Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese citizenship
It's my understanding that the majority of Americans applying for Portuguese passports to obtain dual citizenship are children of people born in portugal. They can travel in the 27 EU countries with ease, live there or work there sans visas and a whole lot more. You don't need a Portuguese passport when traveling in the EU countries since the Portuguese ID card (BI) is all that is asked for. The ease of travel within the EU countries was the reason I looked into this about six years ago. helen cunha kerner From: Nivea nivea...@gmail.com To: Azores Genealogy azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Thu, February 2, 2012 6:01:06 AM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese citizenship Dual citizenship also comes in handy when traveling to countries that aren't US friendly...

Well, Steve, that's the media for you. I have been interviewed for newspapers and then the article is written in such a way (with a quote completely out of context) that the article is dead wrong.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Numbering systems for family records
I assign a PERSONAL I.D. number to each direct ancestor. This was when I am looking for someone, the I.D. number is right there with their name. I am #1, my father is #2, my mother is #3, etc. The same as Celeste does. Shirley in CA - Original Message - From: celeste perry To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2012 9:56 AM Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Numbering systems for family records Mary, FTM (Family Tree Maker) assigns a number to each entry. I don't pay too much attention to the numbers. When printing a report or chart (descendent/ancestor/etc.) a number is assigned (by the program). #1 is the person with whom you begin. If the report is about me, I am #1. #2 is my father, #3 is my mother. My paternal grandfather is #4, paternal grandmother is #5. Maternal grandfather is #6, maternal grandmother is #7. The pattern is to double the male ancestor and double, plus 1 for the female ancestor. This happens automatically in FTM. I know that Shirley uses her numbering system in a different way. She will have to explaine how hers works. One thing I have done is to write IN ALL CAPS the people who are direct ancestors and their siblings, etc. in Regular Type. This helps me know immediately when I look in the index if someone is a direct line or not. It has saved me time when I am trying to match a name. The other thing I have done is to file my index by first name. I have found that the non-existent naming tradition for Portuguese I have researched makes it very time consuming to try to find a name in my large index. By using first names (for the most part) I have better success knowing that a Manuel may have different surnames (depending on what he was calling himself at the time) and looking at each Manuel is a lot easier than going from one surname to another in the index. All the Manuel's are in alpha order in one place.

Does it make sense to assign a unique number to each individual that is added or to only use numbers (e.g. ahnentafel system) when creating a report for a specific branch of the family? What are good references for organizing family history records? I use Reunion (for Macs) and am still learning about its features. Thanks!

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Rosemarie (Gomes) Evans Obituary
I looked this item up in Ancestry, and it linked to a citation: EVANS, Rosemarie (GOMES); 93; ; SF Chronicle (CA); 1998-9-15; bjw This is an obituary index, and it seems that her obit appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle, Sept 15, 1998. The newspaper's online index at Legacy.com only goes back as far as 2005, which is why you couldn't get it to come up Then I googled, How do I get back issues of the San Francisco chronicle and got some info at http://www.sfgate.com/chronicle/faq.shtml#faq10 : The newspaper says it is possible to get back issues; here is the edited information . You might want to call the number and see what other options may be available to get a copy of that obituary. Maybe a library out there has microfilmed images, and would do a lookup and send you a copy. Good luck! Where can I get back issues? There are three ways to get back issues: In person at The San Francisco Chronicle, by mail, by Federal Express. There is a charge. Address: 901 Mission Street, San Francisco (corner of Fifth Street) Hours: Monday - Friday, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM Only the past thirty (30) days are available in person.

Jorge, so that needs to be corrected), of this Villa, freguesia of Sao Jorge, council of Velas, diocese of Angra, died receiving the sacraments of the Saint Mother Church, an individual of the sex feminine, by the name of Victorina Claudia Furtado, of the age of 78 years, widow of Jose da Rosa Furtado, native of this freguesia (that would be Victorina), where she was living/residing, daughter natural of pai incoginto (father unknown) and of Maria Theresa, both natives of this freguesia, Matriz, that the witnesses something or the other (that might be the part where it says no will), 5 children, and was buried in the cemetery public, in this Villa. It was answered and written in duplicate and recorded... It was as above (that part is Latin). Then he signs. Someone else will fill in or correct some of my loosey-goosey parts.
