[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Providence, RI cemeteries...
Hi Sam, Yes, to the connection to Al Rose that Pat and I have. It does come through The Rosa side of his family. Manuel Rosa born Feb 15, 1873 is our cousin. I do have Fraga grandparents though. Gaspar Fraga married Isabel Melo both are from Terceira, their daughter Maria Antonia Fraga was born in Santa Barbara, Cedros, Faial and this is my line as well as Pat's. Maria Antonia Fraga is both Pat and my 8th great grandmother. She married Antonio Duarte Jul 25, 1633 in Santa Barbara, Cedros, Faial, Azores. Antonio Duarte is also Al Rose, Butch's 9th great grand father and our (Pat and I) 8th great grandfather.

(Al Rose) Butch's grandmother, Mary Amelia Fraga (Frazer) and my grandfather, Antonio Fraga, were siblings. I suspect you are related to Butch thru his Rose line. I say this because, to my knowledge, neither Butch nor I have found decendents of the other siblings of our grandparents nor do we even know the names of the siblings of our ggrandparents. So, if I am correct and you are related to Butch via his Rose line (his grandmother's husband's line, I would not then be related to either of you.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Providence, RI cemeteries...
Hi Margie; Yes, we have corresponded before, unfortunately for both of us, we have not found a connection. According to my aunt, my grandfather had a relative in Oakland, CA but; I have yet to locate that line and have no idea where it would connect. I would dearly like to know where my Fraga line originated but; have no clue where to look. Trying to go thru all the parishes on the 3 islands where there are a lot of them doesn't seem like the road to take, at least not yet. Anyway, good luck on your search and I'm always glad to hear from you. Regards, Sam in CA --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: SATA Baggage Allowances
Hi E, It seems to me that the inter island weight is 20 or 25 kilograms. Several times we've been over limit trying to take cast iron frying pans, etc. to Pico...(one year I made pottery plates!). They sometimes charge for the extra weight and sometimes notlike last yearshe told us they were'nt that much over and let us go without paying extra. When we took our bikes over 3 years ago the charge to get them from Arkansas to Providence was $80.00 eachSATA didn't charge us anything extrajust took them as checked baggage although they would have made us pay a tax on them except we showed them they were not new so they let them in with no tax. I like flying SATA very much especially out of Providencethe inter island flights are iffyone year they had so much cargo on the plane from Sao Miguel to Pico that they didn't put all of the passenger luggage on the plane! It was delivered to the adega the next day(that was the time that at the last minute they told me my carry on was too big so I quickly checked it without thinking about the fact that I had about 1200.00 euros cash in it! Every penny was there when it came the next day along with all my jewelry and other stuff that I carry on in US flights! One interesting thing about the inter island flights is the no reserved seating.people practically rush the gate to get the seats they want although they do allow children and elderly priority. Best regards, Nancy Date: Sat, 7 Feb 2009 19:11:27 -0800 Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] SATA Baggage Allowances From: bellema...@gmail.com To: Azores@googlegroups.com Anyone have any problems with their weight allowances on SATA? I checked the SATA site and it looks like 6 kg in hand baggage (13.22 lbs) and 20 kilos checked (44.09 lbs.) I have no problems with these as Ryanair only allows 33.06 lbs checked and I really don't like to carry but one suitcase (carryon size which I will check) and one small backpack (carryon), but SATA has the lowest hand baggage allowance. We usually have the hotels do our laundry when needed so we don't pack so much. I have been on all the other airlines we are using, British Airways, BMI, Ryanair but first time with SATA. Thanks.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: The book, AZores, Nine Islands, One History
Hi Celeste, All I have to say is DITTO! On Feb 9, 6:37 pm, celeste perry ccgran...@yahoo.com wrote: While cleaning out my email file folders, I thought that maybe the book I have been trying to read might have some answers to an email from Mel dated 2004. In her email, Mel asked about the quality of life her ancestors would have had. The book, by Susana Goulart Costa, Azores Nine Islands, One History, does not answer this question or questions about ancestors in general. What the book does do is give the reader a look at how the Islands were settled; governed; the wars that were fought and the politics. There is great detail about all of this and it has taken me quite awhile to dig through the first 90 pages! So many things influenced the lives of those living in the Azores. I think that the reader can begin to understand what motivated the common folk that were living in the Azores to do the things they did. I was of the opinion that many left the Islands because there was too many people and not enough food. I know there were various other reasons. Thus far, the book has given me a lot of food for thought about how the politics at different times played a part as to how people lived and why some left. I don’t get the feeling that if you worked hard enough you could change your life. Maybe it is just seeing what has happened here in the US that makes me think a young person might entertain the notion that living somewhere else might be the way to go. Older people that have lost their retirement might also be thinking the same thing.

Older people that have lost their retirement might also be thinking the same thing. My daughter moved to Australia (from California). She has been able to purchase a home, has always had work. She did not see how she could purchase a home in California and figured if she was going to move far enough away that she'd need to get on a plane to come home she might as well go to Australia. At least they speak English. She is very happy there. (She is in Queensland, not Victoria where the devastating fires are.) I can see why our ancestors moved if the opportunity arose.
