Rich; Apologies for the delay in responding. We are leaving the country the day after Thanksgiving, therefore; I am fixing Thanksgiving Dinner for the extended family tomorrow. Today has been a busy day! ;-) Can you tell me more about which of your wife's ancestors with the Soares surname are from Santa Maria? I don't think I have any Alves Soares Arvilla (Maybe Avilla?) in my line but; would be glad to try and help if you can give me a little more information. Names, dates, villages, etc. All the best, Sam in Camas, WA (Soon heading down to Mazatlan, MX) From: Rich Mueller <rich.lik...@gmail.com> To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, November 20, 2014 11:26 AM Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Immigration from Santa Maria - 1898 #yiv5869340253 #yiv5869340253 -- _filtered #yiv5869340253 {font-family:Calibri;panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} _filtered #yiv5869340253 {font-family:Tahoma;panose-1:2 11 6 4 3 5 4 4 2 4;} _filtered #yiv5869340253 {panose-1:2 11 5 2 4 2 4 2 2 3;} _filtered #yiv5869340253 {font-family:Forte;panose-1:3 6 9 2 4 5 2 7 2 3;} _filtered #yiv5869340253 {panose-1:0 0 4 0 0 0 0 0 0 0;}#yiv5869340253 #yiv5869340253 p.yiv5869340253MsoNormal, #yiv5869340253 li.yiv5869340253MsoNormal, #yiv5869340253 div.yiv5869340253MsoNormal {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;}#yiv5869340253 a:link, #yiv5869340253 span.yiv5869340253MsoHyperlink {color:blue;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv5869340253 a:visited, #yiv5869340253 span.yiv5869340253MsoHyperlinkFollowed {color:purple;text-decoration:underline;}#yiv5869340253 p {margin-right:0in;margin-left:0in;font-size:12.0pt;}#yiv5869340253 p.yiv5869340253MsoAcetate, #yiv5869340253 li.yiv5869340253MsoAcetate, #yiv5869340253 div.yiv5869340253MsoAcetate {margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:8.0pt;}#yiv5869340253 p.yiv5869340253MsoListParagraph, #yiv5869340253 li.yiv5869340253MsoListParagraph, #yiv5869340253 div.yiv5869340253MsoListParagraph {margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;font-size:12.0pt;}#yiv5869340253 p.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxspfirst, #yiv5869340253 li.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxspfirst, #yiv5869340253 div.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxspfirst {margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12.0pt;}#yiv5869340253 p.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxspmiddle, #yiv5869340253 li.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxspmiddle, #yiv5869340253 div.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxspmiddle {margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12.0pt;}#yiv5869340253 p.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxsplast, #yiv5869340253 li.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxsplast, #yiv5869340253 div.yiv5869340253msolistparagraphcxsplast {margin-top:0in;margin-right:0in;margin-bottom:0in;margin-left:.5in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;line-height:115%;font-size:12.0pt;}#yiv5869340253 span.yiv5869340253BalloonTextChar {}#yiv5869340253 span.yiv5869340253EmailStyle24 {color:#1F497D;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}#yiv5869340253 .yiv5869340253MsoChpDefault {font-size:10.0pt;} _filtered #yiv5869340253 {margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;}#yiv5869340253 div.yiv5869340253WordSection1 {}#yiv5869340253 Sam, I hope I am not asking too much of you. My wife’s father’s name is surname is Soares and I am struggling getting beyond his father’s birth certificate information. Her Grandfather is listed as John Alves Soares dob 11Dec1901 dod 31May1956 in Honolulu. His father (GGF) is listed as Alves Soares Arvilla – no stats., mother (GGM) is Amilia Rapoza. Is there any connection? From what I can determine someone is from Madeira and others are listed as Santa Maria. The GGF is an enigma. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
