NEWS IN RECORDS PRESERVATION - unedited

Please pass this information on to other groups, people, institutions via
email or social networks.

The file of the old files of the Metropolitan Archive of the Curia of São
Paulo was digitized. This binder is an index of waivers, divorces,
annulments of marriage, priestly qualifications, crimes, autocís, wills,
etc. the states of São Paulo, and other states of Brazil, and especially
the cities of Paranaguá and Curitiba. There are approximately 3,000
eighteenth-century dispensaries in Curitiba and Paranaguá. There are almost
20,000 chips that are now available to the public at no cost.

There are also in this binder more than 12,000 records of marriage
dispensations in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, ranging from 1841 to
1896. A few from 1897-1930.

These waivers were discovered after FamilySearch did the microfilming in
the archive in the 1980s. Jair who is the technical director of the archive
organized these documents and cataloged them. We thank Jair for the great
work he does in organizing and serving the public in the role of technical
director, as we also thank the direction of the file in the person of
Reverendíssimo Martín Segú Girona with his generosity in having allowed us
to do this work.

There are some tokens that are out of order as I noticed you have felony
wills, etc. We suggest for the good of the community and the project that
while they are viewing these images you put in another tab an email to our
organization contact @ recordspreservation and let us know if images are
upside down, blank, placed in the wrong place. Please place the listing
location as well as the image number. Corrections if necessary will be made
in the coming weeks.

Here is the link to our cybersite where you can see the list of available
fiches: (see original email for the link).

Veronica,
There is a book that you can buy on Amazon called Acores Nove Ilhas, Uma
Historia--Azores, Nine Islands, One History by Susana Goulart Costa. It is
written in two parts, Portuguese and English. It is a good overall history
of the islands as a whole. It's $24.95 plus S & H.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Medeiros to Hawaii

2018-08-26 Thread Celito Medeiros
I've been researching a lot about the MEDEIROS who immigrated from the 
Azores and Madeira, especially in 1922, where many went to Hawaii. My 
Family Medeiros, unfortunately some went to the United States of America 
and others mistakenly to the United States of Brazil, America (thus Brazil 
was known).
Especially I searched for a Medeiros who went to Hawaii with his uncles, 
but his father went to Brazil and there was no way to get in touch. The 
small boats followed the steamships, paid a fee, if they had storms 
collected them on board. Then they sent women and children with some uncles 
and the Men were last to get their business right. It was there that the 
father of this Medeiros did not arrive in Hawaii. These 29-year-old boys 
were a US Navy Pilot in 1945, had a wife and two children, but died in 
defense of the California Coast right in San Francisco, which plane was 
damaged and landing was unfortunate. Well, your wife died in 2005, but you 
have kids around the age of 75 ...
But believe me if you can, he has finally found his Family in Brazil, and 
here he is having a new life (this is from his book in the chapter "My Last 
Lives".
They are stories of Medeiros ... Before the Azores, from the place 'Behind 
the Mountains' in Portugal, and even earlier, Germany and Israel at the 
beginning of the family tree.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Translation Assistance - Death Paschoal de Sousa Leal 25 July 1745(?)

2018-08-26 Thread bsei2816
Hello Tony,

I can make out a little of it (I think), but not too much in the later part 
that I think is mostly about the burial.  The main point I can make is the 
date of death is the 24th.  "Digo" literally translates as "I say" but as 
used in this context it is "... what I meant to say was..." for the priest 
to correct what he wrote wrong.

My wife has some ancestry from Manadas and grandparents named Amarante, but 
they are from the neighboring parish of Urzelina.  My wife and I recently 
made a trip to visit there.  Do you know a Maria Jose Azevedo da Silveira?

Gwen, You need to transfer to FTDNA where we have the Azores DNA Project, or 
better yet, test on FTDNA's chip (Ancestry has under 200,000 family markers 
whereas FTDNA tests for 700,000 markers). And FTDNA is having a sale this week. 
Rick Pimentel, my co-admin, will post the direct link to order. If you want to 
transfer, I can get you that information in a day.

 

Also, I don't see a lot of U.S. based research mentioned in your post. I'm 
hoping someone can post the link from the Azores GenWeb for Gwen.

 

I'm not at home and right now I am not on my computer, so I am asking others to

John:  thanks for the response.  You had some  contact with my brother Greg 
Caldeira in 2013 but he kind of dropped researching; he did find a local paper 
article from 1921 about the death of our grandfather Joseph Freitas Caldeira  
Sr's train-car accident which was quite enlightening but gave us no new names 
of possible sibs to give us Caldeira family info. Greg did visit Flores  3 yrs 
ago, met a cousin from JFC's side of the family and got some info on cousins 
(mostly in Brazil as it turns out) but not about any sibs who actually lived in 
the US and may have had kids who would be our cousins.  I did unearth a trove 
of  photos -- most looked to be from 1920-30s  --  our Nana left us when she 
died in 1965 that points to a close relationship between JFC Sr with at least 
one brother (Jao or John we think), and we have a story of questionable 
reliability that JFC Sr may have 2 or 3 sisters he lived with in the US in the 
early 1900s but nothing about their married names or any offspring who'd be 
cousins.  But we've got nothing really about Nana Sears/Soares Caldeira's real 
last name (or her real first name...she was variously referred to as Mary, 
Maria, and Mariann) and whether she did/didn't have a brother living in the US 
(photo with the two, but he could have been visiting from the Azores, not here 
in the US).  Most photos had no names of who was in the pictures; my attempt at 
trying to trace people through the studio names on some of the portrait frames 
was a dead end since they were so old.

 

So I'm trying to pick up on my Dad's parents and grandparents because we have 
so few clues about who they were and which if any siblings might have come to 
the US and would be our 2nd or 3rd cousins.  My DNA points toward a large 
Italian/Greek and Irish connection that would have  to be from my paternal 
grandparents or ggp generations and not really far back, something intriguing 
and unexpected.  Beyond trying to get in touch with some of the names  the DNA 
matches gave me, I'm lost.  Greg did find the ship Joseph Freitas Caldeira Sr 
arrived on in early 1900s in Providence but evidently he came alone (or with a 
relative with a different surname).  We know some first cousins (some we don't 
due to alienation between Dad and 2 sisters) but even they don't  know any 
names beyond Nana and our grandfather.  One first cousin is having her DNA done 
 which may give us some help refining DNA matches to contactbut I'm finding 
people don't check their Ancestry.com accounts for messages very often so 
getting replies back is slow.   I've tried to find my Nana 
Sears/Soares-Caldeira on  ship manifest lists with variations of first and last 
names, but so far no luck.  Because there's so much Italian/Greek DNA in my DNA 
profile, I'm wondering if our assumption  "Mary Sears" had to be "Mary Soares"  
isn't a good one, but then I don't what other names or ship manifest lists to 
try.  I'm hoping her 1965 death cert lists her parents names and maybe which 
island she debarked from. We're believe my Nana was never naturalized, and 
census data just says "Mary Caldeira" though there could be a 1910 
(pre-marriage) census she appears on, but under what name and where (we think 
she lived in Idaho after emigrating but are unsure when she came to the SF 
area)?

 

The  "Joseph Freitas from Craterville:"  gave me a chuckle.  We'd always 
thought more volcano  or cauldron, a little more dignified than "Craterville."  
We know from JFC Sr.'s death cert his father went by 'Frank Freitas
