  Henny,

  thanks for your response.  I have birth, death, and marriage dates for all of 
my father's siblings, (including two that died young)as well as for all their 
children.  My grandfather always identified himself as Louis Pacheco Rose, 
(within the family) but in all the census listings, he was always know as Louis 
Rose.  There is a Luiz Pacheco who came to the states in 1902, on the Dona 
Maria, and was going to his brother in Fall River.  As the age and year of 
birth coincide with the information I have about my grandfather, and that his 
brother was Frank, I believe it is a record of his passage.  He and my 
grandmother were married in NL on April 24,1905. My grandmother, on the other 
hand, is somewhat of a mystery.  I cannot find her listed on any of the 
passenger manifests, and I have looked through many of them.  I would be 
interested in any advice you might have as to other avenues to explore.  I have 
been to the FHC in Groton and ordered one microfilm, trying to nail down Maria 
Victoria.  I believe her sisters were Constance,Sophia, Evangeline and Diamata. 
 I remember visiting them in E. Providence, but I was too young to remember 
their last names.  Also, Manuel, Joseph and Antone Victoria were her brothers, 
Manuel (and Margaret) lived on Water Street, and Joseph on Elm St.  Connie 
Pacheco from Summit St was somehow related, and the family story is that my 
grandmother came to the states to help with the "Pine" twins.  Connie20is 
listed in the 1920 census under Manuel Rose. ( I believe her mother's name was 
Mary)  I think her twin brother's name was Eugene and he went by the name 
Eugene Rose Pine.

  I live in Uncasville, just north of the USCGA, would love to meet up with you 
sometime and share info, and maybe you could help me with the finer points of 
translation!

  thanks,
  Elly

  Hi Ellie, When your grandfather died he was listed as Louis Pacheco Rose. He 
never was known as Pacheco in Stonington. My family and Dottie Pacheco were the 
only ones using Pacheco . Your grandfather died Nov. 26, 1946. Your uncle 
Antone was married Sept. 13, l941 and was born in New London and Frank was born 
in Groton Ct. they both were married in Stonington. Your grandmother Mary 
Victoriahad two or three sisters in Bristol and Providence R.I. I have printed 
a book on the marriages and deathsof the Portuguese people in Stonington. Where 
are you living now? The Morman Church in Groton has the films from Ribeira 
Grande and many others.   Hope some of this helps  Henny

Hi Elly,
FHC stands for Family History Center. They are run by the Latter Day Saints 
(Mormons). Their resources are open to all and are located in locations at 
their churches around the country.  They have microfilmed records from many 
locations around the world including the Acores. For more information you can 
go to their website.  http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/default.asp 
Films can be ordered and=2 0usually it takes 3-6 weeks for them to arrive

Some FHC’s such as the one in Dartmouth, MA have all the films from the 
Acores at the FHC on a permenate basis for anyone to view. At the Center I go 
to in Exeter, < FONT face="Book Antiqua" color=blue>NH I have about 15 films on 
permenate loan mostly from Ribeira Grande, Ribeirinha, Achada Grande Bretanha

I am new to this group so please be patient. I have been trying to
research my Portuguese roots with little to no lucky. My Grandfather
was a ship builder in Plymouth named Frank Jesse (Jacintho?). He
married Francis Nunes de Silva. I have the Ellis island report of my
Grandfather coming to the US (twice) but am having no luck with my
Grandmother. My GGrandfather was also Frank (Francisco?) Jesse
(Jacintho?). His wife was Jacintha Jacintho (maiden name same as
married name). Both Franks came from San Miguel, and Francis came from
Pico. My mother always said her mother had a sister in California. Can
anyone help me with my research?

I want to thank everyone for their replies on my SATA questions.  I,
too, have heard it is less expensive to purchase tickets within the
islands  while you are there but I didn't want to take any chances of
not getting a seat as my schedule is tight.  Maybe I will be a little
more carefree next time.  When picking my seats from Lisbon to Ponta
Delgada, the plane looked about 1/2 full.

I am looking forward to the trip  -  to walk where my grandmother
(whose baptism record still escapes me)  walked, bless her soul, where
our family circus performed, to go to the orphanage my g-aunt was in
in sao miguel, eat some great food, and just have some great fun!

We were not able to make any seat reservations between islands.  Sometimes 
they make it appear or sound like you may, but you can't (of course unless 
they change their guidelines).

One little funny situation - we're at the Terceira airport getting ready to 
depart.  We arrived early to get seat upgrades to first class (before the 
ticket counter even opened).  They had only two first seats to upgrade and 
we were a party of five, so we didn't do it.  Thanks GOODNESS we didn't 
since the cost was about $500 per person.  We even asked for seat changes 
and were told there werent' any.  We board the plane and it was basically 
EMPTY.  Go figure!  All the teenagers and early-twenty somthings who stayed 
out too late with friends during the San Joaninas celebration each had their 
own entire row to sleep on.  I bet only a quarter of the plane was full 
returning home.  They say this isn't normal as the season goes on, but we 
were the first flight from Oakland heading over, so I guess the first flight 
back and many people were staying longer than the two weeks we were there.

Enjoy your trip!  :)

2009-03-04 Thread Liz Ciampa

Hi "E",

 

My parents and others are always told by travel agents here in Canada that they 
should just purchase their SATA inter-island tickets when they are actually in 
one of the islands.  The only reason for this is just becasue their schedules 
change and also because the cost of the tickets are much cheaper when you buy 
them there (Azores).

 

Maybe someone on this board who actually lives there (Azores) can give you 
better advice but this is what is done by my parents and others.

 

Good luck!

Elaine, my experience with SATA interisland flights is that they do not have 
assigned seats.  I believe that was the same with my Lisbon to Terceira 
flilghts.  
 
As for delays and cancellations, that can happen without notice if the weather 
is bad.  I spent half a day in the airport in Terceira trying to get a flight 
to Faial.  They just keep delaying the fllight, never cancelled it.  I finally 
took the boat, that took 8 hrs. because the weather was bad.  Celeste, Hayward,

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Veterino? Bettencourt? Vieira? Oliveira?

2009-03-04 Thread Cakemom102
Nancy Jean, 
I feel for you, but one thing that I have learned is that our ancestors  
changed names like we change underwear.  Also, it is not uncommon for  children 
from the same parents to go by different last names.  My  grandfather went by 
Mendes and his brother by Azevedo and they have the same  parents.  Go figure.  
My ggrandmother on my mother's side, gives  different combinations of names on 
the baptismal records of some of her seven  children so does her husband.  
The first names seem stable, it's the middle  and last names that change into 
different combinations.  Maybe they want to  honor a certain part of their 
family on that particular day.  Who  knows.

Greetings Group,

I'm very confused.all these names! I  sent to Saint John the Baptist 
Church in New Bedford for the marriage records  of two sets of my 
GGrandparents..1888, AntonioTexiera Baptista (Sao  Jorge)and Maria 
Catherina Cabral (Santa 
Maria).only surprise in those  records were the witnesses, apparently she 
had a brother in this country so  that is a good clue to pursue.

My problem is my GGrandfather, my  Moms mothers father, Joseph Veterino, 
(b.1863 Sao Jorge), he always  said that he was Joseph Veterino Bettencourt, 
and 
my Mom has old pictures of  he and a brother who used the last name 
Bettencourt. He married Frances Rose  Enos (b. 1868 or 69 Sao Jorge)..who 
had a 
brother, Frank Lemos, so I was  able to find her in the ships arriving and her 
real 
name was Rosa Francisca  Lemos.

Next I found their civil marriage record in NEGHSJan  7, 1893he's 29, 
he gives his name as Jose Enos Victorino and his  fathers name as Thomazo de 
Vieira and his mother is Anna Joaquinajust says  from Sao Jorge for both 
he and Frances Rose.she gives her name as  Francisca Roza Lemosparents 
Manuel Silveira Lemos and mother Anna  Bernarda.

So I asked St. Johns for the record of the marriage, I  mentioned that I 
wanted to know parents names. They sent me the "Certificate  of Marriage" and a 
letter with him listed as Jose Enos Victorino...Sao  Jorgeson of Thomas d' 
Oliveira and Anna Joaquina. I have no idea now  who he really was! Her info 
was the same as NEGHS had.

I'm at a  lossI have been looking at the Sao Jorge baptisms in the CCA 
site for  1863not quite finished..

Suggestions?

I know  that Frances Rose had a sister Anna Lemos who married a man named 
Frank  Azevedo


Joseph Veterino and Frances Rose, they lived on  Rockdale Ave. in New Bedford 
and had:
8  children

George Veterinodied unmarried
Clara .my  Grandmothermarried Emanuel Joseph Perry
Frank  who  married..Clara Morris (Morais?)
John married Anna Fernandes
Joseph  married Stella ?
Rose married Antone Gracia
Frances married Fred  Salles
Anna married George Smith

Can anyone connect with my  mystery family?

[AZORES-Genealogy] SATA questions

2009-03-04 Thread "E" Sharp

I made my SATA airline reservations online today (Dollar is a little
better against the Euro and I figured I had not wait much longer) and
while I was able to select my seats from Lisbon to Sao Miguel and
back, I was not able to select seats from Sao Miguel to Terceira and
back.  It said something about not available at this time and they
would look at what my other seats choices were, etc.  Anyone else run
into this.  I hope I will be able to confirm my seats before I leave
the US?

Also, has anyone run into having their flights changed?  How often
does this happen?  I ask this because I am coming on BA from London to
Lisbon, changing to SATA in Lisbon for Terceira via Sao Miguel.  I
know they have a straight flight to Terceira but because of BA arrival
time, I had to take the later flight that goes through SM.

Thanks.
"E"

[AZORES-Genealogy] PEREIRA, AZEVEDO, ENOS, SILVA, SAO JORGE

2009-03-04 Thread azores

Searching for info on family of  Jorge Pereira Azeved &, wife Marianna
Joaquina Silveira from Sao Jorge.

I think Jorge died in the islands.  Marianna, born in 1810 came to
California, Marin county,  to live with her son Antone.

Jorge and  Marianna had sons Antone born in 1850, Joaquin, Jose born
in 1833, Manuel and Francisco and a daughter Mary. There may have been
one more son.  Some California towns I've heard mentioned are
Peteluma, Half Moon Bay, Sausalito.   In the 1870 census, Marin
county, there was a John Cabral age 18 living with Jose and his wife
Maria and 6 month old son Antone.

Any info would be  greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Cheri, for the additional information.  The church will be the No. 1
place I visit on my trip back East.  I think I have some family members who
still belong to this church so I will lean on them, if I have to.

I need one or two other records from them, also.

2009-03-04 Thread Cheri Mello
P.S. Out of the 25 documents I collected on my immigrant ancestors, it was
the actual marriage book itself that listed the freguesia.  That was the
only document.  The other documents listed the island or the council, but I
didn't know that (Vila Franca...the council or the city??)  It took me 4
years to find the marriage too.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Mello/Amaral

2009-03-04 Thread Cheri Mello
Elaine,

When I went there to see the book, the priest at the time would not let me
actually read the book.  He said it was private.  However, the marriage I
wanted was more than 95 years old, so I think MA law says it was in public
domain, but I didn't push it.  I just started to pester him with questions.
Did the book list the bride's maiden name? (No, he just typed that on the
certificate because I stated the name of the bride and groom).  Does it list
their ages?  Does it list the relationship of the witnesses to the bride and
groom?  He had to keep looking at the book because I was asking questions.
Then the phone rang.  He answers the phone and I start to read the book,
upside down.  It was in Latin so I had to stare at it real hard.  He sees me
and closes the book.  He hangs up the phone and I'm going to ask another
question when he says he'll read it (as only his eyes can see it) but it's
in Latin so he'll translate.  Manuel de Mello, a native of Ribeira das
TainhasI almost when through the roof.  I pulled out my Guill book (that
got his attention) to look at the map.  Then I wrote everything he read to
me on a piece of paper.

Later, another priest was assigned there who told me that yes, there was a
note about a dispensation in the margin.  That priest said I could have
looked at the book, it was just the previous priest's way not to allow
anyone except Church officials to see it.

Neither of those priests are there anymore.  Hopefully, they will be more
like the 2nd priest and you'll get the info you need.
Cheri

2009-03-04 Thread nancy jean baptiste

Greetings,

I just 2 days ago received the "Certificates of Marriage" from Saint Johns that 
I requested for the marriages of two sets of Ggrandparents, one in 1888 and one 
in 1893. I was not aware of "a book" to ask them to look in for the freguesia 
however I did tell them that I wanted to know the names of their parents. They 
also sent a letter with their names and their parents and island names but 
nothing else. Perhaps I should call back and ask if this info was all there 
was. I will make a new thread about how this information confused me further 
than I already was!

"Ordering the record" will probably result in that half-size sheet of paper 
titled "Holy Matrimony" or "Certificate of Marriage." (or whatever it is 
called).  It's a fill in the blank form that will say bride married groom on 
date by priest and witness were X & Y.  Inside the marriage book at St. John 
the Baptist it will state the freguesia that the bride and groom are from and 
it will be noted in the margin if they needed a dispensation.  It's written in 
Latin (in the book) but you can figure it out.
