[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Pleasanton conference
Eric, Thank you. That was perfect. I remember getting Cheri's e-mail, but I wasn't able to open the site for the conference. So I was thinking it was down in Southern CA. There is the Pleasanton History library on Main Street. We found some of our grandparents graduation pictures from High School. Kind of fun. If anyone attending had relatives who lived in Pleasanton, you need to call the Library ahead of time and schedule an appointment for one of the volunteers to help you do some local research. Patsy and I spent over an hour with two ladies who were so helpful and fun pulling out high school year books for us. Friday and Saturday nights in Pleasanton on Main Street are good for walking through old town, a lot of the restaurants have outside dinning and for the coffee and ice cream lovers you can enjoy both on your walks. I do recommend that you chat and get a count for those wanting to have dinner together on Fri/Sat night as walk ins for a large party will be an hour or more wait. For those liking Mexican food, I would recommend Alberto's' Cantina on Main. They offer a room in the back, semi private depending on how large a group that you have. Food is great, and the price is affordable. And for the breakfast lovers, it's Dean's Cafe with 101 omelettes to choose from. I'm jealous for you if you go and order the linguisa avocado omelet, my favorite and not available here in Utah. Get there early. I'm not sure if they open at 6:00 or 7:00 but they fill up fast. They are in old town across from Christensen's Saddlery on Main Steet. To all who get to attend the workshop, enjoy.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: ÁLVARO NORONHA, 1875-1941, b orn Topo, São Jorge, died LA Co., Calif.
Thanks for checking Álvaro Noronha for me, Cheri. Finally got around to looking him up on Ancestry.com this morning. Interesting that he married comparatively late in life, and to a woman of his own generation from a different island (São Miguel), hence no children -- since a fair number of Azorean men in those days married much younger women (e.g., my Grandma and especially her sister) and often from the same island (or, in the case of my Great-aunt, she was born in California but her mother was from Flores, and she married an immigrant from nearby Corvo). Was slightly surprised that Álvaro was 5'10", which strikes me as rather tall for a Portuguese man of his generation (b. 1875). On the other hand, some of the Noronha males I've met on São Jorge are 6' or taller, even one born circa 1920, so maybe it's something in the genes. Ancestry also has a scan of Álvaro's 1917-18 draft registration card (he would've been in his early 40s by then, so not prime draft material, I'd imagine), which lists his occupation as "Dairyman" working for one Joe Enos Bettencourt -- Cheri, can you decipher the placename of the RFD address, apparently in LA County, Cal.? -- and also cites Álvaro's mother Rosa as still alive back on São Jorge as his next of kin.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Anyone using Ipad for genealogy
Is anyone using the Ipad for their genealogy program? Or is this even possible? I am thinking of purchasing one but only if I can store my genealogy records on it.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Anyone using Ipad for genealogy
"E" Funny you should raise that question. I belong to the Computer Genealogy Society [in] San Diego [CA) and that was the very issue that our presentation was on. It was "Genealogy in the Cloud" and was about using an iPad for genealogy--and how you do not need programs like FamilyTreeMaker, RootsMagic, TMG or any of the others. Now you can do genealogy "on the web.through Google docs. It was a real good presentation.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Join Ancestry.com in the San Francisco Bay Area
If I'm able to attend, I like the "scarf" idea. I'm a scarf wearer - whereas now days not too many people are. Though I would like to see how the men would wear a scarf. :) Robin - Original Message - From: Cheri Mello To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: 2010-08-20 13:05 Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Join Ancestry.com in the San Francisco Bay Area Celeste, No, I have another obligation. At genealogy shows, I'm kind of obnoxious (as others can tell you). I've worn costumes, band uniforms, or taken one of those little desk flags and put my hair up in the clip and put the flag in it. I also have a name badge from the So. Cal Gen Society with dangles on it listing about 4 of my freguesias. If I remember right, the first time I met you, I told you what the band uniforms looked like and you found the band director. I had changed clothes (that's why you couldn't find me) and the director came up to me and said there was a woman with a straw hat over by some trees with an index card that read AZORES GENEALOGY or whatever you had written! LOL If only a few people wore scarves though, everyone else could be looking for the scarf people or meeting up afterwards at Eric's store.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Anyone using Ipad for genealogy
I have an iPad and love it! I would say that it is not a substitute for a computer but is an enhancement to my lifestyle. That being said, yes, you can put your genealogy on the iPad. I am a Mac user and use Reunion. There is a version of Reunion for the iPhone that works well on the iPad too. LeisterPro is currently working on a native version of Reunion for the iPad. But, meanwhile, the iPhone version works well and is complete with sources, images, etc. Also, there are numerous other programs available for the iPad that will take a gedcom from your Windows genealogy program and convert it for use on their program on your iPad. Just recently, a new iPad app was released that will work with Legacy, an excellent Windows genealogy program. So, yes, there are a lot of options available to have your genealogy on your iPad. I also use Bento, a database program, to keep my research notes in, both on my computers and on my iPad so I have it all with me all the time. :) What I would recommend, if you are interested, is to go to the Apple App Store by using iTunes on your computer and do a search for genealogy. Some apps only work with their regular computer counterparts such as Reunion or MobileFamilyTree which works with MacFamilyTree. But, one I have used is FamViewer which is very good and imports gedcoms I know that FTM is releasing a Mac version soon but there is nothing about an iPad or iPhone version that I have heard of. But, again, that FamViewer would fit your needs nicely, either coming from Windows or a Mac genealogy program. If you have any other questions about the iPad, you might want to email me off the list and I'd be happy to answer them.
