[AZORES-Genealogy] AZORES BOOK THROUGH DENNIS BORGES
I have talked with Dennis Borges. He has been out of town all weekend and got in late last night. He has about six copies of the book. He said that U C Berkeley should be making the book available and he can talk with them about online ordering for those interested. I will talk with him more about making the copies he has available first come first served. NO PROMISE ON THESE AS YET. I am guessing that it would be $20 plus shipping and insurance, maybe add another five dollars to the $20. This is a GUESS as I have never done this before but want to help. I will talk with Dennis more as we were both in a hurry. I will try to get one copy and post online the table of contents and the index if people say via the list they want to see that. I had asked people to respond to my private email and maybe there is confusion about doing that, so Cheri I hope that it is okay about peole just sending to the list if they are not sure how to email me privately. If you want one copy or more, let me know how many copies you want. Or if you want to wait to see the info from the book, that is fine. If I get the copies Dennis has, it will be first come, first served to who has already emailed me, with one book only to the first responders I have already received. It does not seem to be a problem to get one, so do not be concerned it you were not among the first five. I have no idea when UC Berkeley will have copies as Dennis was not sure. Again, I know nothing about this book and am doing this as a help to the list. I do not live in Tulare and it is a hike from where I live.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Luiz (Lewis) Family from Faial and research trip
Hello! I am new to this group and am looking for some information in preparation to a long anticipated trip to the Azores! My maternal grandfather was Jose Duarte Luiz (Joseph D. Lewis) who was born in Flamengos, Faial on May 5, 1889. His father's name was Antone Duarte Luiz. They came to the US through Ellis Island on April 13, 1903. The rest of the family (mother and 5 sibilings) arrived a few years later. They lived in the Centerville area of Fremont. I will be visiting the island of Faial at the end of April and would like to see if I could find out any more about the family, especially about his mother. I have almost no information about her, other than her name was Maria. I do not know her maiden name. I was hoping to see if I could find any church records of my grandfather's birth or his parent's marriage. I have found out that the Family History Center has microfilmed the records for a church in Flamengos. I called the local center and they were very helpful in trying to assist me in finding some of the information through their portal, but I wasn't too successful in finding out anything new. I am going to call them again to order the records, but I am not sure how quickly they will come. I would also like to find out information about my maternal grandmother's family, the Perreira's (Perry). Mary Perry Lewis was born in California on August 20, 1896, but family lore implies that her parents and my grandfather's parents were friends in the Azores and when the Luiz family came to the US, they were "sponsored" by Jao and Mariana (Marian) Perriera. Marian's maiden name is recorded as Lewis on my grandmother's death certificate and both her and Jao's birthplace is listed as the Azores. If anyone has any information on these surnames or suggestions about researching in Faial, I would greatly appreciate it!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Luiz (Lewis) Family from Faial and research trip
Hi Deanna, You'd have to check at your FHC, but a month for films to come in may be cutting it close. The record you are after has been filmed. To do research for Flamengos, you'd go to the Archive in Horta, on Faial. They hold the records for Faial, Pico, Corvo, and Flores. You'll need to request the book of baptisms for 1889, Flamengos. I haven't been to the archives in Horta, but if it's like the other 2 archives, you will fill out a slip of paper (your name, book requested, and year), and the librarian will get it. (Kind of reminds me when you want a magazine from a year or two ago in the American library systemyou fill out the paper and the pages will go in the back and retrieve it). You'll have to scan the May 1889 ones looking for all Jose's being baptised. The first sentence (around that 1889 time period) usually starts off by stating the BAPTISM date, not the birth date. A sample of the records can be found here (scroll down): http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/HowTo.html In the 1889 time period (kind of around 1850s onwards), you will find that the baptisms say, Jose, son of Antonio Duart Luiz and Maria de Jesus (or Maria religious middle name). Women didn't use surnames during that time period. Many people get frustrated with this, especially if you are researching records on this end, looking for the village (lucky you, you have it!!) American death records (someone tell me if the Candian ones are the same) ask for the name and birth place of the father. The informant states this many times. But the next question asks for MAIDEN name of the mother (and birth place). Since Portuguese women didn't use surnames, the answer is "don't know" which gets recorded on the death record. The informant knew (in many instances) the first and middle names of the mother, but that's not what is being asked of them. The 1889 record you will be seeking will give you the name of Jose's parents (with the mother having only an first and middle name), where they married, and the names of both sets of grandparents. I copy down the godparents and witnesses too, just in case they turn out to be relatives. Flamengos film for baptisms covers 1661-1892 (with gaps), marriages from 1705-1878, and deaths from 1649-1884. Once you find Jose's baptism, go back in time looking for older siblings. Once you don't find any siblings for a couple of years, request the book for marriages (as Jose's baptism will tell you where they married) and start at the oldest kid's birth date and start looking backwards for the marriage of Antonio Duarte Luiz and Maria. Yes, I know it takes 9 months to make a baby. I also know our ancestors weren't perfect either. I've seen a baby being born and the wedding take place only a couple of months before the birth of the baby. I've even seen it take place after the birth too (but the baptism will tell you that the baby is illegitimate, so you'll know to look in a different time period for the marriage). For ideas on reseaching your Pereira's, use the link above to find the freguesia/village they were from.

Also, do you have any idea on how long the trip took and average cost per person? I am assuming many immigrants were farmers or laborers without a lot of money, so do you think most families saved up the cost of the passage in order to give their children the chance to immigrate?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Last Post Azores: Nine Islands...
List, The order form is online and the books are available. Dennis Borges did not have the six or so books after all. While I was with him, a teacher who had gone on a tour of the Islands with him and some other teachers, picked up two of the books, one for herself and one for a sister. So the others became promised between the time I left home and when I got there. That should not be a problem for anyone on the list, as I talked with Deolinda at UC Berkeley and she is very happy to provide books per the order from that she sent me. I posted a small sample of pages and the Contents as it is difficult to decide to buy without knowing what one is buying. If someone has questions, please email me privately. I hope my service to you has been helpful. I think of all the help many of you have been to me so many times, and this is a small thing I could do in return. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hi Maria, I would be most grateful if you could talk to your daughter in law for me. Also I noticed in one of your previous postings that you had ancestors who went to the N.S.W. goldfields in Australia. My G.Grandfather Jose Andrade Macedo also went to the N.S.W. goldfields after visiting relatives in Brazil. I don't know exactly when, but I could probably find out. He then went to New Zealand and after that to Argentina. He left a son in N.Z. (my grandfather) but took his granddaughter to Argentina along with his daughters. It is this family in Argentina that I am going to visit, before going on to Rio. At least some of the realitives in Brazil were from the Azores ( at least one from Pico that I know of ) and some from Sao Miguel and a descendant was Francisco Pereira Macedo 1806-1888, 1st Viscount of Serro Formosa. His daughter was Maria Jose De Macedo Couto 1822 -1889 (from Sao Miguel I think). Maria married Joao Evangelista de Negreiros Sayao Lobato, Viscount Sabara. Their son was Francisco de Paulo Negrois Sayao Lobato, Cheif Justice of Brazil. There is very little else I know, Does any of this tie in with your daughter in law?. Another ancestor is Nicolau Pereira do Campos Verugiro, died 1859, who was born in Macedo de Cavaleiros in Portugal and became a Brazilian senator.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hello, I don't know your name but would love to hear about your Macedos from Pico. Mine were from Candelaria and before that Sao Mateus and Lajes. My family history tells me that they came from the mainland in about 1750 but I'm sure that they already had relatives in the Azores as some of the history goes back much much further there.
