RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Searching for D'Andrade in Sao Miguel
I'm glad Elizabeth you gave your info since I didn't have it and you know as we discussed that I have Manuel de Almeida de Andrade Rodrigues from Sao Roque as my ggrandfather b. abt. 1855. Also his daugther, my grandmother Maria do Espirito Santo de Andrade b. 1884 always carrying her name as de Andrade so my mother always said. I never heard my mother say de Almeida or even Rodrigues. She has listed on her marriage certificate she is from Ariffes. Manuel was married to Maria da Gloria from Faja de Baixo. They had four children: Odelia, Anton, my grandmother and Elise. Odelia married and went to Canada with two children, Anton never married (spent all the money given to him) and my grandmother and Elise had 17 children between the both of them, but 10 of them died. Supposedly my ggrandfather was very wealthy. I think it was a mill that he owned because some of what was left (equipment) went to my grandmother and probably the other sisters as a dowry. I just remember my mother telling me that her nephew who still lives in Ribeira Grande sold off the last of everything back in the 80's/90's and my mom told him to keep the money. She said it didn't add up to much supposedly. That's all I know about her maternal side. I will have to get certificates and see what I can find out. I know that Celeste helped me when she went there in 07 and found quite a few Manuel Rodrigues. The only one that was close was Manuel and Marie (twins) March 7, 1896. Manuel de Almeida and Maria Jacintha. Paternal Jose de Almeida and Maria Joaquina; Maternal Roque Rodrigues and Rosa Jacintha. Close because it's the only one I saw de Almeida and Rodrigues together. Again this was from Sao Roque. Maybe someone may pick up something from this info and help us out.

Hi, My Borbas are from Vila Nova (Lourenço de Borba actually). I have them from early 1800s back to 1600.

[AZORES-Genealogy] de Borba and da Silva from Vila Nova, Terceira
Hello, I just received some information from Terceira. I don't have much but I figure why not post it up and see if there is a connection. Narciso Coelho de BORBA married Rita Candida da SILVA. I am guessing they are probably from Vila Nova, assuming that their daughter Narcisa, (my great grandmother) was born there in 1890.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Beginning search Domingos (Domingues)/da Souza/Costa
Hi Yvonne, 1) The surname Domingos or Domingues? Personally, I've seen Domingos more. When it is pronounced, it sounds like Domings, which is how you got the spelling of your surname. However, in "A History of the Azores Islands," by James H. Guill, he has seen both spellings (Domingos and Domingues) recorded in the records. They may have be interchangeable back in time. In modern Portuguese, perhaps one is more of a first name and one is more of a surname, but since I only read old Portuguese, I'll let the native speakers address that one. 2) The de Souza (or Sousa) name. It could be a name from the mother or it could be the name from another ancestor. Souza (old Portuguese) or Sousa (modern Portuguese) is either the most common surname or the 2nd most common. I remember reading somewhere that Silveira and Sousa are the most common, but I don't remember where I read that and which was 1 and which was 2. The de,do, da, is just a prefix to the surname. 3) Ship's manifest for Lipordina I assume you are talking about the American arrival records. Go look at the manifests LEAVING the Azores. They are called "Passaportes" and they are on the CCA site here: http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/ Right now, they are online only for the port of Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel, so you are in luck there. You can probably find Joao de Souza Domingos coming both times and you should be able to find Lipordinha. From the Portuguese end, the should be spelling her name close to correctly for that time period. They are in Portuguese, but just zoom and and start reading the names. If you need help, copy the whole URL (www. thing) and paste it and people from this list will help you read the rest. (Note: Sometimes posting the web address (URL; www.thing) will get you caught in the spam filter, but don't worry, I'll release it.) Also, use any browser except Firefox to look at the CCA site (use Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, etc). Firefox stops working right before you view the image. 4) FamilySearch and Ancestry Don't trust either one until you find the ORIGINAL source they used. Many family stories are just that - stories. Some have a grain of truth. My 76 year old dad is getting used to me picking his brain about family history stuff. "Well, Grandpa said." and he proceeds to tell me the story. Then he says, "But Grandpa told me that when I was 7, 8, 9 and I don't know how much is fact and how much was Grandpa amusing us kids."

[AZORES-Genealogy] Beginning search Domingos (Domingues)/da Souza/Costa
Greetings, I am new to the group and new to searching for ancestors. I wonder if you all could help me get further information as I have exhausted everything I know about or understand how to do at this point. I am researching the line of my husband's grandparents João de Souza Domingos (b.6 Jul. 1881) and Lipordinha R. Costa (b. 1891?). My husband's grandfather João came to the Cambridge, MA on the Peninsular on 18 Sep. 1896 (or 1898) and again in 1905. João married (4 Apr. 1910) Lipordinha R. Costa (b. 1891) and lived in Hudson, MA before moving to Somerville during the 1920's. João's parents are Pasqual Domingos (or Domingues) who married Maria Jose (b. 1864 - one record says she was born in Lagoa). I believe the family is from São Miguel (some records say Ponta Delgada, others say Matriz.) Other children of Pasqual and Maria Jose are Manuel de Souza Domingos (b. 1883) Louis de Sousa Domingos (b. 1889) Maria de Sousa Domingos (b. 1891) Albert de Souza Domingos (1893-1952) Laura Souza Domingos (b. 1897) Lipordinha's parents are Maria Santos and Manuel J. Costa (b. ~1855). Lipordinha reportedly came to the US in 1906. Her sisters are Adelina and Marianna who both married Manuel Custodio (Marianna died in childbirth). I believe they may have had a brother named Antone. Lipordina was also known as Pauline. The last name Domingos was Anglicized to Domings by the 1930 census. Joao (aka John) and Lipordinha's (aka Pauline) Domingos' children are Laura (b. 1911) Louis (b. 1912) Mary (b. 1915) William (b. 1916) Arthur (b. 1920) Edward (b. 1922) Gloria (b. 1929) Robert (b. 1930) (my f-i-l) I have three questions or things that are puzzling me at the moment that I would like the groups help with: 1) The surname Domingos or Domingues? Although I have records that João has written his name "Domingos," I recently found information on a Maria Jose Domingues traveling to the US multiple times under the spelling Domingues. She lists her son Manuel (similar address in Cambridge and the correct occupation) as her contact in the US so I'm pretty sure it is her. I'm not sure which spelling is correct (Domingos or Domingues), as there seem to be records for both spellings. People from Sao Miguel tell me that the surname is most commonly spelled Domingues there with Domingos commonly being a first name. 2) The de Souza (or Sousa) name. A lot of the siblings of Joao had the middle name which is actually how I found them. Would this be their mother's maiden name or could it be another ancestor's name? I see lots of people talking about others who use this middle name with a different surname. I wonder if it is simply common or could there be a link? 2) Ship's manifest for Lipordina I have not found the ships manifest for Lipordinha's of the other Costas' arrival. I did find a manifest of the Romanic from 4 Jul 1906. This keeps coming up but the name is Leopoldina Costa who is reported to be 7 years old in 1906. The mother's name was right and they reported to be meeting a Manuel Costa in Taunton, MA. The confusing part of that is that she reported being 19 in 1910 when she got married, so I'm not sure it is her. The name Lipordina (or Lipordinha or Leopoldina) is unique enough that it keeps making me wonder. Any insight anyone might provide is greatly appreciated Do any of these names sound familiar to anyone? Do you have any advice? I have very little information on the Costas. I believe they were from São Miguel as well although I'm not positive. Someone told me that many of the people who ended up in Hudson, MA were from Santa Maria. I wonder about that as well. All of this came from Family Search.org and Ancestry. I'm not sure where to go from here. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
