Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Introducing myself

2019-11-20 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

 Brian,
Let me know if you are interested in sharing information.  My family line goes 
back to Guadalupe, Graciosa too.  Mainly Victoria, but Praia is also in the 
mix.  Feel free to email directly.  I also owe a lot to Bill Seidler for his 
help in translating records.
Family names: Espional, Silva, Vasconcellos, Conde, and Bettencourt.
Regards,
Bill Boyd

 Hey guys,
I've never introduced myself on here - I've made a few posts under the username 
'analytic advantage'.
I'll be going to the genealogy conference in 2020 to align with going to the 
Acores to try and fill gaps in history and names etc.  I currently live in 
Mexico but was born in Canada.  My family, mostly, comes from Sao Jorge, 
Graciosa, and Terceira to a lesser extent.  I got extremely lucky with my 
grandfather's line on my mom's side and was able to go back as far as I 
reliable could, which was prior to 900CE (Noronha).  His wife is a Cordeiro, 
and we have that line back to 1700 or so, back to Guadalupe/Praia Graciosa, to 
Manuel Espinola De Mendonca.  My family primarily lived in Praia, Graciosa - 
Urzelina Sao Jorge - and Angra
I owe a great deal to Bill Seidler.  I started our tree back in 2008, but ran 
into a lot of issues in consistency, so I stopped until two years ago.  He was 
able to fill in a lot of blanks for me that he was able to find with the advent 
of the records being made available on the internet. I was able to pay him back 
in a wealth of family photos.  I've restored old images for a number of years, 
including as far back as the first photographs on the islands.  To date I have 
around 100 from my family line alone.  I also have a lot of paperwork and low 
print number books etc that are hard to find.  
Glad I found this.  
Gracias!

Is this index supposed to be for all naturalizations no matter what state they

That is a terrible cost. I agree with Rosemarie it should be under the Freedom

which was around 25 cents.  This is crazy charging so much to get a copy of a

easy to mistake the date if you don't know which decade that you are searching!

Hello Bill
There seems to be a page or scans (13v and 14) missing. This is casamento #50
and the next page has what I assume is the last part of Casamento #52 before
#53 starts. Looking at the last page of the index (image 115), it seems the
end of 50, all of 51, and the beginning of 52 are missing. The bride's name
is on the right margin where possibly someone tried to recover the lost
information. It is Domingas Avila de Bettencourt and can be confirmed on the
index at the end of this book. Her parents names are not clear to me but I
believe I see Manuel Lobam C?? and Catharina ?
As for Vasconcellos, look at Fran-CisCo (lines 7&8). I think the large Cs are
purely stylistic.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Attaching the CCA images to your Ancestry.com Tree

2019-03-28 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

 I know this has been answered already, but there are some subtleties I would 
like to add.
   
   - I right click on the image and save to my download directory
   - Launch the file to edit in Irfanview
   - I'll generally crop to the record desired and do auto color correction 
(helps with readability by taking out the yellowing)
   - If there are multiple pages (i.e, two files), I will crop each file and 
then use Irfanview to paste special (add on side).  This allows the image to be 
pasted to left, right, top or bottom of the target image
   - I enter the person's name and type of record in Ancestry's title field
   - For Ancestry's details field, I select "Document / Certificate"
   - I enter the date of the record in the Ancestry date field.  Generally, 
Ancestry wants the date you added the image to Ancestry.  I don't find this 
useful
   - For Ancestry's place field, I enter the event location (e.g., Guadalupe, 
Santa Cruz da Graciosa, Ilha da Graciosa, Açores, Portugal).  I usually get 
this from the Portugal postcode database 
(http://prt.postcodelist.com/region/Guadalupe_4.html)
   - In Ancestry's description field I enter the record name (the file name: 
GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1907-1911_item1) and the CCA link
   - In the last Ancestry field, Transcription, I transcribe the record 
(generally a portion).  I generally leave this in Portuguese
   - If the record includes multiple people from the tree (i.e., marriage with 
parents and grandparents) I will add the people to the Linked to section.  
Generally, I'll add the record, add the people, and then go back and link the 
record to multiple people.
   - If the record is the only image for the person, I will generally make it 
the profile picture for the primary person/people only (e.g., the married 
couple, baptized child, deceased person, etc.).  This really helps to see why 
the person was added from the tree view or primary profile view.
Hope this helps!

I have a partial translation for this baptism (bottom 
right):http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1717-1730/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1717-1730_item1/P154.html

Partial translation:Manoel filho de Pedro do Conde Sodre e de [Agada Mejeo?] de 
Dona Barbara de Mello Parochiano de [?]  moradora no Caminho da Victoria nos ao 
em os dez de Setembro de mil sete centos vinte oito, e [foy?] Parochial de 
Nossa Senora de Guadalupe em os [?] de mes e anno em ...

The wife's name should be (according to other sources) Catarina Antunes de 
Miranda.  What is the name of Pedro's spouse and what are the words before her 
name?  Also, I couldn't determine Manoel's birth date.
I'm starting to explore earlier records hoping to find a connection from the 
Azores to the mainland.  We are planning a trip to Portugal in the Summer and I 
would really love to find where either the Conde line or the da Silva de 
Vasconcellos originated.  Any assistance is greatly appreciated!

 Bill,
Thank you!  This means this is the "wrong" Manoel.  My great aunt's husband 
died in California in 1939:
Name: Manuel PetersBirth Year: abt 1879Death Date: 8 Mar 1939Age at Death: 
60Death Place: Stanislaus, California, USA
The birth year may have been provided incorrectly to me by the family.  Census 
ages indicate 1875-1877.  The CA death index indicates 1879.  I'll keep looking 
in other years.
Thank you again!

Manoel "Pereira" Cunha is the husband of my great aunt.  A cousin asked me to 
investigate the family name change.  Sometime after 1911, after marrying my 
great aunt, Manoel changed his last name to "Peters".  The family lore of this 
change is that their mail kept getting confused with another family with the 
same last name of "Pereira" so they changed their last name to "Peters".
I searched for the marriage record for Manoel and my great aunt Basalissa 
Augusta Isabel Conde, but there is no marriage record for 23 Apr 1911.  Likely 
because 1911 tends to be partial being the cutoff year for available digital 
records.
I was able to find a passenger manifest for May 1911 showing the newlyweds 
returning from Graciosa.  In if, Manoel is listed as "Manoel P. Cunha".
Searching for Manoel's baptism, I found the following record.  However, the 
parental names would seem to indicate his name as "Picanço Cunha" rather than 
"Pereira Cunha".
This brings a couple questions:* Is "Peters" commonly substituted for 
"Picanço"?  I know "Perry" is common for "Pereira".* The attached baptism 
appears to be the correct Manoel.  My ad-hoc translation is very poor.  Can 
someone please indicate what the margin notes in the baptism indicate?  The 
watermark is in the way, unfortunately.  I'm surmising that Manoel was married 
before my great aunt and that she passed away.
Thank you in advance!
I'm attaching a color optimized version of the record.  This link is to the 
original:http://culturacores.azores. gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] CCA Down

2017-01-18 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

João,
Storage is cheap these days.  There are many options to share storage between 
servers.  I've done many records implementations with content-addressable 
storage (CAS), which works great for files that don't change (e.g., records).  
Multiple servers can access the content over an IP network.  Replication 
between shelves and over devices ensures backup availability.  We've had them 
fail over automatically over long distances too.  Many fault tolerant 
implementations can work in an active-active configuration to help ensure 
seamless fail-over and full use of the infrastructure during normal operation.  
Performance can be reduced on fail-over, but it least operations continue
I like the idea of hosting at FamilySearch, and possibly other services.  
Perhaps we could get a good index built!  They wouldn't want to give up rights 
to the content, but perhaps they could find a better way to drive traffic to 
their site.  Honestly, I just go directly to the content and can't say what 
else is on the site
Regards,
Bill

Victor,
The "cloud" is not free... And while I do agree that on principle it would make 
sense, the truth is that the thing that's REALLY expensive on the cloud is 
storage. You can get Amazon Web Services to scale easily the number of servers, 
but telling that each of those servers would have to be able to store and 
replicate several Terabytes of data would probably consume the budget for the 
whole archipelago quite fast.
And it doesn't make sense to have several servers all going to the same storage 
server wherever they store all those images.
Things that would make sense:1. Allowing Familysearch to serve those images 
(pros: free, and no work necessary; cons: nobody would use the CCA servers ever 
again).2. See 1., to be honest.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Is there a trick to searching the Portuguese Newspaper Collection at UMass website?

Bill, 
Okay...I don't use the browser buttons.  I know about the page 1-25 button and 
I use the Show previews/Show Document toggle.  

I believe there is some sort of delay going on.  Because I am having the same 
problem.  
I click on a document
I view the PDF
I toggle back to the previews
I click on another document
I get the exact same PDF file that I viewed the first time.

The only thing I can think of is there is some sort of delay.  Because if I 
just leave it alone, wait a couple minutes and then go view another page, I 
finally get the new PDF.  And, if I just leave the screen on the new PDF that I 
wanted to view, after awhile it just appears.

A cache isn't clearing in between views and it is holding that old image.

That is what I think is going on anyway.

Thanks for your help!

You're welcome!
OK, I configured Chrome back to normal (I had disabled the built-in PDF viewer 
in favor of downloading and viewing in Acrobat).  Browsers are going through a 
transition period where old plug-ins and Active-X will no longer be supported.
Going to different search result pages (as indicated below) can work, but only 
if you have multiple pages (more than 25 search results).
In playing with both Chrome and Firefox and the built-in viewers, the same 
option worked.  After viewing a resulting PDF, click on the "Show Previews" 
button.  It will then toggle to "Show Document" and the search results are 
displayed.  It is a toggle.  Also, if you want to look at a previously viewed 
PDF, select the "PDFs" option to scroll through or select a previously viewed 
PDF.
See the attached picture for the highlighted options.
Good luck,
Bill

I use IrfanView. Many good features like:
- add text through paint palette (interface could be better)
- paste left, right, top, bottom (great for adding pages together on one image 
rather than multi-page TIFF or PDF. 
- Reduces color palette and down sample (make images smaller)
- Lossless rotate (does not reduce jpg quality when rotating)
- Create multi-page TIFFs and PDFs

Been using it for years for work with modern records!

You are correct on the bull fights; they were all over. A taxi driver provided

Thanks Joao!  Hope all is well.  To add to your comments
The Portuguese side of the ATMs may not charge, but I did get charged on 
withdrawals from non-credit union banks (Banco Espírito Santo is my example).  
As to the extra functionality, you are correct, I was unable to charge my phone 
at the ATM and needed to go to a store.  Which is a good point concerning the 
phones.  If you do get a Portuguese SIM, it can be charged at the original 
store or you can go to many stores advertising the service.  You will want to 
keep your packaging with the SIM number on it for easy reference when charging.
Concerning the planes, my basic message is to take the delays with patience.  
We flew in and out of Terceira and had delays both ways.  Many of the seasoned 
travelers simply accepted the delay as a part of flying with SATA.  The delay 
on departure from the Azores was due to mechanical difficulties with the plane 
and they had to contract for another plane from Atlas Air.  It was a much 
larger plane and made the trip from Terceira to Oakland without the Toronto 
fueling stop.  We enjoyed the flight much more and got to spend almost two more 
days on Terceira.  Oh, we were able to see the bull fight in Altares with the 
extra time.  One of the unplanned highlights of our trip was working with the 
taxi driver to figure out where the event was (way out in the country) and then 
enjoying all of the people in the mountains with a view of Graciosa in the 
background.  So, things can work out even with the delays.  Just set 
expectations appropriately.  Here is a description of Altares if you happen to

Just to complement on what Bill said.
In Portugal, because all the banks were Government owned in the 1980s when ATMs 
started to show up, they decided to create a separate company to run the ATM 
network. As a result, all the ATM machines in Portugal belong to this network, 
so the concept of "charging for widthdrawals" is simply alien to the 
Portuguese. There's no such thing, period. As a side-effect, these machines are 
also the best ATMs I've ever found in the world (yes, the average ATM in the 
deep Azores will probably be a lot better than the one from your US bank in the 
midst of SIlicon Valley). However, you'll probably not notice it, as all the 
advanced features require a Portuguese bank card. Foreign cards will probaly 
allow you to widthraw money and maybe charge your phones (and also maybe to buy 
train tickets - I highly doubt it will allow you to buy concert tickets). I 
highly advise against AMEX. Don't bother bringing one if you're coming to 
Europe. Make sure your card is Visa or Mastercard and you should be OK with our 
ATMs and in-store payment terminals.
As to SATA, the delays are really not their fault. Those are islands in the 
middle of the North Atlantic, if the winds go above a certain level, for your 
safety and theirs, they will simply not take off. Have some flexibility in your 
plans, and make sure that you make it to the island of your US return flight a 
few days in advance. Flying to and from Terceira is easier as the runway there 
is one of the largest in the Azores (it was designated as a Space Shuttle abort 
landing site), but do account for possible delays in your São Jorge / Pico 
connections.

Lisa,
I took my first trip to the Azores last year in July.  We went to Graciosa 
(home island) and Terceira.  Here are some of my tips:
Finances:Get a credit card that does not charge foreign exchange fees.  One 
that has a chip is also advisable.  I got the Chase Saphire VISA and have been 
happy with it ever since.  We did not use travelers checks and I would not 
recommend them.  Also, do not buy "Euro" loaded VISA cards (pre-paid VISA).  I

agriculture credit unions on Terceira and Graciosa which did not charge for 
withdrawals.  Your bank or credit union may be able to help with ATMs which you 
could utilize without charge.
Phone:We got our iPhones unlocked by Verizon.  With them being unlocked and 
enrolled for global usage, we could use them in the Azores.  This would, 
however, be expensive.  We ensured data was turned off (cellular data off).  
Upon arriving, we went to a Vodafone store in Angra.  We were able to buy a 
pre-paid SIM card and put it into one of our iPhones.  This gave us a phone in 
the Azores with a local number from which we could call a taxi (we had our 
favorite drivers) and relatives.  In many cases, you can call someone and hang 
up after one ring and they will call you back.  This worked very well in 
Terceira.
Accommodations:We used Home Away to book a great house on Terceira.  It was 
only 70 euros a night.  Here is a link to the house ( 
http://www.homeaway.com/vacation-rental/p1309665?flspusage=fl ).  It was a 
great location out in the "country" in Porto Martin.  Not the center of 
activity, but we liked the quiet and access to the water.
Sata:Schedules are simply concepts of when a plane might arrive or depart.  Be 
flexible and be sure to contact Sata directly checking for delays.  The web 
site and phone can give quite different results.  We were delayed on arrival 
and missed a connecting flight.  We were then delayed by more than a day on 
departure.  It all worked out, but staying flexible is key.
Hope this helps!

Hello, I am planning my first trip to the Azores in mid to late August for 
about 8-10 days.  I am planning to go to Terceira for research and to visit the 
ancestral homelands on Sao Jorge (Calheta and Topo areas) and Pico (Lajes do

drivers to hire, renting a scooter, not to be missed sights or events, research 
tips, using the archives, wifi connection, cell phone tips, use of travelers 
cheques vs credit cards, gifts to take with me and recommended items to bring

Not knowing your version of Windows, my guess is that the person who set up 
your computer set the default system fonts to a larger size. On older programs, 
this changes the amount of information and buttons that can fit in specific 
screen areas. The settings are generally in the control panel for screen

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translating a document

2015-01-10 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Al,
I generally use http://google.translate.com , but occasionally use 
http://www.bing.com/translator/ when Google doesn't make sense.  They all work 
differently and have individual strengths and weaknesses.  Choose one as your 
"standard" just to get used to the functionality, but use the others when you 
need a few data points to help with your understanding of the translated text.
Babblefish is still around (http://www.babelfish.com/), but I haven't used it 
in years.  This one allows file translations in addition to online:  
http://www.freetranslation.com/ .  Haven't used it myself.
Also, I've found the Google Chrome browser to be very handy for translations.  
Simply visit a web site (like CCA) and Chrome will offer to translate the page 
(right hand side of the address bar).  Very handy when browsing around 
Portuguese web sites.

Bill,

I've seen that name before.  Don't know the translation.  Maybe something like 
Violet?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Graciosa Baptism - Name of Mother

2015-01-03 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Happy New Year everyone.  I've been working on the US side for a while, but am 
back to crawling the CCA images again.
I read the referenced record (No. 47, lower right), as Antonio Correia de Melo 
son of Antonio Correia de Melo, Senior and Violente Augusta Solidade.  I am 
having a lot of trouble thinking "Violente" is the correct first name of the 
mother.  Is this the correct transcription?  If so, has anyone seen this name 
before?

Thank you!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Tree Maker FTM 16 Problem

2014-11-12 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Dear "E",
I know I've shared my back-up strategy before.  I'm sure many will see this as 
extreme, but I've worked with computers for over 20 years in records management 
and I am very cautious.
First, even with diversified destinations (cloud, hard drive, USB, DVD, etc.), 
you will want at least two different methods of backup.  I have seen many 
programs getting upgraded/patched and either not actually backing up files or, 
believe it or not, scrambling the content (encryption gone very bad!)
As for myself:
Mozy:  cloud based backup
SyncBack Free to:  32GB SDHC card  32GB USB Flash drive (periodically)  500GB 
USB Fire/Waterproof hard drive (sentrysafe)  8TB NAS Drive (RAID5)  3TB USB 
Hard Drive
Program (application):  FTM to NAS  Quicken to NAS
Nero Burning ROM:  Gold layer DVD
Now this is overkill for most people, but I have had problems before to teach 
me to be very protective.
One last note, it is also easy to lose track of backups (especially with the 
number I keep).  Be sure to use encryption on your backups to keep them 
private.  Just don't lose the passwords!
Regards,
Bill

the all the family files I originally had and the really BIG and most IMPORTANT 
one.  I have lost the last 2 1/2 years of what I put on FTM16 on my Windows 7 
computer.  I had a backup but for some reason that got erased when we were 
trying to figure out what was wrong with Windows 7.  Unfortunately we had the 
backup plugged in when we were doing this and it erased everything on the disk. 
 Note to self:  NEVER do this again!! I do have all the previous 8 years of 
entries on my old Windows XP computer which we put on a memory stick and have 
been trying reinstall on my Windows 7 computer ; it looks like FTM is 
installed??? but it only shows this one file which only has 5 names on it!! 
Any other ideas anyone??
Thank you.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker FTM 16 Problem

2014-11-05 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

"E",
The compatibility mode should be used for installation.  The setup files (if on 
CD) will need to be copied to your hard drive before you can change the 
properties as instructed below.  You might also select to run as administrator 
(another checkbox) just to make sure things go smoothly (fewer prompts for 
permission).
Run the installation program in compatibility mode:1. Right-click the 
installation file's icon.2. Click Properties > Compatibility .3. Select the 
compatibility mode for Windows XP.4. Click OK .5. Run the installation program.
After it's installed, run the program in Windows XP compatibility mode by doing 
the same with the installed program (right-click on the shortcut for FTM).
Hopefully you've already solved this.

they were written for Win 98. When I installed it to my computer with Win7 
there is an option called Compatibility mode which makes your computer act as

I just had to select the correct one. You need to open the properties on FTM 16

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Trip Assistance

2014-10-14 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Knowing someone on the island is a big help!
Just went to Terceira and Graciosa in July. My Aunt went before me and my 
mother after.  I have some quick tips!

The travel agent was near useless. Got all birth dates wrong, names wrong and 
the sex of my son wrong. We found this the day before after insisting on trying 
to check in the day before the flight. Took a while for US on the phone to 
Lisbon to correct. Skip the travel agent. Book on SATA and use AirBNB to find a 
place. We stayed in a nice house across the street from the ocean in Porto 
Martin. Quite nice house with 2 rooms, full kitchen and huge yard for 70 euros 
a night. 

We got the Berlitz pocket guide and CD. Also used phone based translators. I 
was able to get a SIM for my iPhone at Vodafone in Angra. I have Verizon and 
called to have it unlocked before leaving. I then gave the SIM to my mom for 
her Galaxy S5. Worked great!

I have more tips and need to write something up  Let me know if you have 
specific questions. Oh, I also got a phone book for all of the islands. I've 
scanned in by island. Let me know if you want it and I can send directly. 

Regards,

Bill

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Joao de Conde and Maria ?? - Sao Mateus, Graciosa

2014-09-24 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Lee and Eliseu,

Many of my Conde family is from Guadalupe, but some originated in Luz.  The 
closest I have is a João de Sousa do Conde, married to Maria Custódia.  I have 
the marriage for their son's marriage (Andre de Sousa do Conde to Rosa 
Ermelinda do Conde.)

Here is the record:

http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-C-1886-1893/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-C-1886-1893_item1/P73.html


I haven't gone further back, but looking at the dates, it just doesn't match up 
to your João and Maria

I haven't found a home for this João yet, but I have him in my personal index.  
Two Conde children died in the same year, one 9 years and the other 8 months 
(both in the month of November of 1861).  Their maternal grandfather is a João 
Jose do Conde, but his wife is Roza de Mello Pacheco.  Here is the first record 
if you are interested.

http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-O-1860-1868/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-O-1860-1868_item1/P20.html


Good luck!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Assistance with first name; Graciosa Vasconcellos Baptism

2014-09-08 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Thank you!  A much better name ;-)

BTW, I just found the baptism for my 2 x great grandmother Constancia 
(http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1832-1841/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1832-1841_item1/P160.html)
 and she was born on Graciosa.  Thank you for all of your help!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Assistance with first name; Graciosa Vasconcellos Baptism

2014-09-08 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Please see original record here:
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1832-1841/GRA-SC-GUADALUPE-B-1832-1841_item1/P162.html


(second record on left)

I believe the first name is "Horinda", but I am not at all positive.  I've 
created a study of the name (attached).  The first line of the graphic is the 
original name in context.  The second line is several variations on the first 
name.  The third line is another version of the name in the same record 
(Horinda de Cunha de Mello Pacheco?).

This appears to be another branch of my Vasconcellos line on Graciosa.

Thank you!

I did include the link to the original record in the first e-mail.  Did it not

Thank you!  I guess being of Jesus is better than Brazil.

So, if I get no indication from her marriage or obituary records on Graciosa, 
I'll have to check in Salvador somehow  Do you think it's possible that 
their might be something in the Azores records for her birth even if she was 
born in Brazil?  Probably my next step.

Thanks again!

The record is here:

Constância Emília do Conde & Fransisco Espínola de Melo are my great great 
grandparents.  I am trying to determine if she was born in Brasil (likely 
Bahia, Salvador).  


First thing I've noticed is that her last name in the record appears to be 
Coracao where I expect to see Conde.  Her father is Teodósio José do Conde so I 
know I have the right person.  Right after Constância Emília do Coracao I can 
see what appears to be "de IEFZ..."  Could this be an abbreviation or 
indication that she was born in Brazil?  I have included a crop of the specific 
section that has had some color correction and tuning that may help with 
reading this particular section.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sam,

It's a personal preference. I turn it on for all images. If you have another 
program you prefer to open when you double click on a file, then don't 
associate with IrfanView. You can always select later in the option dialog in 
IrfanView.

I use IrfanView. Been around for many many years. Opens and saves just about 
any format. Has rotation and a nifty feature to paste left, right, top, bottom. 
Great to add the back sides of pictures or pages of records into one image. 
Also supports multi-page TIFF and JPEG. Get the plugins to create PDFs and do 
OCR in Portuguese  The advanced things like OCR, take some playing with to

Highly recommended (over turning your monitor upside down ;-)

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] GRACIOSA - list of marriages

2014-07-21 Thread &#x27;Bill Boyd' via Azores Genealogy

Eliseu,

Thank you for this list!  I have to imagine with all of the "Conde" and 
"Vasconcellos" from Graciosa that we are related at some point  

I was on Graciosa and Terceira for the first two weeks of July.  It was great 
to visit Graciosa.  Of course, with an island the size of Graciosa, the odds of 
running into a cousin is very high.  We took the first taxi at the stand at the 
airport and the driver turned out to be a second cousin!  As I am Portuguese 
language challenged, it was great to hear perfect English (he moved back to 
Graciosa from Massachusetts some 17 years ago.)  

Visiting the archives in Angra and getting to meet (the other) Joao Ventura was 
also an extra treat!  A cousin from a line via Brazil to Switzerland (Conde 
line) also made the trip to Graciosa.

Great encouragement to spend more time on my Portuguese half, especially with 
Graciosa available on the CCA site now!

Obrigado,

Bill

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Copyright and the Copy Machine

2014-02-08 Thread Bill Boyd

I agree that the interpretation is far too strict. For what we copy and for our 
use in genealogy, most should not have issues. 

Having said this, we could run afoul depending on how the material is used and 
its impact on the copyright owner's ability to make money from their work. An 
example might be copying a several key pages of a book and posting to 
Ancestry.com where ancestry "sells" access to the pages through their pay wall. 
While the original use for scholarly work may fit the fair use doctrine ( 
http://www.copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html
),
the fact that Ancestry is profiting might be an issue. Number of pages or 
amount is not always a measure used. 

Also keep in mind that the "container" of the information makes a difference. 
Taking names and dates is factual information and, depending on circumstances, 
should not have a copyright issue. Copying book images has a much higher 
potential to run afoul of copyright law than using the raw information. 

Here is another great article on copyright in today's Wall Street Journal.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Trip to the Azores

2014-01-25 Thread Bill Boyd

Sorry for a bit off-topic post, but I am planning a trip to the Azores and 
could use some advice.

We've spoken to a couple different travel agents and are getting inconsistent 
messages on the dates of festas on the islands.  Being from Graciosa, we want 
to spend a good amount of time there.  A festa on Graciosa would be ideal.  As 
I have school age children, we are planning for the summer in either late June 
or July.  The head back to school in early August so staying into August is 
unlikely.  One travel agent is saying that the Espirito Santa is July 11-12-13 
on Sao Miguel.  However, when I research on the web, I can't find any reference 
to the Espirito Santa being on Sao Miguel.  A cousin told my mother that there 
is a Graciosa Fest on July 26-27th, but again, I can't find anything 
referencing anything on Graciosa during that time period.  What I see on the 
web is Espirito Santa happening seven weeks after Easter.  Nothing is 
correlating with these dates.

We are looking to fly from California (Bay Area, most likely) and go to either 
Terceira or Sao Miguel.  From there we would fly to Graciosa (depending on the 
timing of travel/festa, we would stay on the first island for some time and 
then go to Graciosa or jump immediately to Graciosa and spend some time on the 
arrival island before heading back to the States.)

Specific questions:
* What are specific dates of Festas in late June or all of July on Graciosa, 
Sao Miguel or Terceira?
* If you were going to spend time on either island (Sao Miguel or Terceira), 
which would you recommend?

Thank you!

Bill

I do all of what you request. I can extract specific individuals, groups are

Everyone has their own tastes in reports though. I use accented characters

Great find!  Yes, if the record has an image associated with it, then story 
view can allow viewing of the image.  The index data, however, is not visible.  
Still, it is something.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker

2014-01-20 Thread Bill Boyd

Pam,

Yes, it comes and goes.  For a time, recently, I could view my ancestry sourced 
records.  I thought, "wow, they are finally getting a clue!".  Then, about two 
weeks ago, it stopped working again.  They are very inconsistent.  If I pay to 
access records, they should remain open to me through their interface.

The one that really gets me is that they charge for access to member posted 
content.  I recently found the probate records for my great great grandfather 
(he died intestate).  This has been key since we have no other records 
indicating his death.  The final settlement includes all living children and 
the children of those that had already passed (if they had heirs).  A real boon 
for researchers!  In any case, the records came from FamilySearch and were 
free.  They were NOT indexed and it took me a while of cross referencing to 
find them (I'm still missing one inventory, but that's another story).  So, I 
post this to Ancestry.com.  Anybody who wants to add these records MUST be a 
paying subscriber.  In effect, Ancestry is reselling my work.  My results will 
show up in searches for "William Hardin Hickman", but they must pay to see my 
translation and attach the record.  This really burns me!  Not only do I not 
get access to other records, but I
 must pay to collaborate with other researchers on Ancestry.  Makes me mad 
enough to take my tree private!  I really need to find an easy way to post my 
full tree, with records, for public consumption.

Sorry, I get a bit hot about Ancestry.com even though I'm a user.

2014-01-20 Thread Bill Boyd

I use both Ancestry and Family Tree Maker. Cheri is correct for the overall, 
but there are some things to be aware of:

* The sync doesn't get everything on ancestry. For example, all of the data 
associated with documents and headstones does not come down to FTM. If I have 
text in the translation field on ancestry, it never appears in FTM. 

* Things change more frequently in the cloud (Ancestry). They are very 
regularly trying new things. Some things disappear completely. For example, I 
spent a lot of time tagging faces in pictures only to have the feature, and 
data, disappear. Better to just describe in notes. 

* They are constantly breaking the sync feature. This generally corrupts the 
FTM file. I don't mind as much since my "master" is always the cloud copy. 

* As Cheri states, I like "owning" the data. Should Ancestry disappear or 
crash, I can continue (with diminished data). Also, I periodically let my 
subscription expire and turn to free services. It forces me to look elsewhere 
for a time. I find newspapers and browsing images on familysearch very 
worthwhile. 

* This is a big one!  If you don't have a subscription with Ancestry, they will 
not let you view records you have ALREADY attached. This bugs me to no end!  
They will, however, continue to sell your pictures and records to only 
subscribers. So, the sync with FTM gives you access to your Ancestry records 
when not subscribed. 

* Try the different Ancestry access points (web, iPhone, Android) every now and 
then. They often screw up security on upgrades and provide free record access 
for a time.  Also, the iPhone (right now) allows individual record purchases 
for $1.99. Not cheap, butter better than paying for a month for 1 or 2 records. 

* Some records are FREE no matter you subscription status. No, Ancestry does 
not make it obvious which records!  Anything from the 1940 census, find a 
grave, billion graves, and many others, are always free. You'll have to develop 
a list. If you select a premium record, just back up from the prompt to 
subscribe. 

Good luck!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Tree Maker 2014

2013-09-26 Thread Bill Boyd

Pam,

I have upgraded. The big difference is a tree view like the online ancestry.com 
site. I was hoping the improved tree sync would now also get more detailed 
media information. Unfortunately, it does not. Document transcripts, for 
example, do not come down to FTM. 

Quite honestly, I'm not convinced it is worthwhile. Perhaps I'll find 
something, but after a week I'm not sure. Is there something you really want in 
the new version?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] San Francisco, California Online records

2013-06-11 Thread Bill Boyd

David,

When you do an ancestry search, narrow the collection on the left hand side. 
You'll have to keep narrowing. I've found great stuff this way. It gets lost in 
all of the census and other information. The Daily Review had an article on me 
being bit by a dog and needing rabies shots. Cool to find!  Although, I could 
have done without the stomach shots

For Fremont you may want to also look in the Tri-Valley Herald. Not sure if it 
is on Ancestry, but that is where my family would also advertise for Fremont 
rentals.

Joao Ventura, the Genealogist, was able to get Graciosa records for me prior to

Joao did great!  He provided the record image along with the Portuguese

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Sad Computer Story

2013-01-11 Thread Bill Boyd

This may sound extreme, but perhaps my backup plan can provide some ideas. I 
back up to multiple devices on multiple schedules to ensure I can recover. Not 
all work reliably. My 4tb RAID 5 NAS is awaiting a replacement unit now. Truth 
is, every computer component will fail at some point.  The key is to have 
enough redundancy so that no one failure takes you down completely. 

1. 2 TB WD My Book (USB)
2. 4 TB iOmega NAS (raid 5)
3. 32GB SD flash. Just leave in SD slot in computer. 
4. 32GB waterproof USB. I take this with me when traveling. Plugged in before 
trips to get the latest. 
5. 300GB SentrySafe (water/fire resistant) USB drive
6. Mozy cloud backup
7. Once a year gold DVD's

A backup program backs up and encrypts to all devices except the last three. I 
use program backups for FTM and Quicken to the SentrySafe and Mozy does its own 
thing. 

It may seem extreme, but I live in the flood planes in Sacramento. I've had 
drives go bad and backup programs scramble data. Storage is cheap. 

Oh, if you are going to leave a device in a car, remember two things:
1. Most devices aren't made for the extreme temperatures in cars. 
2. Encryption is important since your car or its contents may get stolen. 

I would go with a relative. I have made copies of the DVD's and kept them at my 
mother-in-law's house, but I've been bad at this lately.

John,

Funny, yes, I believe that happened in my family also.  Two brothers married 
two sisters, then one of the sons married a first cousin (at least it was the 
daughter of a different sister!)  Better stop before the family name gets a 
reputation ;-)

Hmm, wonder if it is a Vasconcellos thing?  My grandparents are first cousins 
from Graciosa. Their mothers are sisters. We always said they had to "pay off" 
the church to get married  Oh, and my grandfather went back to Graciosa 
from the USA to get married after his first wife died.  Small island not the 
factor in this case. 

Well, the topic of offspring intelligence is interesting, but I'll reserve 
judgement as I would not be impartial ;-)

2012-07-05 Thread Bill Boyd

Ancestry is prepay (in general) so simply cancel after your payment and it will 
keep going until the period is done. I've done this myself. 

Oh, and you can still update your tree once cancelled, but you lose the ability 
to see previously added records!  That's why I sync with FTM. All media is 
downloaded and I control locally.

Makes perfect sense. The way SSN is given today, they are one in the same so I 
made the leap, not even thinking that social security wasn't even around for 
many births even if they did receive benefits.

Yep. I just this morning found my grandfather in the 1940 in Oklahoma on 
FamilySearch. Not on Ancestry yet. Although, when on Ancestry I'll get to 
correct a transcription error. One reason older census searches are better on 
Ancestry.

Oh, I also asked Joao for some help and got excellent results. A great add-on 
birthday gift for my mother.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Uploading Gedcom question

2012-05-03 Thread Bill Boyd

Karen,

Ancestry.com allows for alternative names. You just need to decide on the 
primary one to show in the tree. My grandfather's name is William da Silva 
Vasconcellos in Graciosa. When he arrived Silva became everyone's middle name. 
My grandfather then married a Silva and changed last name to Sylvia (his mother 
did not approve of the marriage). She passed away and he married my grandmother 
(Bettencourt) and changed his name back to Vasconcellos. Of course, I've also 
seen "Vasconcelos" (one L). So, I have all names in ancestry with the primary 
being the name he had in the US for most of his life. 

Just go to the detail view for the person and click the little icon to the 
right of the name. Oh, it doesn't show up in FTM or the iPhone app, but it's 
there!

Regards,

Bill Boyd (Sent from my phone)
