[AZORES-Genealogy] PASSPORTS
I've been searching the passports and was wondering if they had to get new passports if they made more than one trip to America from the Azores? Thanks.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Andrade/de Couto - Ribeiro/Pacheco
Maria de Conceicao de Couto was born approximately 1880 and it was her sisters that i mentioned. Ana do Jesus Couto would have been her mother and i don't have a DOB or death for her. They were from Agua d'Alto (near Vila Franca do Campo) in Sao Miguel, Azores. Although the names were similar, i don't think we've made a connection here. Too bad.i was hoping so much for one.

[AZORES-Genealogy] John Correia Obit
(Parents Anton Corrieia was born in Riberihina, Terceira and His wife Francisca (parent a Silveira Machado) was born Ladeira Grande, Terceira) John Correia John Correia was born on August 27, 1927, to Anton and Frances Correia and passed away at the age of 81 on June 6, 2009. John married the lovely Angelina Dolores Banevedes on June 11, 1949 and would have celebrated 60 years of marriage this year. Johnny, as he was known, was easygoing and always had a smile for everyone. He and Dee (Dolores) lived and raised their family in the Kings County area. Johnny worked in agriculture and liked being outdoors. Games of cards with family and friends were one of his favorite ways to visit with loved ones and relax. During his retirement years, Johnny loved to travel to Oregon with Dee, where he fished and enjoyed the scenery while visiting with family. He looked forward to the holidays as he cherished the time spent with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren all gathered together - not to mention that Dee would let him sneak in a few extra sweets! One of his favorite treats in recent years was a Chalupa, and he would often hit Dee up for one while they were on their outings. Those who knew Johnny best will always remember the ever-present twinkle in his eye, his low chuckles of amusement, and his cat-like grin - there even in the face of adversity. He will be dearly missed. In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by one son Arthur; four brothers, Tony, Joaquin, Arnold, and Frank Correia; and three sisters, Mary Box, Frances Toste, and Gertrude Silva. He is survived by his wife, Angelina Dolores; four sons, John Michael Correia (Kristie), Clarence (wife Janet), Eugene (wife Sandy); two daughters, Olinda Dias (husband Manuel) and Gloria Correia, two sisters, Dolores Amarantes and Lina Mendes; 11 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. He is further survived be many nephews, nieces, and a great many friends. Services are being held at the residence of Eugene and Sandy Correia, 2074 Peralta Way.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Why our Portuguese ancestors moved so often & used
Hi Michelle, I don't know if this is the right explanation but I think the change of names is because Portuguese always translate names. If you are an Elizabeth in England, you'll be called Isabel ,in Portugal - they do it all the time with the british royal family: Rainha Isabel (Queen Elizabeth), Principe Felipe (Prince Phillip) , Principe Carlos, Principe Andre and Principe Eduardo. As some names (Arsenio for instance) are probably non existing in the English language, they translate to the nearest in sound...LOL - makes sense... regards Luciana Raposo On Jun 12, 8:06 pm, morinmi wrote: > Hello group, > > I hope someone has the answer to these questions.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Why our Portuguese ancestors moved so often & used
Hello Group, There is another important detail as seen from the inside of the immigrant family with the male being obligated to report to the portuguese army at the age 18 to serve his country for a number of years and after that he would have to report and pay a yearly quota to the portuguese Consulate or Embassy in the receiving Country. Further to this he was also subject to be called for duty at a moment's notice. Many parents with young male children changed their names to avoid being tracked. Up to 1970's men of age 50 and under, leaving Portugal had to have special permission and pay a formal army discharge.
