off, next name is Maria Joaquim with a Jose Joaquim with her. CCA web site # 552 lists a Maria de Conceicao, age 37, a widow, domestic, legitimate birth, born V.Franca (Vila Franca aka Vila Franca do Campo), Matriz (the mother church - its name is Sao Miguel Arcanjo), resides in V.Franca in the Matriz area, slash in the illiterate column, ditto marks for "is an emigrant," going 3rd class, immigrating for the 1st time, I think the next column is North Fork?? I can't make it out; going to Cambridge (I assume MA). Also on passaporte 552 is Jose, age 12, worker, of legitimate birth, born Vila Franca in the Matriz (Sao Miguel Arcanjo church), resides in V. Franca in the Matriz area, slash in the illiterate column, ditto marks for "is an emigrant," going 3rd class, immigrating for the 1st time, ditto for what looks like North Fork??, then filho (son), going to America, Cambridge. Probably the same as the Maria Joaquim & Jose Joaquim on the American site, but without the top, I don't know what I'm look at. Hope this helps.
