RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ancestry.com iPhone App
When I switched from the PC to the Mac, I switched from Family Tree Maker to Reunion, which also has an iPhone app. The conversion was straightforward and it's handy having all the information on the iPhone. It seems easier to talk to people without a laptop (less intimidating?). However, the total cost was $130. -Original Message- From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azo...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Jesse Pacheco Sent: Tuesday, January 19, 2010 9:28 PM To: Azores Genealogy Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ancestry.com iPhone App 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.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Amelia Candida Enos
Hi Al and Marek, I also have Enos family. This name has been very mysterious but very important to my family. I still haven't discovered why though. My Ggrandfather, Joseph Victorino, came from Sao Jorge in the late 1880's to New Bedford. In the 1900 census he used the name Joseph Enos, his marriage papers have 2 different names listed on the civil and parish records.one gives his father as Thomazo Veira and the other says Thomazo Oliveira.he never used either of those names. In the 1910 census he had changed his named to Victorino..the odd part is that my ggrandmother, Francisca Rosa de Lemos always gave her name as Frances Enos and they named my grandmother, Clara Enos Victorino..so it was an important name to them but I have no idea why! To further confuse the issue my Mom said that the story went that when he came over the immigration people changed his name from Jose Bettencourt to Jose Victorino..I've looked for the name in the Sao Jorge records...Enos that is and for any man named Thomazo married to an Ana Joaquina.but have found nothing.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: San Francisco and Oakland, CA
A large number of Portuguese came to West Oakland and San Leandro from HI after they finished their agreed upon time working on the sugar plantations in HI. As I was growing up in the 40's, there seemed to be a lot of Portuguese from mainland Portugal in Hayward.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Amelia Candida Enos
I don't know if this will be of any help to any of you looking for Enos' but back in the late 1920's through 1950's or so Bay Point, Ca (Contra Costa County) was known as Enes Tract. Most of the people in that area were from the Azores. My mother was born there. She is a Medeiros. The Enes' built most of the homes there, which is why it was called that. I don't know all of their names but there was Christopher (my brother's godfather), Albert and Bernard. I know the name is spelled a little different but that happens sometimes. There is a street there in Bay Point named Enes Street. There were a number of other portuguese families there also. The one's I can remember are: Evora, Dutra, Medeiros, Mendonsa, Pereira, Alvernaz, Azevedo and of course Enes. It was a small community made up of a few streets with houses and a number of large ranches. The last ranch to be sold to make way for new housing was the Alvernaz ranch which was sold about 8 or 9 years ago and became the San Marcos housing tract adjacent to highway 4. Like I said, I don't know if this info is helpful at all but I thought I would throw it out there just in case.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Rosetta Stone
I did get a demo CD and it really does work. The demonstration used Turkish and I learned more than I thought I ever would. I've wanted to use Rosetta Stone to learn Portuguese. The only thing is, they offer only Brazilian Portuguese which is different from the European version. I check periodically with Rosetta Stone to see if they've added it...as of last month they hadn't but they always tell me to keep checking...the more inquiries they get the more likely they'll add it. Hope this helps Greg Lima Washington State On 1/20/10, Marek Delacroix marekdelacr...@yahoo.com wrote: Has anyone used the Rosetta Stone program to learn a language??? -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
