what arrival documents?
who has those?
this is amusing because no one in my family seems to know about this.

Yes seems crazy but people did things for whatever reason and his tombstone 
states that he was born at sea, western Azores. He came to Australia as an 
adult and arrival documents state birthplace is Faial. Baptisms happened as 
soon as possible so could be either nearest church to the port in Horta or 
Lisbon depending on where the boat was headed? Any suggestions which 
parish/freguesia closest to the ports in either place would be a starting point.
Thanks

Why would a woman that pregnant get on the boat if he was born off the coast of 
Faial? If she went into labor and they were off the coast, why didn't they turn 
back and drop the expectant parents off on Faial? The could have caught the 
next boat. Giving birth and getting seasick at the same time?!?! No thank you, 
I'd catch the next boat if I was that pregnant!

If the story is true, I have no idea where Azorean births at sea would be 
recorded in 1838-1841. There was no official vital service record keeping. The 
records of that time period are mainly the Catholic Church. If he was born on a 
boat, they'd have to take the baby to a church to be baptized, which would be a 
Catholic Church in Australia.

Hi Anthony
Some of the Silver family researchers here in Australia believe that your 
Joseph Da Silva was born at sea around 1838 to 1841 off the coast of Faial, one 
of the western islands of the Azores. It is also suggested that records for 
births at sea are kept in Lisbon.
Maybe Cheri or one of the group may know where these birth/baptism records for 
births at sea would be recorded and how to access them. I am guessing there 
would not be a lot of births at sea between 1838 and 1841, and therefore could 
be a starting point for you to find your ancestors.
Hopefully someone can help.

Thankyou Cheri.

Anthony S,

You have to find out which island. It's just the way it is organized there. 
That's how they do their records. I don't know how it works in Australia, but 
I'm sure if I wrote to the main Australian government and said I want the birth 
certificate of my long lost cousin who went to Australia, they couldn't help 
me. I'm sure I'd need a location for them to pull a record for me. You need a 
location in the Azores.

All occupations existed in the 1860s. Laborers, farmers, fisherman, servants, 
merchants, teachers, etc. No tech jobs, no electricians, no plumbers, as those 
things just didn't exist.

I believe schooling was very limited and was only for the well to do. Schooling 
for the common people didn't start happening until sometime in the 1900s.

You need to find every possible record that your immigrant ancestor may have 
left in Australia. You need at least an island. If you have exhausted that, 
then you will need to turn to DNA and you will need to test the oldest family 
members you can find and you will have to test multiple family members in order 
to get enough of your immigrant's DNA to figure out the puzzle.

Good luck,
