[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hello Nancy Jean, Yes, I am so pleased to find another cousin, Ines Pereira Macedo is my g.g.g.g.g.grandmother and the others are her children and grandchildren as I guess you know. Catharina Nascimento (Pereira Macedo) is also the daughter of Ines Pereira Macedo and is my direct line but the name has been entered diferently in various databases and is hard to track. The name of Ines's parents appears in a couple of the databases as Francisco Lopes da Fonseca and Apolonia Candias, both died In 1717. they do not appear in the Candelaria database but were in the Castelo Branco database, This is where the Macedo line vanishes and my aunt told me the family came from Portugal but I'm sure there were relatives in the Azores. I would love to hear anything you can tell me. best regards.

Most of the immigrants that are Portuguese in USA, are from the Azores. Anytime you ask one where you from? They will tell you Portugal. Even today my family members and friends going to visit,they allways say they are going to Portugal. Many of them never even been to mainland Portugal, one thousand miles away.

Judi, The book came from Santa Maria after a kind listmember, a while back, told me about it and I was able to have a friend help me obtain a copy. I will be in the Azores (not Santa Maria) and will see if/how one can get a copy today. I don't exactly remember, but I think the cost was $15/20. I do not have the book - I sent it to my sister's daughter in law and she gave it to her parents. If I can figure out the process, I will try to email the list while on the islands. I am not taking my laptop this time. I have a couple of other genealogy books I am interested in buying while I am in Lisbon.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Azores/Mainland to Brazil
Hi Chris, I enjoy this group and the avenue it provides for finding kin as we say in the south! In our case I guess we're 1/2 cousins! Ines Pereira Macedo was the 2nd wife of Francisco Costa Goulart. Your grandmother, Catarina Nascimento was their 1st child of 8. Born 12-16-1710 her sister, Rita Inacia Macedo, married Jose Rodrigues Medeiros, b. 8-13-1718, son of Joao Rodrigues Serpa, b. 2-21-1683 and Ana Medeiros, b.9-18-1689...They had 8 childrenJose was the brother of Josefa Maria Conceicao,b. 4-20-1721, she's my gggarndmother! (on my grandmothers side)So there's that connection by marriage..but also, on my grandmothers side I'm related by the 1st wife of Francisco Costa Goulart, her name was Catarina Dias Machado, and she had 2 children with Francisco, the second was, Beatriz Santo Antonio,b. 2-12-1706, she was also ggrandmother on my grandmothers side but to my grandmothers husband..(my grandfathers line was da Castro) It's all very confusing in that line because there were so many cousin marriages.. My ggrandmother, Ludovina Felizarda da Castro was 1st cousin to her husband, Manuel Furtado Cardoza... I guess it's a good thing they left Candelaria for a little outside DNA when they did!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Portuguese Immigrants by Carlos Almeida
While browsing in the used book store in Hayward, CA, I found 2 copies of a book that may be of interest to someone on the list. Portuguese Immigrants (The centennial story of the Portuguese Union of the state of California) by Carlos Almeida, written in 1978. My copy of the book (which I inherited from my aunt) has a flyer with the following : Portuguese Immigrants, a centennial story of Portuguese Union of the state of California, is the result of ten years of research done by Carlos Almeida. In this book, Almeida narrates candidly the lives of many immigrants and the important role they played and still play in California’s economy from dairying to banking. The book is a testimony to all who came to the golden state to make it their home. It includes a brief outline of the Azores, its people and the difficulties encountered by Portuguese immigrants from whaling days to modern day times in their attempt to make life a bit better for themselves and their families when settling in Hawaii, Canada and California. The book has an appendix listing family names of Portuguese pioneers who settled in California as well as the most complete study ever made on the Portuguese anglicized names. An index and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources used in the making of this unique work about Portuguese in California is also provided. The book contains over one hundred illustrations. On the back of the flyer are the following comments: It really is a most fascinating account of the Portuguese and Azoreans in California, and I enjoyed every minute of the four days it took me to read it all. Your efforts to collect and list Anglicized surnames of Portuguese families in California is a first step in scholarship in that area as far as I know. Ronald Silveira de Braganza, Special Collections bibliographer, University of California, San Diego. I recommend the book to casual readers of history as well as to those interested in the history of California and its various ethnic groups. Almeida'’ book will be treasured for years as a source book and reference by students and writers. John Sandoval, Historian-Columnist – The Daily Review, Hayward. I read immediately your book with great interest and could not wait to tell you that my impression is an excellent one. I learned a lot and admired the valuable compilation of data and illustrations of enormous historical interest. The work is not only the history of the U.P.E.C.. It is above all a revelling analysis of facts and attitudes through almost a century of the Portuguese presence in California…It is the first time a true, serious, academic, and well documented work is done about our history here. My sincere congratulations. Edward Mayone Dias, Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Los Angeles, CA 90024 I have examined the contents closely and I am impressed with the scholarly research necessary for such an extensive well written history of the Portuguese in California. The book is eminently readable and certainly filled out a story for me that was fragmentary in the past. Stephen D. Ewing, Library Directory, City of San Leandro, CA. I paid $25.00 each for the books and will sell them for that price plus postage to you. If interested, contact me off list at ccgranmap at yahoo dot com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese Immigrants by Carlos Almeida
For anyone thinking about buying this book, it's well worth it especially if you had ancestors who were members of the UPEC. It's worth it just for the names in the back showing the Portuguese and the English form that most people took. I have two copies myself; one a hard back I found at a book store and one I purchased from Mr. Almeida which he signed. It even lists the Councils and their date of organization.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Last Post Azores: Nine Islands...
Thanks, Cheri That's what I want - a history of the islands. I don't know if I'll ever get around to family research. About 10 years ago my daughter and I went to the islands and visited the churches in the towns our grandparents were from. I had names and some alleged birth dates, but the records had been relocated to Ponta Delgada. We continued our exploration of my grandparent's islands rather than return to the city for research in a language I don't read. In Velas, S.G. we found a wonderful tour guide named Antonio Luis Ribeiro. We spent many happy days with him touring S.G. and we identified one family home. He really loved Sao Jorge. I have been watching the list for my family names, but they haven't popped up yet. They are: Jules Silva Branco, born May 8, 1875, presumably from Biscoitos or Calheta, Sao Jorge Rita Pedroza, his wife My father was the only child born in the USA. His older siblings born in Sao Jorge were Antonio, Bella (7-2-1913), Jules, Rita and Emma. In the USA the family translated the name to White. My mother's family is from San Miguel Antonio Pimental from Bretanha Mary Julia Felina from Maia Pimental appears to be a very common name, but the other surnames I've listed haven't appeared on this list. I really look forward to reading this book to get the same type of historical and cultural context about our roots that Americans of other nationalities can easily access.

I'm sure that there are others who have read both and will have a different opinion too. Since James Guill is deceased and his book is out of print though, this new book might help fill the need for a history in English. Help put things in perspective.

John, I apologize for the confusion. I meant I could not find a record of his arrival. You blew my mind when I read your email. I didn't think anyone else had any information on this family.

They returned to San Francisco in 1909. They settled in San Luis Obispo. Later they resettled in San Jose from where Jose walked to Felton to work in the Lime Mines. I have heard two versions of the circumstances of Jose death. 1.He died aboard ship in transit from a visit to Santa Maria. 2. Jose first came to the U.S. to avoid the draft in the Azores. Upon returning to the Azores for a visit, he was conscripted and stationed on the mainland where he died. I do not know at this time which version, if either, is correct.

It's worth it just for the names in the back showing the Portuguese and the English form that most people took. I have two copies myself; one a hard back I found at a book store and one I purchased from Mr. Almeida which he signed. It even lists the Councils and their date of organization. Rosemarie - Original Message - From: celeste perry To: Azores list Sent: Wednesday, April 01, 2009 3:21 PM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Portuguese Immigrants by Carlos Almeida While browsing in the used book store in Hayward, CA, I found 2 copies of a book that may be of interest to someone on the list. Portuguese Immigrants (The centennial story of the Portuguese Union of the state of California) by Carlos Almeida, written in 1978. My copy of the book (which I inherited from my aunt) has a flyer with the following : Portuguese Immigrants, a centennial story of Portuguese Union of the state of California, is the result of ten years of research done by Carlos Almeida. In this book, Almeida narrates candidly the lives of many immigrants and the important role they played and still play in California’s economy from dairying to banking. The book is a testimony to all who came to the golden state to make it their home. It includes a brief outline of the Azores, its people and the difficulties encountered by Portuguese immigrants from whaling days to modern day times in their attempt to make life a bit better for themselves and their families when settling in Hawaii, Canada and California. The book has an appendix listing family names of Portuguese pioneers who settled in California as well as the most complete study ever made on the Portuguese anglicized names. An index and a bibliography of primary and secondary sources used in the making of this unique work about Portuguese in California is also provided. The book contains over one hundred illustrations. On the back of the flyer are the following comments: It really is a most fascinating account of the Portuguese and Azoreans in California, and I enjoyed every minute of the four days it took me to read it all. Your efforts to collect and list Anglicized surnames of Portuguese families in California is a first step in scholarship in that area as far as I know. Ronald Silveira de Braganza, Special Collections bibliographer, University of California, San Diego. I recommend the book to casual readers of history as well as to those interested in the history of California and its various ethnic groups. Almeida'’ book will be treasured for years as a source book and reference by students and writers. John Sandoval, Historian-Columnist – The Daily Review, Hayward. I read immediately your book with great interest and could not wait to tell you that my impression is an excellent one. I learned a lot and admired the valuable compilation of data and illustrations of enormous historical interest. The work is not only the history of the U.P.E.C.. It is above all a revelling analysis of facts and attitudes through almost a century of the Portuguese presence in California…It is the first time a true, serious, academic, and well documented work is done about our history here. My sincere congratulations. Edward Mayone Dias, Ph.D., University of California, Los Angeles, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, Los Angeles, CA 90024 I have examined the contents closely and I am impressed with the scholarly research necessary for such an extensive well written history of the Portuguese in California. The book is eminently readable and certainly filled out a story for me that was fragmentary in the past. Stephen D. Ewing, Library Directory, City of San Leandro, CA.

Cheryl Once you are on the site (using the web address below) you will see a list to the right of the page. Click on Reistos Paroquisiais. When that loads there is a list of Island and towns below them. Click on Velas, then the last village listed is Rosais Baptisms, click on ver on the right of the town name. When that comes up click on the dates and they take you to the baptisms for that time period. If you are unfamilier with the Portuguese Church documents you should start with the later records and try to read them. Go to Kathy Cardosa's Website (which Cheri has listed resently) and download the Portuguese Genealogical Word List and get yourself a good Portuguese to English dictionary and you are off!!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: FAIAL
I found a Joseph Francis b. abt. 1832 who came to the US June 25, 1852 on the schooner Waldron Holmes sailing from Fayal to Boston. It says he is a mariner. There is also a Manuel Francis on this ship. There is a Joseph Francis b. abt. 1832 also on the schooner Abby Forest who came to the US August 1854, seaman, sailing from the Azores to Boston. Actually there are 2 Joseph Francis on this ship but he is 6 years older. There is a Joseph Francis b. abt 1832 on the Bark Halifax, September 1859, sailing from Halifax to Boston, mariner, b. in Portugal Looks like it might be the same person going back and forth a couple of times. Could be him. My grandfather also came through Halifax once when he sold one of his ship's overseas and was returning home so don't let that throw you. In the 1860 census, there is a Joseph Francis b. abt. 1831, Fayal , mariner, living on Nantucket Island. (There is something written after his name but I do not know what it means). There is also a John and Angelica Francis from Fayal living 3 doors down. There's a Joseph Francis b. abt. 1833 living in Calaveras County CA. There's another Joseph Francis b. abt. 1832, mariner, living in Boston, but he is married with a child. In 1870 census, your Joseph Francis with wife Amelia are living in Yreka, CA both b. Western Island with children Mary 4, b. CA, Joseph 1, b. CA so Amelia must have come to the US before 1871. Living with them is a Joseph Silva 30 also a miner b. Western Islands. Hope this helps.
