RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] grandmother with pais incognito
Joanne, There is an entry on the passports in Ponta Delgada on Feb 13, 1904 for a Jose Pereira son of Joaquim Pereira and Emilia Augusta traveling with his wife Francisca de Jesus age 25 and Humberto age 1. If this is your family, they are from Sao Rogue, Ponta Delgada. Have you tried the microfilm at the FHC? It should be easy enough to find since you know the birth date.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: grandmother with pais incognito
Joanne, I've found baptisms for children with pai incógnito among legitimate birth baptisms in 19th-century registos kept in parishes on Flores and São Jorge, so I wonder if the same was true for São Miguel. In fact, I'd estimate that roughly 1 in 6 to 8 baptisms in those parishes for was a child without an acknowledged father -- though of course it's entirely likely that both parents and their families knew perfectly well who the dad was :-) Katharine.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Almeida
In searching the Pereira Azevedo family I've met so many nice, helpful people on this website. I'm not sure if the following information will help you. If not perhaps it will help someone else. Ted Vierra from Los Angeles wrote my sister: Because my grandfather Joseph Vierra (1856-1937) who was born on Flores had in his possession at the time of his death an old photograph of A.J.Almeida and family taken in Sonora, CA (Tuolumne County). I have presumed a family relationship, but have never proved it. Mary Ennis Price, an Azevedo, married A.J.Almeida. My sister replied I found that Antonio Joseph Almeida lived in Springfield about 1900 and was a registered voter. The census shows him living in Berkley and that he had a wife named Mary. Berkley is a town next to Oakland. Some of my family used the name Azevedo and some used Pereira, changing it again to Perry and Prara.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Velas marriages 1918-20
The only thing I might know is that post-1910 records are stored in local municipal buildings -- as opposed to in Regional Archives (in the case of São Jorge, in the Angra Public Library). I vaguely recall on my first visit to São Jorge that my cousin Carlos tried to check something for me in Calheta, but it turned out to have been pre-1911, alas. Presumably Velas keeps its own hard copies of records, though I have no idea re online availability. Can you email for guidance their city or concelho hall? Or maybe to the Velas Public Library?

Freitas Library before, you'll be impressed at what a comprehensive reference resource it is, and it might be of help in your research! Their web homepage is: http://www.mypfsa.org/library I can't seem to find an online listing of their holdings, but it's late here so my Googling skills are feeling a bit fuzzy :-) If someone else can locate it online, would you please post it to the group? Thanks. Hope some of you are able to attend the event and meet everyone there! Katharine P.S. It's not that far from major freeways, as I recall.

My own presentations (blush) of two books I co-translated -- held last September at several locations around California, including the J.A. Freitas Library -- was a great experience. Tim, Isolete and the rest of the folks at the then-UPEC extended gracious hospitality to all of us involved with the books, plus there was a fabulous buffet during the book signing! If you go, be sure to say Hi for me. Katharine.

Freitas Library, 1120 East 14th St., San Leandro, CA 94577. The description read: In the first half of the ninetenth century whaling was one of the young American nation's most important industries, providing lubricants and illumination as well as baleen, the plastic of its day. So Ends this Day traces the history of the American Whaling industry from its seventeen-century beginning, while highlighting the role of its Portuguese participants. The event is sponsored by the Portuguese Studies Culture, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. If you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you might like to attend.
