[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: BRICK WALL Brio
Donna, Thank you for the info...I will have to check it out and see if that is her. Yes...they do still celebrate Holy Ghost Festival there in Hawkinsville...every year it is smaller and smaller as the old timers pass on. My dad use to be a big part of it until he passed in 1986.

There is an obit in the Siskiyou News 6/10/1915 for Amelia Francis. Perhaps you could contact them, or request a copy from SKS on Siskiyou Message Board Siskiyou County Library; 719 4th St. Yreka, California 96097 (530) 841-4175 -- siskiyoulibr...@snowcrest.net. Siskiyou County has many good genealogical resources, and the county office staff is very helpful. The Siskiyou Pioneer and Yearbook, a publication of the Siskiyou County Historical Society has a Hawkinsville Edition, 2004. In it a paragraph describes the 1905 Great Feast of the Holy Ghost. A Flower Girl in the procession is an Olivia Francis. In 1919, Frank Francis is on the committee of the I.D.E.S. sponsored celebration. I understand the Penecost celebration continues today in Hawkinsville. Good luck with your search. Donna O My great great grandfather was Joseph Francis Brio, more likely, Jose Francisco, last name could be spelled Brejo. I have also seen his last name as Braio. He was born on Flores, Azore Islands 1835. Came to America in 1854, was granted citizenship papers in Boston, Mass on April 24, 1854. He married a woman named Amelia, nothing else known about her. I have heard her maiden name could have been Brio, and Joseph's surname could have been Francis. They ended-up in Yreka, Siskiyou County CA. Both are buried at St. Joseph Catholic Cemetery in Yreka, CA. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also...I was reading the census from Yreka, Siskiyou county, CA. And it states someone was born in Ireland...help appreciated!! --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Return permit
I am looking at a ship's manifest for someone who came from Portugal to the US, went back for a visit and was returning to the US again and on the manifest it has a the following: 9868 Wash 10/27/24 Ret. Permit. Since I am assuming Ret. means return what is this return permit? Is the number and date attached to it significant other than it may be when they may have left the US? They ship landed in New York Jan. 13, 1925. It then says Insp. completed 9:43 am 1/14/25. Comments?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Return permit
OK, I found an explanation of this at http://www.jewishgen.org/infofiles/Manifests/name/ and it is called a Reentry permit. I guess this is something our ancestors could do after 1924 to ensure easy access back into the US. So this tells me they had not yet been granted citizenship, otherwise they would have had their NA numbers on the manifest?

I got lucky on this one- it was in a handful of family papers that were passed to me last summer. I've not been able to find a copy of it anywhere else, which makes me glad that somebody hung onto it!

Hi Calvena- Not sure? I do have relatives in the Antioch area. I only became aware of them in the past year, so Siskiyou is certainly a possibility.

Hi all, Can anyone do a footnote lookup - I keep hitting the dreaded brick wall. I am trying another angle on my search for the Lajes do Pico sisters (Maria Francisca). Their parents were Maria Sao Jose and Manuel Machado. I am wondering if it is possible that they used their mothers maiden name as their last name. I have found a record that may help or not Here they are ... Last Name First Name Town Years Volume PageType de Sao Jose Maria Rosalia New Bedford 1894 442 203 Marriage I am wondering if Silvia is her daughter ??? Like I said ... a different angle. Last Name First Name TownYears Volume PageType Gomes Silvia Fall River 1909582 266 Birth I found the above record on Massachusetts Vital Records Indexed 1841 - 1895 It can also be found at footnote.com. Does anyone know what other information it will give?? Thank you for any help or direction Thanks ...
