Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Visit

*Ken,* *I agree with Susan and Rosemarie.You're dreaming if you think you can visit more than one Island in 3 days and do it justice. Your time would be better spent doing one island well. The $82 trip to Terceira sounds like a good deal. Summer is a great time with a lot of Festas and

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel De Sousa De Mattos and Maria Silveira Wedding

If I am making it through this correctly, the groom's parents are from Ribeira Seca (lines 11-12). The bride's parents are from Topo and the bride was baptized there (lines 14-15). All are parishioners in Rebeira Seca (line 15) where the groom was baptized (line 16). Bill Seidler > --

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Visit

Ok, I will elaborate, as Mary said, I was diplomatic and you will see that I was!! I know this is not genealogy but it is entertaining I think:) One funny story was the last time I went with my dad, when he was close to 80 and hard of hearing (so I had to be the “I speak broken Portuguese”

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Visit

I fly SATA all the time. They have improved greatly and except for the uniforms of the cabin crew and the exterior design of the plane, you'd be hard pressed to  differentiate SATA from TAP. Unfortunately, neither airline serves the great meals that TAP used to serve, and the bar service is

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Visit

I haven't flown SATA recently. Maybe I did about 10 years ago. They were fine at the American airport and in the air. But when I landed over thereI think they were all on lunch break. It took a very long time to get the baggage. Other than that, I didn't have problems, but like I said, that

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Baptism record - Francisco (Jose da Terra) of Cabo da Praia Terceira 1864

Hi Evee, If I read it correctly, the margin note is making a correction to the info on the baptism that the mother's name was Isabel Victorina, not Isabel de Ascencao. A native speaker should confirm that, though. Foi reconhecido e perfilhado por seu pai Francisco Jose Terra por escriptura

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel De Sousa De Mattos and Maria Silveira Wedding

Louie, it says that both of the marrying couple are from Ribeira Seca so, look for their baptisms in Ribeira Seca to the parents mentioned. You have the parental names correct except you need to start writing them with the small 'de' not capital 'de'. It should be written, Manuel de Souza de

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Visit

Don, My grandfather, Manuel Correia Silva, was also from Covas, Graciosa. He was born in 1865. He married Anna Mendonca, born 1863, also from Covas. I know so very little of his life pre immigration. Please contact me if you have anything to share. On Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 8:17:46
