[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: San Francisco and Oakland, CA
Hi Eric, Thank you for that information. I wonder if the supposedly un-related MOURA families in the Oakland area connected up with each other.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] San Francisco and Oakland, CA
As the farmland got paved over, many of the families moved south. I live in San Martin and we still have a fair number of descendants down here in the Gilroy, San Martin and Morgan Hill area.

The surrounding areas would include Hayward, Milpitas,and Alameda. Further down, there are San Jose and Santa Clara.There are still some large portuguese celebrations held in those areas. As for the Wine Country, that would be Napa and Sonoma counties and would include towns such as Napa, Santa Rosa, Sebastopol, Petaluma and Bodega Bay. Back in the day, there were a lot of dairies in those area also and many portuguese were milkers on them. Good luck with your search Mary Ann In a message dated 1/17/2010 2:55:03 P.M.

Hi Steven, A list of FHCs can be found on the FamilySearch Web site: http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/FHC/frameset_fhc.asp Just fill in the blanks (you don't need the county). The address for the North Dartmouth FHC is: 400 Cross Rd. N. Dartmouth, MA 508-994-0413 The hours vary (especially in the winter due to weather) and due to volunteer power. Generally, they have hours on Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Since George Pacheco is one of the volunteers, I'd email him directly to find what hours are scheduled for February: bretanha1954 at yahoo dot com Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

Hi everyone. I don't know who else uses an iPhone but Ancestry just launched their app. It's free and worth trying. The most interesting feature is the ability to take and upload photos directly from the app. There is no family tree view in this version though. If you have an iPhone though, you might still prefer to view Ancestry from Safari. The app is free though, so it's worth a try. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
