And I think we determined that Nicolau does not belong to Matheus and 
Jozefa.  The father of Nicolau is Matias, not Matheus, and the mother 
is another Jozefa.  I believe that in the thread above, you said that the 
Nicolau descends from another family member.

HI.  I’ve posted this a few times already, but I think it keeps getting 
lost in the thread:  I found Joam!   
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-VF-SAOMIGUEL-B-1743-1750/SMG-VF-SAOMIGUEL-B-1743-1750_item1/P139.html

On Wednesday, March 26, 2014 11:28:53 AM UTC-4, Dano wrote:

 Actually, you shouldn't discount the 1751 record, Joseph. Not only does it 
 mention Matheus da Costa  Josefa Pacheco, several of the experts that 
 posted to this thread agreed that the child's name was most likely Nicolau; 
 the birth also falls into the birth cycle of this couple (every 2 to 3 
 years); and, there is a Nicolau a couple of generations later, by one of 
 the descendants of this same couple. Therefore, there are several reasons 
 to accept the premise that the birth record was that of that person. Now, 
 there is a way to disprove the theory - plenty of time has elapsed since 
 his birth, just look for his marriage, or, death record :)  

 Second: I'm still trying to find Joam - his marriage record didn't add any 
 additional clues - other than he was, indeed, the son of Matheus and 
 Josefa. Another problem is that we're running out of time for birthing w/ 
 this couple (20 yrs), there's only about 4 more yrs. Joam was definitely 
 born in Vila Franca, and, although, the marriage record says that he was 
 native to Arcanjo Sao Miguel, some of Josefa's family were members of Sao 
 Pedro - that may indicate that Mateus and Josefa may have lived in that 
 part of VFdC for a time. What with the name variations, and, the different 
 residences, there was a lot going on w/ this couple...

 Part III: Regarding the new data on the earlier chidren, I'm in the 
 process of transitioning to a new computer system, and, some of my old 
 workhorse software isn't recognized with the new stuff. Normally, I would 
 just send a gedcom to a email address, However, that would require that 
 there is a Genealogy Program that can accept that data. If you have a 
 genealogy software program that accepts that gedcom, most do), I can send 
 you a gedcom via email. Sorry for length of this posting.

 Anyway check this record which lists Matheus da Costa and spouse Josepha

  Note that both parents (Matheus and Josefa) were dead at the time of this 
 wedding:

JR,  what program do you use to document your information?  I like how it 
organizes the information.  Right now, I only use ancestry.com to document 
my pedigree..

On Sunday, March 23, 2014 12:46:10 PM UTC-4, JR wrote:

 I am getting confused. No doubt, this is Matheus son of someone named 
 Costa. However there are others, not to mention that Mateus may fetch his 
 name from a grandparent with the name Costa.

 Do I have this right, is your Mateus and Josefa married circa 1750? If so, 
 this Matheus of 1705 is not likely your ancestor. There are about four to 
 six marriages missing in Ponta Garca, all circa 1745-1751, more or less. 
 There is no doubt they are missing because other records specify that these 
 people were married in PG. They include mine and some of Cheri Melo and 
 Shirley A. I think your missing ancestors *may* be among the missing 
 marriages. On the other hand, I reread the baptism of Andre and notice that 
 Josefa is native of VFSM, so that makes it likely they married in her vila 
 of VFSM. By the way, Canto is name that is hard to come by. There are only 
 a few that I know of. Most turn out to be Couto.

 This is what I have. There may be some errors, as they were very difficult 
 to read with a small reader at the LDS. But they can be easily fixed now. 
 Here are children of said couple:

  

 *Descendants of Matheus da Costa*

  

  

 *Generation No. 1*

  

 *1.*  MATHEUS DA1 COSTA was born Abt. 1725 in Ponta Garca- NS da Piedade,

 Francisca..  Both the bride and groom are using different surnames.  He, 
 Correia and she Rezendes.   It is very bad to read but you will be able to 
 see clearly Josefa Francisca NOTE the surname used is de Rezende  fa de 
 Antonio Jacome Raposo.  Here's the link:

 Do I have this right, is your Mateus and Josefa married circa 1750? If 
 so, this Matheus of 1705 is not likely your ancestor. There are about four 
 to six marriages missing in Ponta Garca, all circa 1745-1751, more or less. 
 There is no doubt they are missing because other records specify that these 
 people were married in PG. They include mine and some of Cheri Melo and 
 Shirley A. I think your missing ancestors *may* be among the missing 
 marriages. On the other hand, I reread the baptism of Andre and notice that 
 Josefa is native of VFSM, so that makes it likely they married in her vila 
 of VFSM. By the way, Canto is name that is hard to come by. There are only 
 a few that I know of. Most turn out to be Couto.

 This is what I have. There may be some errors, as they were very

2014-03-23 Thread Joseph Costa
Hi JR.  I don't know when my Mateus and Josefa were married.   That is the 
problem. I think you may be correct in that the marriage record is missing, 
because I have searched all of Ponta Garca and VFSM (knowing that Josefa was 
born there. I don't believe it is the one that you found. 

My Josefa (Josefa da Pacheca or Pachequa) was born in Apr 1714 in VFSM (I have 
her birth record posted below) and died in May 1788 in VFSM (I have her death 
record posted below).  

My Matheus was born in 1705 in Ponta Garca -- I have his birth record posted 
below.  He died in 1773 in VFSM -- I have have his birth record posted below, 
which states the name of his parents (Antonio da Costa and Barbara da Costa).

I know that both Matheus and Josefa died before their son Joam (my 4th great 
grandfather) was married in July 1788.  His marriage record to Luzia do 
Espirito Santo states that both of his parents were deceased at the time.

Thank you Doug.  I do see what you mean, and I now think that this does say 
Niculao, which means that this is not my ancestor.  Still can't find my 
Joam.

 Hello Joseph,
 
 I couldn't resist your challenge.
 
 What is clear is the ao ending. That leaves one with a lot fewer choices 
 for names.
 Expanding on that, it is pretty clear there is an l before the al and 
 that now gives you lao and once you see that, you can see the u before 
 the l and before the u you see a large C and there is nothing left to 
 choose but Niculao and I am going with that.
 
 Moving over to the parents, the father is Mathias, not Matheus. So it's 
 Matias da Costa and Josefa. But her second name is maybe Parobo and I don't 
 recognize that as a real name. So for another reason, you must find another 
 example from another child and hope it's more clear.
 
 As for Isabella's comment about legitimo I looked over the following 
 baptisms from this priest and he isn't using that word on any of them. But 
 what is lacking in your record is the phrase e de sua mulher (and of his 
 wife) which is not in all the records, but in many of them. The ones where 
 that phrase is lacking might mean those couples are not married, but there 
 are so many that I doubt it. You would have to study all these couples and 
 find or not find their marriages to see whether this priest is simply not 
 consistent.
 
 You will see on page 0026 the baptism of a child named Agostinho and the 
 father is another Niculao.
 
 Good luck!

 I don't read neither Joam, nor legitimate. This is a very decorative  
 penmanship and needs further study on this specific handwriting. I quiclkly 
 went back and forth on some pages to check on the scriber writing and the way 
 he writes Joam is very different from that one, the word legitimate as well

 I have sometimes seen a father listed as Mathias one time and Matheus 
 another time. So if your ancestor was Mateus, you can't 100% rule out you 
 could find him as Matias, but it will depend on further research.
 
 Do you think this is simply the wrong ancestors and not a sibling of your

 I assume you know Joam and Joao are the same name.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with Names on Birth Record

Thanks Pam.  I suppose it's possible that he is one of my great 
grandfathers, Matheus da Costa,  which is how the name appears on the 
marriage record of his son Joam da Costa.  Was it common for a boy to take 
a surname given by his mother?   Matheus' wife was Josefa Pacheco (in some 
records it's Pachequa or Pacheca).  She was born in 1714.  I'm trying to 
find their marriage record so that  I can verify the names of Matheus'

 it says that Francisco was 25 and Maria de Jesus was 18.   This would mean 
 that he would have been born around 1791.   I searched through all of the 
 Matriz birth records from 1786 through 1799 and I couldn’t find him.  I 
 also looked in Sao Pedro.  Will keep hunting..

 Hi Joseph,

 Antonio born to Manuel da Costa and Filomena Augusta da Conceicao which 
 leads me to believe this may be your couple.  Does the surname Feitor

 I did not find their marriage record under Costa or Feitor.  It is 
 possible the bride may have been from a different place where the marriage 
 took place.  Did find Manuel's parents marriage record I in 1816.

 In the period between about 1860 forward, grandparents were listed in

 Hi everyone.

 I'm loving the new indices that Matriz, VFDC uploaded for births, 
 marriages and deaths!

 Along those lines, I've been searching for the marriage record of my 
 2nd great grandparents, Manuel da Costa and Filomena da Conceicao (also 
 known as Filomena Augusta).  According to the birth record of their son 
 Jose (first born of that name) from December 1864 at Matriz VFDC, the two 
 of them were natives of Matriz and were married there (it says that).  I 
 also have the birth records of their twin daughters, Maria and Jacinta 
 from 
 1869.  

 I have searched high and low  for their marriage record at Matriz 
 before the indices came out.  Now that the indices have been uploaded 
 their 
 marriage doesn't appear in it at all for any year.  There is a Manuel da 
 Costa and Filomena da Conceicao in the 1890's, but it can't be them.   I 
 also searched Sao Pedro.no luck there either.

 Any thoughts on how I should approach this?  Is it possible that it was 
 just a civil ceremony?  Wouldn't that have been frowned upon back then?

 I don't know if you've already tried this, but Try looking for Manoel Jose 
 the groom with Filomena as the bride.

2014-03-13 Thread Joseph Costa
Thank you!  This is very helpful!  I will poast the birth record links. 
 Yes, Feitor is a name that I have often seen attached to my Costa name, 
presumably to distinguish us from other Costas, as it is such a common 
name.  If I'm not mistaken, it means foreman.  Maybe someone along the 
way was a foreman?

 Hi Joseph,

 The information you entered was very limited, it would be nice if you 
 could post the 1864 and the 1869 birth record links.  However I took a peak 
 at the indices and did find a birth record for a child by the name of 
 Antonio born to Manuel da Costa and Filomena Augusta da Conceicao which 
 leads me to believe this may be your couple.  Does the surname Feitor 
 mean anything to you?

 I did not find their marriage record under Costa or Feitor.  It is 
 possible the bride may have been from a different place where the marriage 
 took place.  Did find Manuel's parents marriage record I in 1816.

 Hi everyone.

 I'm loving the new indices that Matriz, VFDC uploaded for births, 
 marriages and deaths!

 Along those lines, I've been searching for the marriage record of my 2nd 
 great grandparents, Manuel da Costa and Filomena da Conceicao (also known 
 as Filomena Augusta).  According to the birth record of their son Jose 
 (first born of that name) from December 1864 at Matriz VFDC, the two of 
 them were natives of Matriz and were married there (it says that).  I also 
 have the birth records of their twin daughters, Maria and Jacinta from 
 1869.  

 I have searched high and low  for their marriage record at Matriz before 
 the indices came out.  Now that the indices have been uploaded their 
 marriage doesn't appear in it at all for any year.  There is a Manuel da 
 Costa and Filomena da Conceicao in the 1890's, but it can't be them.   I 
 also searched Sao Pedro.no luck there either.

 Any thoughts on how I should approach this?  Is it possible that it was 
 just a civil ceremony?  Wouldn't that have been frowned upon back then?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Maia

2014-03-03 Thread Joseph Costa
Ok.  hoping someone can point me in the right direction.  On my dad's side 
of the family, my 2nd great grandfather, Francisco de Medeiros (a native of 
SM, Vila Franco do Campo) married Maria Jose, a native of Maia, Portugal.   
She was born in approximately 1842.   I have the names of her parents from 
their marriage certificate. They were married in SM, VFDC.  Anyone know how 
I can initiate a search for her birth record from Maia?  Is there an online 
database similar to the Azores database?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Sousa (Batata) family -- Vila Franca do Campo

2011-01-19 Thread Joseph Costa
Hi all.

I am new to this group, although I've been doing geneaolgy research on
my family for about 20 years now, on and off.  I'm starting up again.
Specifically,

I've begun research the Sousa Batata family from Vila Franca do Campo,
Sao Miguel.  I'm wondering if anyone else has this name in their tree.

My grandfather was Jayme de Sousa Batata (1884 - 1950).  He immigrated
to Plymouth, MA in 1907.

My great grandfather was Jose De Sousa Batata (1844 -1914).  He also
immigrated to Plymouth, MA.  He was a stone cutter (cabouqueiro).

My 2nd great grandfather was Francisco de Sousa Batata, and his father
was Henrique de Sousa Batata.  I don't have a lot of information on
them.I'm working on it.

If anyone is related or has any information, let me know.

Regards,

Joe Costa
Norfolk, MA
