RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Moniz Surname 1940s Fall River

2014-12-04 Thread Richard Francis Pimentel 
Good Morning Laura,

 

I am glad you have joined the Azores Islands DNA Project. I have been looking 
at my kits this morning and you are a match to my dad, Francis Richard 
Pimentel, my sister, Nina Kewley, my dad’s first Cousin, Shirley Watson, and 
another first cousin of my dad, Robert Lee Carvalho .

 

The good news of all this is that because my dad’s first cousin Shirley is only 
½ Portuguese that eliminates half the potential common ancestor names. I will 
send you a chart with the names privately.

 

Rick

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Moniz Surname 1940s Fall River

 

My name is Laura and I was adopted at birth in 1969. I have been attempting to 
identify my biological father and trace my paternal line.  I have taken the 
Ancestry.com dna test and uploaded my dna profile to Family Tree DNA, as well 
as GEDMatch.  

 

My biological mother was of Irish, German, English and Scottish decent, so I am 
confident that matches of Portuguese decent come from my paternal line.

My DNA matches indicate that my paternal ancestors were from the Island of Sao 
Miguel, Acores.

 

The only information that I have regarding my father is that his went by the 
name Bobby Moniz.  He was approximately 23 years old in 1968 and his family was 
from the Fall River/Seekonk area.  He met my biological mother near her 
father's home in Riverside (East Providence), Rhode Island, where they briefly 
dated.  He was never told of her pregnancy.  She described him as a 
short/stocky man with dark, kinky curly hair.  She remembers he drove a blue 
Ford Farlane.  They spent time together at Sabin Point Park in Riverside, Rhode 
Island.

 

I would be interested in any Moniz surname lines with ancestors from Sao Miguel 
who may have immigrated and/or lived in the Fall River/Seekonk/East Providence 
area between 1940 and 1970.

Hi Laura,

 

I meant to add that I did not have any Moniz in the chart I sent you. This 
would mean that most likely a female sibling of one of the people on the chart 
could have married a Moniz. Then if you start throwing in Portuguese name 
changes it could get confusing. 

 

I also see we have several common matches one of which is Stanley Perry  who is 
my Dad’s 5th cousin.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Salgado family: Help needed

2014-12-04 Thread mances 
John,

I descend from Antonio da Costa Salgado and Ana Furtado whose daughter Ana 
Furtado married Francisco da Costa on 20 aug 1698 in Ponta Garça. I could 
not find yet the connection with the Salgado's from Vila Franca.
I've been told that these Salgado's from Vila Franca came from Galicia when 
Portugal was under the rule of the hispanic monarchy, 1580 - 1640. At this 
time period there was a company of galician troops in Vila Franca. After 
the restoration the galician surnames were gradually dropped out and 
replaced by the traditional azorean surnames into families linked to the 
first settlers, avoiding the patronymics that could indicate a hebraic 
origin.


I looked at my old notes from 2003 when I was researching on the microfilms 
and found this:

 

1. São Pedro, Vila Franca – casamentos:


. 26 nov 1623 (CCA #21) - Manuel de Fontes x Isabel Ferreira

Filho de Antonio Salgado e Teresa de Fonte

Filha de Jorge Ferreira e Apolônia Rodrigues

Test: Rui Gonçalves Perdigão, Antonio Botelho Furtado,  , Antonio de 
Araújo.

 

. 14 abr 1625 (CCA #23) – Tomé de Fontes x Catarina Manuel

Filho de Antonio Salgado e Isabel de Fontes (f), moradores na Matriz de 
Vila Franca.

Filha de Pedro Coelho e Catarina Manuel (f.)

Test.: Francisco Arruda da Cunha,  , Bartolomeu Lopes e Manuel Garcia.

 

. 12 out 1636 (CCA #39) – Antonio Salgado x Isabel Dias

Filho de Antonio Salgado e Beatriz de Fontes

Filha de Manuel Gaspar (f.) e Lucia Fernandes

Moradores nesta freguesia.

Test: Manuel da Ponte Leitão, capitão Antonio Botelho de Sousa, Francisco 
Gonçalves e João de Deus, moradores nesta freguesia.

 

 

2. Matriz, Vila Franca – batismos:

. 11 fev 1624 (CCA #55) – Braz, filho de Antonio Salgado e Beatriz de 
Oliveira. Pd: Jordão Jácome e Águeda Roiz.


Manoel Cesar Furtado

[AZORES-Genealogy] Death Record Info Santa Clara Nov. 2014

2014-12-04 Thread "E" Sharp 
I am trying to find out about a death that I believe occurred this
past Thanksgiving day (2014) in Santa Clara, SC County CA.  There is
no/will be no obituary I am told. This is a grandparent of a close
family member.  Any ideas of how I can find out without having to wait
for it to be posted on SSDI? I do know the cemetery name.  Should I
call them?

Thank you.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA update; response time

2014-12-04 Thread 'Ray Souza' via Azores Genealogy 
Cheri you stated that you have some 10 dollar codes ? Please send me one for  
the Family Finder. Thanks Ray 

 On Wednesday, December 3, 2014 11:47 AM, Cheri Mello

 Thank you to everyone who has been sending me their unused Mystery Rewards 
codes.  Keep them coming.  I believe I am caught up on them.  If you requested 
a code and I did not answer you, that was not my intent.  Email me again.  I 
currently have a lot of the $10 off codes.  The $20 or $25 off are more 
difficult to find.  So far, no one (in the Azores project or in the DNA 
community) has found one of the $49 off a Family Finder test.

General DNA questions:  It took me 2 days, but I believe I have caught up with 
all the questions. Here's some of what I'm getting.

1) Question: I don't know what DNA test to order.
Answer: Order Family Finder.  

2) Question:  Do I test myself or my sibling (or cousin or or or)? (this would 
be with a Family Finder test)
Answer:  If it is in your budget, test both of you.  You may have inherited a 
different 1.5% of DNA from that ancestor 200 years ago than your sibling 
inherited.  Therefore, you and your sibling will have different DISTANT cousin 
matches.  Also, you'll be able to figure out matches easier using you and your 
sibling, you and your first cousin, etc. (Note:  I will find you a code for 
each test you order).

3) Question: I don't know if I should test my DNA or not.  My genealogy is done 
and I don't have anything to contribute.
Answer:  Yes you do have something to contribute. Test your DNA. It's like 
leaving a legacy.  Since the Family Finder test is like a 1000 piece puzzle, we 
need all 1000 pieces to put it together.  You may have pieces 150-200 in your 
DNA and you could be the person that helps us link lines together.

Then there are the specific DNA questions about getting to the lineage of a 
particular ancestor.  If you email me and don't get a response back soon enough 
(within a day), go ahead and email Rick, Nancy Jean, or Kalani.  Just let them 
know you emailed me too and I haven't answered. 

Due to work schedule this month, I may take more than a day to answer 
questions, especially if you are emailing on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday.  
This will clear up on Dec. 18th for me.  So if I don't answer you soon enough, 
email Rick, Nancy Jean, or Kalani.
