Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with godfather's name

Sebastiao Squiggles. Yep, looks like the guy had another sip of vinho with
each line! (This is the reason I tell my math students not to squish their
work...they will mess it up)!

If I had to take a guess, Sebastiao Alexandre something something Lopes
 I can see Lianor Clara. I'm really don't think Sebastiao's 2nd name is
Alexandre, but I can see the "xandre" or "xondre" which makes me think
Alexandre, but I don't think it's right.

More people need to take a look.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Sidenote help. Sao Pedro, Santa Maria

2019-03-27 Thread Cheri Mello
Margin note 1,starts on lower left, goes up to the upper right, then back
down to the lower left and then up and over the upper right!!! Gads!

It says that the referenced individual, Manuel Soares Coelho, had a
Catholic marriage on the 24 July 1000 800 90 5 with Maria Umbelina de
Jesus, native of the same, daughter of Manuel da Fonte and Jacinta Umbelina
and then it references where to find the marriage and is signed by the
person on 7 Oct 1997. Note 2 says the marriage was dissolved by the death
of the conjugate, Maria Umbelina de Jesus, on the 30 and 1 of March 1000
900 and 5 of the same parish and then I *think* it says where to find it
(this is getting squishy), and I see the date of 7 Oct 1997 (date they made
the note). Then #3 says there was a Catholic marriage on 17 May 1000 900
and 6 with Bernardina Umbelina de Fontes, native of the same, daughter of
Manuel Joaquim de Fontes and Jacinta Umbelina, and where the record can be
found.

None of this explains them making the note in 1997 though. Maybe there was
property and this is when it got settled

Debbie,

It's not that unusual. John Raposo knows a lot about the history and may be
able to shed some light on it.

Some sources say the Portuguese started the slave trade, some say the
Dutch. Regardless, the Portuguese were involved in it.

2019-03-26 Thread Cheri Mello
Yeah, but you know how they kinda clip off the endings when they speak. So
that's why I was wondering if it was supposed to be a closer spelling to
Latin. But then again, they probably would have needed to spell out the
Latin, regardless of how they may have clipped it off in speech.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Portuguese Genealogy Conference deadline is 2 months away

2019-03-26 Thread Cheri Mello
(Cross posted to the Azores, Madeira, and Island Routes lists)

The Portuguese Genealogy Conference and Research Trip will be held in Salt
Lake City, Utah from June 25-28, 2019. The deadline to register and book
your hotel room is May 24th, only 2 months away. Rosemarie and I still have
room for conference attendees. The Plaza Hotel was getting low on rooms
(assigned to our block), although the hotel had plenty (as of a month ago).
So if you are seriously thinking of going, you may want to book sooner
rather than later.

The conference is $90 USD for 4 days of classes, computer lab time, and
one-on-one assistance. Most conferences you only get classes and few might
have some computer lab. Rosemarie and I want you to really put what you are
learning to work! So that is why we have the evenings open to help you.

The registration packet link is below. It's still version 1. There is a
version 2 that I'm waiting to be posted (Kathy Cardoza, the webmaster, has
a life too, so she'll get to it when she gets to it). The only difference
is that Rosemarie and I had a discussion and we decided instead of lumping
up the DNA on mainly one day that we would spread it out over the course of
the conference. The hours are mostly the same:
(Monday - Dessert Social/Welcome/Meet & Greet in the evening for those
flying it that day)
Tuesday 9 - 5
Wednesday 8 - 5 (sorry for the early start!)
Thursday 9:30 - 5 (Group photo at 9 a.m.)
Friday 9 - 3:30 or so
After dinner (and after 3:30 on Friday) will be the one-on-ones and
research assistance.
Saturday, Rosemarie and I are both available. I think Rosemarie will be
leaving about lunch time I think I leave a couple hours later.

Here's the link to the registration packet.

this past weekend. I will posting a few summaries throughout this week
about what took place.

Typically, this conference is held in November, and typically, they start
the Holiday sale then or a couple of weeks after. The conference had to be
moved to March and the holidays are definitely NOT around the corner, but
they did a mini sale anyways. It is good for the following products only,
though March 31, 2019 at 11:59 pm PDT.

All prices in United States Dollars (USD)

If you are an existing customer, log into your account, look towards the
upper right corner where your name is, and click on Add-ons and Upgrades to

List Members,

Do NOT share the file through the list. We do NOT have permission from the
Seminary to share the file in that way. Permission was granted to the
Azores GenWeb ONLY. Please download it from there.

I needed to delete the message with the attached file. Every response with
the file attached will be deleted. Sorry, but I have to do the right thing,
and as the Listowner, I'm the one that they come down on.
Thank you for understanding,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with Paternal Grandfather's name

2019-03-21 Thread Cheri Mello
 Hi Leonor,

I'm going to respond on a thread that you started and not Mario's.

On your paternal side, from the mainlandYou are in a gap between the
records and what is online, I believe. You are going to have to pay to get
your dad's birth, as the 1920s births would list the grandparents. And from
there you could go back in time. If you still have your Portuguese identity
card, you can order the record yourself. I think it's here (looks like the
redesigned the web site): https://eportugal.gov.pt/  If you no longer have
your card, see if Joao Ventura, the archivist who lives on Terceira can get
it for you: heroi99 at yahoo.com

On the ancestress who has no father (or no parents)...I can see your tree
on FTDNA. I'm not sure who you are referring to, as I'd need a name. I can
see Monica de Jesus with no parents listed. I don't know if that means you
are going to come back around to work her line or she's an exposta. If she
is the exposta, put "Pai Incognito" for her dad and Mae Incognita for her
mom. That's what us researchers do for our expostos or pai incognito lines.
Then there's no assumption on anyone's part. :)

2019-03-19 Thread Cheri Mello
Debbie,

We try to do it about every 18 months or so. It depends on the availability
at the host hotel (number of hotel rooms available for our group and if the
lecture room is available).

So the next one would probably be in the fall of 2020 (first week of Sept
or so). Then spring of 2022 (typically 2nd week of April if it works out
with the hotel).

Jacinta de Jesus Raposo) and Maria Luisa (d/o Manuel dos Santos Calheta and
Jacinta Emilia)
3) Maria #2, b. 8 Mar 1903, d/o Joao Bernardo (s/o Jacinto Bernardo and
Jacinta de Jesus) and Maria dos Santos (d/o Jose Cabral and Maria Ricarda)

It takes 9 months to have a baby, so there's no way kid #2 and kid #3 are
from the same Joao Bernardo. That's only 6 months apart.

Kid #1 doesn't have maternal grandparents that match the other kids.

Where is Maria #1?

This is going to be tedious, but you need to go record by record recording
every single kid born to every Joao Bernardo you can find. You might be
able to shortcut it a little by checking marriages for every single Joao
Bernardo.

I've seen freguesia who would have, say, a Joao Bernardo, a son name Joao
Bernardo, and uncle named Joao Bernardo, a cousin named Joao Bernardo, and
at some point it gets crazy and they start using nicknames or tacking on a
second surname.

The CITCEM hosted on UMinho is probably *mostly* accurate. Since it was
created by a team of sociology students, you need to cross check with the
CCA. We all make mistakes. Who knows if it's 70% accurate or 80% accurate

Hunt every piece of evidence you can find. You don't know where that clue

It too, took me 4 years and 25 documents before I found it! Congratulations!

2019-03-17 Thread Cheri Mello
(Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and IslandRoutes lists)

Today is the last day to get $20 USD off of Family Finder at Family Tree
DNA (regularly $79 USD and on sale for $59 USD. Add $12.95 S to each kit).

For a NEW customer (you have never tested or you are testing someone who
has never tested with FTDNA) order here:

Azores: https://t2m.io/wLGukUji
Madeira: https://t2m.io/X2qQzwPS

If you are an EXISTING FTDNA customer, log into your page with your kit
number and code, and order that way.

The past 4 or so years, FTDNA has also had a DNA sale in honor of DNA Day -
the discovery of DNA. This year, DNA Day is April 25th, so they *could*
have a small sale around that weekend. Just because they have in the past
does not mean that they will this year. Also, I have no advance knowledge
of what types of DNA tests they will put on sale.

Hi Karen,

You need a name, date, and specific place. Not just the island. Everything 
in the Azores is organized on the town (freguesia) level.

The Madeira Islands, of which there are two (Madeira and Porto Santo) is a 
different archipelago than the Azores Islands, of which there are 9 (Santa 
Maria, Sao Miguel, Terceira, Graciosa, Sao Jorge, Pico, Faial, Flores, and 
Corvo).

I'm not clear on who you are researching or what time period (date). You 
are researching someone on Madeira, but going to the Azores. Morte means 
death. That's not a surname that's used over there, unless it's some kinda 
of strange nickname.

I'm not sure if this is the case here. Did this baby die?

I'm pretty sure it's a term though. In my American research, when I've seen
a baby referred to as a "creature" the baby died. It appeared to have birth
defects. I don't know that would be the case in the Azores though. I've
seen babies called "creatures."

[AZORES-Genealogy] How to start a new subject, topic, or thread on any List-serv or Group

2019-03-16 Thread Cheri Mello
Here's how to start a new subject, topic, or thread on any list-serv or
group. We will use this group as an example.

1) Go to your email client and click button for Compose or New Email or
what have you.
2) In the To or Address box, put: azores@googlegroups.com
3) In the Subject, put your subject, as you would any email. I do suggest
trying to put the 3 key pieces in the subject, if applicable. Name, date
(or range) and place. Many people are still working and scan the subject
heading for their area. "Help Me" or "I'm New" or "Translate This" will
miss a good chunk of the reading audience as they are busy. But you put
"Silva, 1860-1880s, Sao Miguel island" and you've just made the busy people
stop and look at your email.
4) In the body, put what you know, what research you've done, what you need
help with, etc.

Hope this helps those who are new to list-servs and groups :)

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translation Assistance - Graciosa - Pedro do Conde Sodre

2019-03-16 Thread Cheri Mello
Debbie,

The records are the spelling rules before 1911.  The translators use the
modern spellings. So that is why you see the discrepancies.

The number one: um, hum, and hu (with the tilde over the u) is one that
confuses the translator. Many others exist too.

[AZORES-Genealogy] How to transfer your DNA to Family Tree DNA

2019-03-16 Thread Cheri Mello
Here's how to transfer your DNA to Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). It's free to
transfer and the matching is free. To unlock FTDNA's tools is $19 USD.

Yes, I know I have 3 Step 1s. Pick the company you tested with out of Step
and and go to Step 2. Step 4 is only for AncestryDNA testers.

1) Download the raw data from Ancestry DNA:
https://support.ancestry.com/s/article/Downloading-Raw-DNA-Data-1460089696533

1) Download the raw data from My Heritage:

https://faq.myheritage.com/DNA/Manage-DNA-/951697461/How-do-I-download-my-raw-DNA-data-file-from-MyHeritage.htm



1) Down the raw data from 23 and Me (v.3, v.4, v.5):

https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/212196868-Accessing-and-Downloading-Your-Raw-Data



2) While waiting for the file to be compiled and emailed, create an account
on FTDNA:
https://www.familytreedna.com/autosomal-transfer

3) Download the raw data file that is in the email. Hopefully, it downloads
to the Download folder or the Desktop.



4) AncestryDNA changed their chip again and it's incompatible. Use this
converter tool:
http://www.mapmy23.com/tools/ancestry_ftdna_fix.php



5) Upload the raw data to the FTDNA page. Then join the Azores DNA project.

i) Log into the FTDNA page with the kit number and password.

ii) Across the top is says: myFTDNA, DNA Tests, ProjectsPoint at
Projects. When the drop down menu appears, click "Join a project."

iii) If the Azores Islands appears on the top, click the link and scroll
down to the JOIN button at the end.

iv) If the Azores Islands is not suggested, scroll down to where it says
"Search by Surname" and type: azores.

 v) When Azores Islands appears, click the link and follow the
directions.

2019-03-16 Thread Cheri Mello
There's something like 2700+ people in that seminary file. I don't think
all became priests. I found a 3rd cousin listed and he's not a priest.
There was a note after his name that said he was absent.

Ooooh, another link for us to explore. Maybe Kathy Cardoza can figure out
how to link it to the Azores GenWeb for us! I had searched an ancestor name
and freguesia which caused me to pick up that seminary document.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Tracking My Grandparents lost without a trace

2019-03-15 Thread Cheri Mello
Hi Mario or Billy,

You are looking a church records. They are done by date. If it's a baptism,
they are going by baptism date. So they are chronological. It may take more
than 2 days to get used to it though.

Silva/Silvia and things like that, you'll get use to it.

If you know your dad was Mariano and was born 14 Apr 1914, you can get his
baptism which will provide his parents and his grandparents and from there,
you can use the online records. You need to know the exact village your dad
came from. If he came from the city of Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel, you'll
need to know the church as they have a few.

Once you get the 3 piece of information (name, date, and place -village
and/or church), you can pay Joao Ventura to retrieve the record for you. He
takes PayPal. His email is heroi99 at yahoo.com

After that, we can show you the format that the records follow for the 3
time periods. It's on the Azores GenWeb here:
http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/research-aids-a---l/finding-your-portuguese/finding-your-portuguese-9/

And if you learn better in person than reading and figuring it out on your
own, you are in luck. We are having a Portuguese Genealogy Conference in
June in Salt Lake City. That information is here:
http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/2019slcazoresconfv12.pdf

Good luck,

 I somehow tripped across this in an Internet search.

The title says it's a list of students from the Seminary in Angra, from
1862-2013. They are all boys, some as young as 10. Not everyone becomes a
priest. It lists the name of the student, where they are from, their
parents, and age. There's an admission date, so just subtract for an

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] visiting the Azores in May

2019-03-14 Thread Cheri Mello
Deb,

If you know where you are going, rent a car. Or you can go to the taxi
stand, ask for an English speaking driver, tell him where you want to go.
Ask him how long it will take to get there and back, and an hour (or
whatever to sightsee). If he says 4 hours, ask him what he makes in 4 hours
and pay him that. Many people on this list have kept the names and numbers
of specific taxi drivers who kinda double as tour guides. I'm sure they
will speak up.

I don't know which freguesias your ancestors were from. Sao Miguel is the
largest island, 40 miles or so by 10 miles or so. If your ancestors are
from the western end of the island, stay in Ponta Delgada. If they are from
the northern side, you may want to say in Ribeira Grande. So it just
depends.

Others with Pico and Faial connections will probably have recommendations.
Good luck and enjoy! Cheri

2019-03-12 Thread Cheri Mello
OK, maybe if "Matt's" nephew is still on this list, he can say something
and we can stop playing this game of "Matt."

Too bad no one remembers the lady from America who came looking for family
:( Rats.

Get the Y-DNA test that fits your budget. The more markers, and providing
that the Genetic Distance isn't much, the better. There's nothing wrong
with starting out with 37 and upgrading later as the budget allows. For a
37 marker match, I'm finding that the Genetic Distance (GD) needs to be
0,1,2, for a Y67, the GD (Genetic Distance) needs to be 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4. I
don't have a whole lot of people at Y111 who have figured it out, but my
guess would be that they need a GD of 0-5. (There aren't as many "fast
moving" markers in that final panel for me to say the GD could be 0-6. Yet.
As more people take Y-DNA testing and figure out the matches, then I can
say with more confidence what the GD should be).

Try for a brother-in-law (cunhado) first. You may be able to talk them into
Family Finder later. More data to play with. Cheri

Bill,
Email me offlist with your wife's kit number and the name of her DNA match.
OR screen shot the match and block out the name of the match. OR contact
the match and ask permission to post their name and picture, but be sure to
explain to them that you are removing their name and picture from the
security of the FTDNA web site and are posting it on the the World Wide Web
and anyone with Internet access will be able to find out that they have DNA
tested. Be sure that they understand that by your action, they cannot hold
anyone else liable for the knowledge that they DNA tested is out there. And
then send me that permission to post his/her name and picture.

It's hard to help the Austrialians and New Zealanders in that time period.
I don't know what resources they have for that time period.

Instead of trying to prove that is guy is the match's guy, prove that he's
not. Maria dies first (her obit does NOT say he's "ausente") so look for
his death in that parish. Maria's obit also says she left 2 children. You
need to reconcile that as well.  I'd look for children of Maria and this
Francisco for 5 years after Oct 1855 just to be really sure. And be really
sure that you don't have 2 Francisco Joses married to 2 Maria Isabels in
that same freguesia. I would think it would be very difficult to lie on a
confession roll as well. The priest would find out.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Confusing Birth Dates

2019-03-12 Thread Cheri Mello
Good question. I'm guessing it could go either way. You could record the
actual birthday and in your note/memo field, explain the discrepancy. Or
you could record what is on the paper and put the real birthday in your
memo/note field. If someone is going to duplicate your work, they would go
looking for the date on the paper.

In my discrepancy case, I've recorded the date on the certificate in my
program with notes written in my memo field. I bet half the people would do
it the other way. Go with whatever you feel.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] A few new books on the CCA

2019-03-10 Thread Cheri Mello
The general guideline that USED TO be followed was that the books from the
Civil Registries that were over 100 years old would be sent to the archives
on years divisible by 5. So that batch ending in 1905 was sent over in
2005. The next batch (1906-1910) should have been sent in 2010. And so
forth and so on. When I went to Sao Miguel last summer (2018) and asked for
books between 1906-1915, I was told that the arquives was full and they
weren't accepting any more books. George Pacheco went there after me and
found they did have some books for a few parishes (I think it was the
council of Ponta Delgada). Maybe they figured out how to make more room and
are accepting the records from the Civil Registries again.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Birth information

2019-03-09 Thread Cheri Mello
Gayle,

Good to know Reunion has a Baptism event. For programs that allows people
to "create" their own event, people need to be careful. When a Gedcom is
created, some of those created events aren't Gedcom compliant and create
havoc when imported. My genealogy program has no event for dispensation. I
need that when researching Portuguese lines. So I created one, but looked
at the Gedcom codes and assigned it to "EVEN" for "event" so when it
imports to another person, it will come through in some kind of format that
makes sense.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Birth information

2019-03-08 Thread Cheri Mello
Hi Walt,

My genealogy program has a Baptism tag (some program calls them events). So
I enter the baptism date into the baptism field and leave it at that. The
first time period doesn't record the birth dates. Cheri

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Avo incognito, Avo occulto; difference?

2019-03-08 Thread Cheri Mello
The "adulterer" term isn't used as in today's definition. Basically, one
(or both) parties were married. I have one record in my family where
Francisco was single, Maria was married to So-and-So. Francisco and Maria
had a baby. Francisco was listed as the adulterer. By today's definition,
Maria was the adultress and Francisco having relations with a married woman
isn't a nice thing, but I can't think of a "proper" word for that in the
English language. I know lots of name-calling terms for that, but I don't
think there's a proper word for a single man who has a relationship with a
married woman.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] US Naturalization pre-1906

2019-03-06 Thread Cheri Mello
Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel covers about 1/3 of the island. It's a fairly
large area.

Sit down with your grandfather and go to the Azores GenWeb here:
http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/maps-churches-and-villages/sao-miguel/

Read every freguesia and church that belongs to Ponta Delgada. Maybe it
will jog his memory if you say it.

And get his DNA. He was born about 1930-31, so he has DNA in him back to
about 1730-31. You'll want to use it to verify your paper trail and to
overcome those "pai incognito" lines. There are many people from the Ponta
Delgada council and we're still in survey/census mode, trying to collect as
much data as we can.
Order here:
https://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=AzoresIslands
You want the Family Finder test. You will eventually want to add on Y-DNA
37, 67, or 111 and mtDNA (Full Sequence). It may go on sale towards the end
of April (in honor of the day DNA was founded). If one DNA company has a
St. Patrick's Day sale, the others might follow suit, so the price may drop
about $20 USD. I suggest you use Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) because they use
cheek swabs (looks like giant Q-tips). It's much easier for senior citizens
than the saliva/spit tube samples.

Good luck. I hope you jog his memory. Cheri

Justin B,

Pre-1906, post 1906, it doesn't matter. If they are using the name of the
council it could be the city proper or somewhere within that council. My
ancestor naturalized in 1956 and she gave the council, not the freguesia
(village). It took me 4 years and 25 documents before I found the one with
the freguesia (this was all done B.C. - before computers!)

What do you know about your ancestor so far? What documents have you found?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] July 1900 disaster Santa Maria?

2019-03-02 Thread Cheri Mello
Hope no one reads this while drinking their morning coffee or having a meal.

Sanitation (or lack thereof) could be a cause. I was researching a
non-Portuguese line in Kentucky in the 1850s. And they had death records!
First the 2 or 3 year old dies. Two weeks later, mom dies and the 8 year
old dies only 2 days after the mom. Cause of death: Flux. Old term for
dysentery. I had to look that one up too. Really bad diarrhea. I could only
imagine the mom, who washed the diapers and other clothes, then went to
cook or peel potatoes or something. Or even kissed or touched the other
child with infected hands. Wiped his nose. Anything. Hand washing wasn't a
thing back then. And I'm guessing it was the same all over the world. I saw
a PBS show where a doctor was trying to figure out all these people dying
in one location and then a random person several miles away. Who it turned
out was in the core area (lack of sanitation) and picked up the illness.
The stuff we didn't know back then. Simple hand washing to prevent a lot of
illness. Terribly sad.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Another surname question: Santos and dos Santos

2019-03-01 Thread Cheri Mello
Santos is the surname. "dos" the prefix.

Literally:
dos= of the (plural)
Santos= Saints.

They may both be siblings of Bob G's Maria. If his Maria was born on 31 Dec
1889, the baptism should appear in January of 1890. Unless he's off a year.

2019-03-01 Thread Cheri Mello
I believe Rick is correct. I'm not a FTM user, but I don't think that
program asks for Given Names and then Last Name. I think it just asks for
Name and does the American thing of assuming the very last name is the
surname. It doesn't work that way in all countries.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] which is correct, "z" or "s"

2019-03-01 Thread Cheri Mello
Trindade is not her surname. It's part of her given name. Many women take a
devotional name as their middle name.

The 2nd time period (1860 or so - 1911 or so) the women didn't have
surnames. So if they didn't have surnames, I don't force one. It didn't
happen there and I"m not going to put my American way of research onto a
Portuguese naming custom.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] which is correct, "z" or "s"

2019-03-01 Thread Cheri Mello
Yes, most of us now just use the modern spelling. It's a headache down the
road when you get a few thousand people. Say the marriage says Manoel da
Souza and Marianna da Trindade, I enter Manuel da Sousa and Mariana da
Trindade and I put in the marriage note field "married as Manoel da Souza
and Marianna da Trindade."

De Da DoYeah, if we all used them, then the majority of Portuguese
names would begin with the letter D! The De Da Do is really a surname
prefix. In the above example I would enter the names like this:
Given: Manuel da
Surname: Sousa
and for her:
Given: Mariana da Trindade
Surname:

Her surname is left blank. I can search by first name in my fully featured
genealogy program, so it's not a problem at all.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Tarrabazana/Tarrabagna

2019-03-01 Thread Cheri Mello
If you are using the DNA ethnicity estimates to assume your grandfather was
Spanish and from Taragona, that's a dangerous assumption. DNA ethnicity
ESTIMATES are just that - ESTIMATES. They are kinda in the toddler stage of
life. My dad, who is 50% Portuguese was classified as a good chunk of
French for a very long time. He has 0% French (even on his "American"
side). It's evolved; I think he's now classified as 38% Ibeiran now.

About 1910-1911  they changed the "z" to an "s" (although we have people
writing the records who weren't the best of spellers). There's been a more
recent change too, but that won't affect what we are researching. Let our
grandkids deal with that one! LOL

Z and S can sound the same in Portuguese. And it's a 5 syllable word. I'm
wondering how "b" becomes "g" and a syllable gets dropped if your theory is
correct. You have your immigrant ancestor from Spain to Lagoa and know he

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with maternal grandfather’s name

Go find this Manuel Pacheco "Tarrabazana" marriage and all his kids. See
how the name gets spelled in all those records. It may be a misspelling or
perhaps the priest was hard-of-hearing or the scribe couldn't read the
notes and took a guess at Tarrabazana.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] A DNA Success Story

2019-02-26 Thread Cheri Mello
Endogamy isn't as simple as "cousins marrying." Many people completely
misunderstand that explanation. They find that their John Smith marries his
first cousin, Jane Jones, and they state "I have endogamy in my tree!" Uh,
no they don't. They have a cousin marriage. Those of us who come from truly
endogamous populations have to keep explaining this over and over. Endogamy
is when a person has MANY ancestors marrying cousins, causing one to be
related to various cousins in multiple ways.

Any good, fully-featured genealogy program would show this for endogamy:
[image: image.png]

That's just ONE cousin example. I could pick another cousin (not the
sibling, not her first cousin), but basically close my eyes and blindly
pick another cousin and get something similar. A cousin marriage would have
just shown the 4C1R and clicking the Progenitors button to locate the
couple in my program would show they are first cousins. So I now state that
it's being related to "multiple people in multiple ways." It seems to be a
thing in genealogy now where people want to be something else. Many
Americans try to claim Cherokee (as if there is no other tribe in America).
And now with DNA, people are trying to claim endogamy. When Kalani Mondoy,
the Hawaiian Polynesian DNA Admin, and I go to DNA meetings or man DNA
education tables, we generally have to go over the difference between a
"cousin marriage" and what really is endogamy. We wish people would quit
using "cousin marriage" as the definition for endogamy. It's not a cousin
marriage.

As I mentioned, "robust tree" is how genetic genealogists refer to
researching their family genealogy. It's the collateral lines and bringing
them FORWARD. When I first got into genealogy in the early 90s, I took a
class. We were taught that proper genealogy was to research your ancestral
couple (name, date, place and birth, marriage, death), get ALL their kids
(same pieces of information), and then get ALL the grandkids (same pieces
of information). So basically come forward to the 1st cousin level from an
ancestral couple. With DNA connecting us to more of our 2nd, 3rd, and
beyond cousins, we are having to bring our trees a little further forward
in time, trying to collect the great and even 2 greats of our ancestral
couple. Coming forward in time with as many lines as you can is a robust
tree. It's not the number lines or the amount of people. It's bringing as
many of your lines forward in time as you can.

Pedigree collapse is when you find you don't have to research a particular
line because you have already researched it because it's being repeated due
to cousins marrying. So you don't need to research it back in time. It's
already done. Pedigree collapse is researching BACKWARDS. You're kinda
morphing pedigree collapse into robust tree and confusing the terms :)
Time to start a new thread! This one is completely off topic!

Gustavo,

Everything regarding Azores genealogical research is on the Azores GenWeb.
We try to make it a one-stop shop for our research needs:
http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/

Bookmark or save that site.

Point at the Maps, Databases, and pick your island.

If you have a file you would like donated to the Azores GenWeb, contact the
webmaster, Kathy Cardoza at kmacardoza at mac.com

If you find a link to an index that would be a helpful finding aid, copy
the URL and send it to Kathy as well.

Rocio is not in the surname section of James Guill's "A History of the

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] A question about following the correct lineage

2019-02-24 Thread Cheri Mello
Mary B,

They could be related. Or what was considered a wealthy family. If anything
happened to the parents, they knew that the godparents would be financially
able to take care of them. Or sometimes it was a prominent family that they
had an affiliation with. So many scenarios to chose from.

Sam,

Yes, you kinda have to go with an educated guess. Then try to prove it with
DNA.

I come from a Miguel Correia in the Sao Miguel Arcanjo in Vila Franca. Son
of Manuel Correia married to a Maria de Souza in the very early 1700s. I
found Miguel's baptism and then I went about finding his siblings. It takes
9 months to make a baby. Miguel was born May 8 of 1709. OK, go back to July
of 1708. So I started scrolling the mircofilm (this was B.C. - Before
Computers). So I landed in July and scrolled back in time until I found
another baby. Let's say the baby was born in December 1707 to make this
example easy to follow. OK December (12) minus 9 months = March. Scroll,
scroll, scoll. This is a Matriz and it's large. Stop and see if I'm in
March. Nope, I'm in July and low and behold, Manuel Correia and Maria de
Sousa are having a baby. There's no way a couple can have a baby in July
and then present a baby in December for baptism. So I went back looking at
every single record for ALL babies born to ANY Manuel Correia and Maria de
Sousa. I took took them all home (the printed copies - this was B.C
remember). The couple of times that the babies were born too close
together, I knew it belonged to the other family. Then I looked at the
godparents. One set of godparents seemed to appear over and over again. So
I sorted the families based on godparents. Then I checked the births and it
fits. So one Manuel Correia family has one set of godparents for their kids
and the other Manuel Correia family has the mishmash godparents. Am I
right? I have no idea. It's kinda of an educated guess. Because it's the
very early 1700s, it's a little too far back for autosomal (Family Finder
DNA). My dad's DNA should go back to about the 1730s and this line is about
25 years before that. So I'd have to find a male Correia and Y-DNA test
them and then find a male Correia from the other Manuel and Y-DNA test and
hope they aren't 1st cousins or something. And if they are? I may be back
to my educated guess.

When I have some time, I really should work this line more forwards and
look for ALL siblings of both Manuel Correias and Maria de Sousas. And
cross check for godparents.

So long story short - if the records are old you are stuck with an educated
guess. If the records are 1800s, DNA could possibly answer the question for
you.

Yes, Bartolomeu Barbosa & Maria de Sousa married 30 Mar 1678, but I have a
Francisco b. 18 Feb 1663 (Bartholomeu would be 5 which is impossible). I've
merged the wrong people together or I have made a really big typo on the
year. On Maria de Sousa, I have her as both Maria de Sousa and Maria de
Sousa Lima with a note saying Canto has her as Maria de Lima.

This is the screwed up work that I have, but it's gotta be wrong. I think
part of this came from Rodrigo Rodrigues' work as well.

 My merging problem goes back to the 90s when I first attempted to merge

Hi Fernando,

I think you are looking for Marianna under the wrong name. Francisco
marries under the name of Francisco de Souza Vieira (top right):
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-VF-SAOMIGUEL-C-1705-1743/SMG-VF-SAOMIGUEL-C-1705-1743_item1/P34.html

I descend from Francisco's brother (I think. I've got a merging problem).
And Iria was a typo in my computer (which I fixed). Try looking again for
your Marianna with a father of Francisco Vieira or Francisco Vieira Sousa
or Francisco Sousa Vieira. Or better yet, a Marianna born to a Francisco
Anybody with an Iria (those "I"s can look weird). Maybe he used Francisco
Barboza at Marianna's baptism. I would think the key would be Iria.

I'm going to call my cousin Shirley Allegre and tell her to log in and read
your post. Who knows if she has more on your family.  Cheri

Start a new post with a new subject line. Right now, only people who are

something like: Family of Francisco da Souza and Iria de Mello from Vila

[AZORES-Genealogy] The difference between Y-DNA and mtDNA mutations

2019-02-19 Thread Cheri Mello
 (Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and Island Routes lists)

A project member had a question about mutations or differences and genetic
distance on Y and mtDNA. Basically the question had to do with how Y-DNA
mutates versus mtDNA.

Here's my analogy (complete with a Sao Miguel slant): You have a green
banana and a green pineapple. In a couple of days, your banana is turning
yellow. Give it a couple of more days, and it will start to freckle. That
pineapple though? It's still green. It needs more like a couple of weeks
for it to start to ripen.

Y-DNA is the banana ripening. It ripens relatively quickly compared to the
pineapple. Y-DNA has mutations that happen on a more frequent basis. Some
might happen only in a couple of hundred of years.

MtDNA is the pineapple ripening. It takes a looong time for it to ripen.
The mtDNA mutations happen much, much less frequently. They mutate more on
a period of every couple of THOUSANDS of years. So to have a perfect match
on mtDNA and not find the common ancestor would not be unusual. It mutates
so slowly. It makes it more difficult to find matches. People want
instant gratification so they don't test mtDNA. Therefore, the mtDNA
portion of  most of the Azores and Madeira DNA Projects is more in a census
or survey mode. There's been a few mtDNA matches, but they have been on
smaller Azorean islands. We are still working on building this up. As more
and more people test, we will be able to figure out about half of our mtDNA
matches - due to their nature of mutating so slowly. The other half may be
so far back (thousands of years) that we may not be able to find it with
the paper trail.

Hope this analogy helps! Cheri Mello, Family Tree DNA Admin (volunteer)

Leonor,

I hope you got your husband's 97-year-old grandma's DNA! Her DNA can get
you back to about the 1720s! (About 200 years before her birth). If she
can't make saliva (many older people cannot), use Family Tree DNA or My
Heritage DNA. Both use a giant Q-tip swab that you rub inside the cheek.
Even if you don't know how to use the DNA with your paper trail genealogy,
trust me, you will want it.  Cheri

He married on the 20 something of April 1000 900 20 and 1?? with Maria
Soares de Moura, she's 27 (I think), she's a native of Santa Barbara,
daughter of Jose Figuerido and Maria de Moura. The note was made 27 April
1928, so I would think that they married in 1928, not 1921.

Hopefully someone else can get more out of it.
