[AZORES-Genealogy] More From Eastman's Newsletter Article
***My Comments- Please see the fourth paragraph and think long and hard before you give any DNA samples to anyone. They can not prove your ancestry. End of My Comments*** The folllowing is a Direct paste from Dick Eastman's Genealogy Newsletter Article received yesterday- According to news reports, a half million consumers have purchased genetic ancestry tests, which are sold by more than two dozen personal genomics companies with names such as "Roots for Real," "23andMe" and "DNA Tribes." Typically, the test taker swipes the saliva inside his or her cheek and sends the swab to the lab. The DNA is extracted and compared to samples from a reference database of haplotypes (sets of inherited, linked genetic markers) to see if there's a match. Different tests use different methods. For example, mitochondrial DNA tests trace the mother's lineage, while Y-chromosome tests track paternal ancestry. But because these tests only trace one bloodline, they exclude most ancestors. Moreover, they cannot pinpoint where these ancestors lived. Another option is AncestryByDNA, a genealogy test that relies on markers that show genetic differences between what are assumed to be four biologically distinct populations: Africans, Europeans, East Asians and Native Americans. But some groups that don't fit neatly into these categories, such as South Asians and Middle Easterners, have received test results identifying them as Native Americans, for example, according to researchers. Also critical to resolve, according to the article, are the ethical issues concerning the collection and use of DNA samples. For example, members of the Havasupai Tribe in Arizona allege that researchers from Arizona State University and the University of Arizona collected 400 blood samples from tribal members for diabetes research. But, according to news reports, those same samples were also used for unauthorized research on schizophrenia, inbreeding, and population migration, which stigmatize tribe members. The Arizona Court of Appeals ruled late last year that the Havasupai tribe can sue the Arizona Board of Regents, which is seeking to settle the case. "It is a scientific imperative that we enact enforceable policies that determine what constitutes responsible and accountable collection and secondary use of DNA samples," the article says. In addition to Lee and TallBear, coauthors of the article are Troy Duster, professor of sociology at UC Berkeley and New York University; Deborah Bolnick, assistant professor of anthropology at the University of Texas; and Pilar Ossorio, associate professor of law and bioethics at the University of Wisconsin Law School. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] BEWARE of DNA TESTING From Dick Eastman's Genealogy Newsletter
Tougher Controls Sought For DNA Ancestry Testing As the popularity of take-home DNA kits to trace ancestry or calculate the risk for serious medical conditions grows, there is an increasingly critical need for federal oversight of "direct-to consumer" genetic testing, as well as of the use of DNA samples for research, according to researchers from the University of California, Berkeley, and several other academic institutions. In the past year, scientists, sociologists and bioethicists, among others, have come to agree that the technology of these direct-to- consumer tests, which run between $100 and $1,000 apiece, is problematic and that the test results can be misleading and lead to problems including skewed ethnic data and questionable membership claims to Native American tribes. But while organizations such as the American Society of Human Genetics have issued guidelines to curb the unintended consequences and misuses of DNA testing, federal agencies need to step in and help shape a "gold standard" in genetic ancestry testing, according to a policy paper published in the July 3 issue of the journal Science and coauthored by researchers from UC Berkeley, Stanford University, the University of Texas, University of Wisconsin and New York University. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: list of Azorean immigrants
We never heard from Joao on this, but I re-read the email to me that reafirmed that immigrants going to and from Azores to Brazil were not required to have a passport for a long period of time. I would have to ask about the years that this was in effect if it is important to someone. They were called clandestines. They were not tracked.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: list of Azorean immigrants
I understand from someone who lives in Brazil, that the Portuguese government did not require a Passport for most of the people going back and forth from the Azores to Brazil, as an incentive for them to go down there to live and work. I too have seen the Passports online but was told that this is a very small fraction of the comings and goings from Azores to Brazil and back, and should not be used as a definitive answer as to whether an ancestor made the journey.

[AZORES-Genealogy] John Correia Obit
(Parents Anton Corrieia was born in Riberihina, Terceira and His wife Francisca (parent a Silveira Machado) was born Ladeira Grande, Terceira) John Correia John Correia was born on August 27, 1927, to Anton and Frances Correia and passed away at the age of 81 on June 6, 2009. John married the lovely Angelina Dolores Banevedes on June 11, 1949 and would have celebrated 60 years of marriage this year. Johnny, as he was known, was easygoing and always had a smile for everyone. He and Dee (Dolores) lived and raised their family in the Kings County area. Johnny worked in agriculture and liked being outdoors. Games of cards with family and friends were one of his favorite ways to visit with loved ones and relax. During his retirement years, Johnny loved to travel to Oregon with Dee, where he fished and enjoyed the scenery while visiting with family. He looked forward to the holidays as he cherished the time spent with his children, grandchildren and great grandchildren all gathered together - not to mention that Dee would let him sneak in a few extra sweets! One of his favorite treats in recent years was a Chalupa, and he would often hit Dee up for one while they were on their outings. Those who knew Johnny best will always remember the ever-present twinkle in his eye, his low chuckles of amusement, and his cat-like grin - there even in the face of adversity. He will be dearly missed. In addition to his parents, John was preceded in death by one son Arthur; four brothers, Tony, Joaquin, Arnold, and Frank Correia; and three sisters, Mary Box, Frances Toste, and Gertrude Silva. He is survived by his wife, Angelina Dolores; four sons, John Michael Correia (Kristie), Clarence (wife Janet), Eugene (wife Sandy); two daughters, Olinda Dias (husband Manuel) and Gloria Correia, two sisters, Dolores Amarantes and Lina Mendes; 11 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren. He is further survived be many nephews, nieces, and a great many friends. Services are being held at the residence of Eugene and Sandy Correia, 2074 Peralta Way.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Immigrant Ancestor Project
The LDS Church has the Immigrant Ancestor Project online, but work has been stopped on the Portuguese part of it for a variety of reasons. I just heard back that: There is new software to be installed hopefully this summer that will allow a better search of the approx 27,000 to 28,000 Portuguese records the Church has already. In the meantime, if you go to immigrants.byu.edu then click on Search- that takes you to a search screen -then if you leave all spaces blank except for Place and choose "Freguesia" in the drop down menu, click the search button, it brings up about 7800 passports from Portugal to other places. Lots are to Brasil. This may be a help to a few of you. I have not worked with this search screen enough to have had success with other parts of it. If I hear anything more, I will let you know.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Cemeteries of Stanislaus County
On FamilySearch.org there is a 33,000 + stash of books, family histories, etc. I am just starting to look at it but came across Cemeteries of Stanislaus County. This is the Newman area of California along the I-5 Highway corridor which includes Los Banos, Crows Landing, some people who may have lived going toward Watsonville and San Jose. Anyway there are over 200 pages listing the people buried in the Hills Ferry Cemetery from 1871 to 2007. It sometimes lists the Island in the Azores the deceased is from. It should be available for complete download, but I have not figured that out yet. Again, this has been digitized by the local genealogical society of Modesto, and put on line by the LDS Church. It seems that many if not most of the listings are Portuguese. So go to www.familysearch.org At the top of the page on the left is a drop down menu, with Search Records at the top. When it drops down, select Historical Books. When the search screen comes up, copy this: Cemeteries of Stanislaus Countyand paste in the title section for the book, then click on search. The book comes up, allowing you to select a range of letters of the alphabet, and is a ledger with name, some birth dates, death date, location of grave and a comments section that sometimes mentions the place of birth or a family member name. You can search within the book with the menu at the top of the book page, but I have not done much of that yet. I have found a family member here and hope that you may, too. Did not fully search the rest of the database, no time as yet. Char --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Under the Category of No Stone Left Unturned: San Mateo County Genealogical Society
In checking out my Azores ancestors, I came across instances of some of them living in San Mateo County, after moving to California. I found on the San Mateo County Genealogical Society Web Site, some indexes of births, marriages, and deaths, as well as collections of articles or some mention of Portuguese names and want to share. While there are not as many Portuguese as I expected, there are some in the databases and the search is easy to do, all in English. While the checking is free, if you want a copy of an article there is a charge, but is around five dollars. If you are fortunate enough to find someone in the death index, it is online free, but there are few of those.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: GeoCities web sites will be closing
That Yahoo is doing this is no surprise. When Google started out its GMail and Groups, there was a long article in Time Magazine in which they stated that they would not taint these relationships by addding advertising. Now GMail has advertising all over, plus it is given over to advertisers so we are targeted with the ads based on the content of our email that we create and receive. So I am interested to see what they do with Groups and Gmail. All along it appears that the "free" service is meant to be revenue producing. They denied, denied, that there would ever be a charge for their email or hosting groups, but we shall see.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Immigrants Who Married, once Arriving in US
One of the sons of my relative was disabled. He got around with crutches but was a hard worker. There is a photo of him sitting on the ground shearing his sheep. A couple of brothers came to this area to start farms. They brought their parents over, but for some reason, their sister could not get the necessary papers and permission to come to the United States. So the brothers met this disabled man (the son of my ancestor), asked him if he would go back to the Azores and marry this woman so that she could come to California, too. He agreed, knowing it was to be an arranged marriage, just to get her here to California. When the woman and this disabled man met, they fell in love and did not want to have just a civil wedding, they wanted to marry in the Church. Her parents were very upset thinking that their daughter would have no future. That he could not support her. They married anyway, and she followed him not long after he came back to the United States. They had a happy marriage for about five years, producing two children. Unnfortunately he had a heart attack and died near the the fifth year of the marriage. It all worked out, as she moved to the Southern California area to be with her parents. Not long after that, her sister died leaving her children with their father. The widow and the widower got together two years later, married, and had a long marriage that all said was very happy. They then had one child in common. I think our ancestors made do with what was available and married whoever asked for the most part. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Census Search
List Members, I am looking at this as a possible help for a relative I have not found and wanted to share the resource with the list. Age Search Service The Census Bureau provides an "age search" service to the public: We will search the confidential records from the Federal population censuses of 1910 to 2000 and issue an official transcript of the results (for a congressionally mandated fee). NOTE: Information can be released only to the named person, his/her heirs, or legal representatives. Individuals can use these transcripts, which may contain information on a person’s age, sex, race, State or country of birth, and relationship to the householder, as evidence to qualify for social security and other retirement benefits, in making passport applications, to prove relationship in settling estates, in genealogy research, etc., or to satisfy other situations where a birth or other certificate may be needed but is not available. Age Search Fact SheetFEE REQUIRED: $65 for a search of one census for one person only. Personal checks and money orders accepted. No credit cards. YEARS SEARCHED: 1910 through 2000. ACCESS:Census records with individual names are not on computer. They are on microfilm, arranged according to the address at the time of the census. Most agencies require the earliest census after the date of birth. REQUIRED: A completed BC-600 Application [PDF 142k] (Solicitud Para Busqueda De Registros Censales [PDF 156k]) for Search of Census Records, signed by the person for whom the search is to be conducted. This person may authorize the results to be sent to another person/agency by also completing item 3 of the application. Minor children - Information regarding a child who has not yet reached the legal age of 18 may be obtained by written request of either parent or guardian. A guardian must provide a copy of the court order naming them as such. Mentally incompetent persons - Information regarding these persons may be obtained upon the written request of the legal representative, supported by a copy of the court order naming such legal representation. Deceased persons - the application must be signed by (1) a blood relative in the immediate family (parent, child, brother, sister, grandparent), (2) the surviving wife or husband, (3) the administrator or executor of the estate, or (4) a beneficiary by will or insurance. IN ALL CASES INVOLVING DECEASED PERSONS, a copy of the death certificate MUST be provided and the relationship to the deceased MUST be stated on the application. Legal representatives MUST also furnish a copy of the court order naming such legal representatives, and beneficiaries MUST furnish legal evidence of such beneficiary evidence. RESULTS: An official census transcript will list the person’s name, relationship to household head, age at the time of the census, and state of birth. Citizenship will be provided if the person was foreign born. Single items of data such as occupation for Black Lung cases can be provided upon request. If a person is not found, a form will be sent with that information. Additional data on the same person (Full Schedule) - The full schedule is the complete one line entry of personal data recorded for that individual ONLY. This will be furnished in addition to the regular transcript. There is an additional charge of $10.00 for each full schedule. They are not available for 1970, 1980, 1990 and 2000.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Follow up to: Children Who May have Been Indentured When Coming to the United States
>From the Book Azores: Nine Islands, One History; page 326, footnote # 18, says: Arquivo dos Acores, II: 170. The above is the resource used to document the story about someone from Ribeira Grande receiving 4,000 reis along with articles of clothing from the Ribeira Grande Town Hall to take care of an abandoned baby for one year. So if some one were to research this, they would have to go back to this original source to read who the child may have been and maybe get some insight as to how to get the "Nannie Registry" There is no listing of this resource in the bibliography of the book to indicate anything more about the sources. I think you would have to contact the author to see where she got her original documentation. Maybe the entry for this original source for the Bibliography was left out? In this same section of the book, it states that "During some years, the number of abandoned children was extremely high, as happened in 1858, when the total surpassed 1,000 babies." Not sure about what is meant here, is 1,000 for all the Islands combined? The translation may have presented a difficulty to preserve the original information intact . The next page states that "more than 70% (of the babies) ended up dying". Then it gives the reasons in addition to being abandoned. So if ancestors were leaving the islands during this time period, one can easily see what an enormous pressure people must have felt to go elsewhere no matter the cost, to survive.

A big guess: If these "Nannie Registries" still exist, it might have some information as to what names were given to children and where they went? So to start, would someone check with a certain part of the government records of the Island of origin? Anyone have any ideas?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: "arrives in MA as a 12-yr-old to be an indentured-servant for a family in Boston"
Delores, I sent some info to the list that I read in the book Azores: Nine Islands. It stated that children (during certain years of the Azores history) who could not be cared for by their mothers were given over to nannies (paid by the government) who cared for them until age 7 years then they were sold to be indentured servants until age 18 or 21 years. It did not sound as though there were lots of children in this circumstance as the book said a very high percentage of the children died before age 7 years. The mothers must have been sick with grief to have to give them up, then to have them die, because there was not enough food on the islands. I was told by a German researcher that there were periods of famine where villages in Germany knew that they could only support so many people with the food that they had. And there was no food to buy. So the villages would gather what money they could and buy passage for as many people as possible to send them elsewhere, often to the United States, so that they would have a chance at living rather than so many starving to death.

Ginny first showed me that the 1900 baptismos on CCA included other years. Once I knew that I was able to do the search, find my record and do a first go at translating. Wish I had listened more, and better, to my relatives when they came to visit and spoke Portuguese.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Rodas
In the book, Azores, Nine Islands, it talks about Rodas or Casas da Roda, where a baby could be left anonymously, much as we now have "safe houses" in the United States, when someone gives up a baby. It states that most municipalities in the second half of the 19th century had these places. The baby was then raised by a nannie to age 7 years, paid by the government. Having a registry of nannies was begun during the 16th century. Does anyone know of this custom? Did the registries record the babies somehow, or were they just keeping track of the nannies? If the babies were anonymous, that meant they weren't baptised or given names? The book says that the total surpassed 1,000 babies (probably a total of all the municipalities, though it does not say) that were cared for in this way in 1858. In 1879 this strategy was abandoned and the mothers were paid to keep and care for the children. After this, there were many fewer babies abandoned. That must have been such a terrible situation for families, no wonder they left the Islands. That is a lot of children to not be accounted for, so I wonder if there was some record or if anyone knows.

If for some reason they did sell out, there should be more available as Dennis Borges wants to use it as his text book in one of his classes. I would not worry about getting a copy.

While I was with him, a teacher who had gone on a tour of the Islands with him and some other teachers, picked up two of the books, one for herself and one for a sister. So the others became promised between the time I left home and when I got there. That should not be a problem for anyone on the list, as I talked with Deolinda at UC Berkeley and she is very happy to provide books per the order from that she sent me.

I will talk with him more about making the copies he has available first come first served. NO PROMISE ON THESE AS YET. I am guessing that it would be $20 plus shipping and insurance, maybe add another five dollars to the $20. This is a GUESS as I have never done this before but want to help. I will talk with Dennis more as we were both in a hurry. I will try to get one copy and post online the table of contents and the index if people say via the list they want to see that. I had asked people to respond to my private email and maybe there is confusion about doing that, so Cheri I hope that it is okay about peole just sending to the list if they are not sure how to email me privately. If you want one copy or more, let me know how many copies you want. Or if you want to wait to see the info from the book, that is fine. If I get the copies Dennis has, it will be first come, first served to who has already emailed me, with one book only to the first responders I have already received. It does not seem to be a problem to get one, so do not be concerned it you were not among the first five. I have no idea when UC Berkeley will have copies as Dennis was not sure. Again, I know nothing about this book and am doing this as a help to the list. I do not live in Tulare and it is a hike from where I live. I WILL BE GONE ALL DAY BUT WILL CHECK THE LIST LATER TODAY ABOUT 5 PM PACIFIC TIME. Char --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] New Book--Azores: Nine Islands, One History
List, I have not been able to reach Dennis Borges. I will try tomorrow at his school to see if I can talk with him. Whoever is interested in the book please email me Privately-Not On the List. If I talk with Dennis, I can tell him how many books are wanted and try to find how to obtain them. I did a search on Amazon.com and came up with "not available". The book is being sold in the Azores, I saw that online. I tried U. C. Berkeley Bookstore as that is part of the hosting of this book presentation, but it is not offered. The bookstore does have an Azores Map and two travel books for the Azores. If interested, http://www.bkstr.com/Home/10001-10433-1?demoKey=d or if the link does not work, Google: U. C. Berkeley Bookstore. I know nothing about the book, Azores: Nine Islands, One History. I volunteered to get in touch with Dennis Borges, so that is what I will do if I can.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Death Certificate
List members, When my grandparents traveled to Terceira in 1919, my mother's 5 year old brother was bit by a dog with rabies and died. She was 8 years old. She remembered (she is deceased now) all the happenings around his death, but did not know the disposition of his body. Two or three months ago, I wrote to someone in the Azores (I think it was by sending an email to an Azores Volunteer on a Web site somewhere), and received an email from a government worker in Angra. She said that the record is in the: "registo civil de Angra do Heroismo. But may I can help you, we've here a indicates of terms parochial after 1911, anda I found in august 20 of 1920, in freguesia da Conceição, Angra do Heroísmo, obituary nº 503, of the book 1." And that I must contact the "conservatoria do registo civil de Angra do Heroismo". In this situation, this kind person wrote back that she had searched it for me and found the record. Now, I would like a copy of the record, so how do I accomplish that task? Also, would there be any markings on a grave, or what would have been done with the death of a child? Additional question: Those of you who have visited Terceira- how are these government offices set up? How does someone get a response? Once I emailed Joao Ventura and he assisted me. I don't understand how the different agencies there are organized and what the functions are. Maybe my method of asking for assistance is not what they need to be able to provide the service? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this. Charlene --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
