Tony, The NEPS website shows the marriage date of 17 Sep 1710 in Ribeiras. Maria Abreu died 30 April 1750. Also, NEPS shows children Agueda b 1719, Francisco b 1720 and Antonio b 1724. You may already know this, but I didn¹t see it on your descendants summary. I have seen these two names before.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Machado, Domingos Moniz

Maria, If I might chime in on the name usage. How the name gets changed is a cultural issue. An example, one of my professors in college was named Nguyen Uy. In Vietnam, the surname appears first, and the given name last. When he immigrated, the authorities changed his surname from Nguyen to Uy. I

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] [AZORES-Genealogy Dna Question

To all, The chart that Jackie found seems to confirm what the doctor once told me about Americans, that the Rh Neg factor shows up in about 15 % of the population. I¹m curious as to the figures for Portugal as to whether it is restricted to the mainland or includes all the islands (Azores, Madeira

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] [AZORES-Genealogy Dna Question

Lisa, I can¹t speak to overall statistics. But, my entire family are all Rh Neg. However, my mom was Italian with a drop of English, Scottish, and Irish for good measure. My dad though was 100% Portuguese. Gayle -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups

Vivian and Al, To my knowledge I am not related to Mary (Machado) Bezzera, but one of my co-workers is her niece. Rosemarie Bezzera-Nader is an instructor here at FCC and says that her aunt is a wonderful person. Unfortunately, Rosemarie hasn¹t paid much attention to her family history and only kn

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Pico

Vivian, If you have family from Martha¹s Vineyard, are they listed in the book about the Portuguese from Martha¹s Vineyard ? My dad had a cousin named Mary Silva (I have a picture of her and one of her children as an infant) but I know nothing about this side of the family. I seem to remember him

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Pico

Vivian, No, my dad¹s family was from MA- specifically, Martha¹s Vineyard, Fall River and Taunton. I have met John and Fred Machado over at the Portuguese Hall in Easton. Not that they would remember me- they were serving dinners at the time and quite busy dealing with a hungry crowd. Most of the r

Al, We¹ve spoken before- shortly after I moved to Fresno. But, its been many years. I¹ve met both John and Fred Machado, although they probably don¹t remember it (it was at the Portuguese Hall in Easton and they were busy serving) but I¹m not related. When I get home tonight I¹ll look to see if I

Nancy, Doug Holmes asked about my most recent connection. In answering his question, I put together a list of surnames for the villages through which my paternal grandmother's family extended. I thought you might like to compare with your list. My grandmother was Maria "Mary" Clara Medeiros, b

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Pico

Mary Ann, Thanks for taking time to post a reply. I'm aware of the database for Pico. Actually, I spent several years extracting the marriages and deaths for Candelaria with the thought of possibly publishing the results. I was in the middle of doing the baptisms when the database came online.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Disappointment with microfilms...HELP!

Terri, One of the biggest problems for me when I first started was dealing with the abbreviations in the records. Do you have a list of abbreviations to help take the mystery out of reading the documents ? Also, I spent time reading lots of documents (not just my ancestors) until I knew the handwr
