Yes, Pam I have found at least 3 distant cousins and advanced my research
farther back than before. It takes  work on both sides sometimes to find the
connection, but when it happens, it is so worth it.

Hi Sandy,

 

I know what you mean about wanting to ask questions when it is too late.  Have 
done that many times myself.  

 

As far as Maria Augusta goes, Augusta is her middle name.  You probably already 
know that during periods of Azorean history, most women only listed their given 
and middle names; not their surname as we would.  What a trick to play on us 
when we want to find them.  Her actual family name Goncalves.  I have a list of 
all her siblings and Bernard is not among them.  Her mother was Maria 
Clementina  and as far as found, no Augustas among them.  So sorry to not be a 
bigger help.  

 

Happy hunting,

Karen

Hi Karen,

 

My grandparents also attended St. Anthony's church, now on the corner of 
Cambridge Street and Cardinal Mederois ( Way or Street). The original old 
wooden church was across on that street a little further down. My dad and his 
brothers and sisters went there as well. 

My grandmother was Deolinda (Augusta) Souza and was born in 1882, also from 
Angra, Terceira. I was wondering if you had any more information about your 
grandmother who's last name was Augusta. I have been trying so hard to find out 
how many brothers and sisters she had and there names. I know she had a brother 
Joseph and a brother Bernard. My Dad is now 86 (soon to be 87 next month) and 
was the baby of 8 kids in his family and the last older brother he has left has 
dementia, sadly. My dad doesn't remember any family history to tell of. I was 
only 12 when my grandmother died in 1972 and back then I didn't have the bright 
idea of asking her about her family and growing up in the Azores. She spoke 
mostly Portuguese so I never really had a conversation by myself with her. My 
aunt would translate. But I loved her just the same and now want to know all 
about her (when it's too late!). Just wondering if there might be a connection 
I could work with! 

Thanks! 

Sandy

Hi Adair,

 

I know what it's like to search with not results, really frustrating.  I can
tell you right off though that Jennie is not a name I have in my database.
I am assuming you don't know where in the Azores they came from as this
would help greatly.  Without a location, I can only say that I do not have
any Silvas named Jennie or Soloman and none of the Silvas I know settled in
Rhode Island.  My Silvas all came to Cambridge, MA and then my grandfather
moved on to Visalia, California.  

 

So sorry I can't be of more help.

I am looking for the church that my grandparents likely attended when they
lived in Cambridge from 1921 to about 1924. I'm guessing it was probably
East Cambridge, as that was where many other ethnic groups first settled.

My grandparents, Joe Machado Silva (1894) and Maria Augusta Silva (1897)
came from Angra, Terceira to the area in May of 1921.  Joe had several
brothers and sisters that lived in Cambridge.  I do not have an address.
Their first born child, Paul L. Silva was born there.  I know that because I
found him on the Massachusetts birth Index on Ancestry.com.  I have the
book, volume and page and I am requesting a copy.  I would like to also get
the church record.  Paul only lived a few months and died in 1922 (again I
found him on the Massachusetts Death index and have requested the civil
record).  Knowing where he was baptized and buried would be great.  My
grandparents left Cambridge for California in 1924 so it must have been so
hard to leave their first born there.

Karen, this is a tough read for a baptism. The margin appears to be at least in 
part in Latin. It mentions an impediment and there was an exorcism. The 
narrative starts as you say: Miguel son of Manuel Machado Gomes and his wife 
Maria Vieira, natives, residents, and parishioners of Ribeira Seca, parish of 
the Apostle Sao Tiago, Villa de Calheta, Sao George island, born on the 
twenty-eighth day of the month of September in the year one thousand seven 
hundred and nine, refuted in exorcisms in this parish church by me, Antao 
Homem, Vicar. Afterwards baptized at home on the thirty-first day of the 
current month and year. Godmother was Anna Machado, wife of Amaro Lopes de 
Sousa, son of those exorcised, also Manuel Ares, son of Antonio Vieira. All 
natives and residents of this place and parish. I date and sign with the 
witnesses present Padre Gonsalo Pedro Machado and Joam de Mattos da Sylveira, 
day month and year. [signed: Vicar Antao Homen; Padre Gonsalo Pedro Machado;

A "bulla" in latin means "ball/bola" it initially referred to Papal emitted
documents "sealed with a ball/bulla of wax".  Over time it took other forms.
Sealed Papal decrees of the church were called bulla's.   

 

There was also a famous (bulla) where the Pope issued a bulla to allow
eating meat on Friday's during Lent, for a fee.

At that time, before getting married, the authorities in town would make the
event public that we call in portuguese PREGOES (plural for pregao) and
during that pregao, the authorities would investigate data from the couple
specialy to find out if there were any biological ties among the couple. If
any found, they would need the church authorization to get married. Some
special case the pope would issue a bulla allowing or not the couple to get
married. These bulas, happened most of the times among kings and queens that
usualy got married to their uncles, cousings, nephews in order to keep the

Assunto: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Rois/Confessados for Terceira

 

A "bulla" in latin means "ball/bola" it initially referred to Papal emitted
documents "sealed with a ball/bulla of wax".  Over time it took other forms.
Sealed Papal decrees of the church were called bulla's.   

 

There was also a famous (bulla) where the Pope issued a bulla to allow
eating meat on Friday's during Lent, for a fee.

column if the individual had made first confession, communion, if they could
read and write and then there is a column labeled "Bulla?"  I think.  It may
not be important at all but I just was curious what it meant.  In the later

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Acadians in the Azores

2012-07-24 Thread Karen Hillman 
Margaret,

Good point.  I had someone else tell me that Portuguese fisherman were all
over the waters around  Ireland, England and Scotland in the 1600-1700s and
may have married and brought European brides home to the Azores.  I guess
that accounts for my uncle’s YDNA being predominantly Irish.

The Portuguese were the first to arrive at Eastern Canada.  Newfoundland
original name was Terra Nova and Labrador's original was Terras de Lavrador.
The early settlers arrived in Canada by ship in Nova Scotia. Also In Nova
Scotia there's a small town called Potuguese Cove or Portugal Cove due to
many of the cod fisherman living there through the Summer months during Cod
fish season, with many staying and not returning to the Azores or Portugal.

I think Horta on Faial is the closest port.  Either that or Angra on
Terceira.  Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel is definitely the furthest port from
Sao Jorge island.  I would guess the port closest to home would be where an
ancestor would leave.  But if they had to leave soon, they may have gone to
any port to get out the soonest.  I've seen a few Sao Jorge people leaving
from Sao Miguel, but the vast majority are from Sao Miguel and Santa Maria
islands.

Sorry, I think I'm going to have to disagree with that statement.

You'll find 3 ports in the Azores: Ponta Delgada (Sao Miguel), Angra (on
Terceira), and Horta (on Faial - Fayal is the old spelling).  People
reported to one of the ports to register that they were leaving.  These
records are what make up the "passaportes."  The books stayed at those ports
and are now housed in their respective archive. (The dates are pretty
continuous too, so the books could not have gone to another island to
register people there).

Now some people may have had to leave sooner than the boat that was leaving
their home port.  So they could have gone to any port.  I research the Ponta
Delgada on Sao Miguel the most.  Sure, I have seen other people from other
islands leaving from Ponta Delgada. They probably could not wait for the
boat that sailed from their home port.  However, the vast majority of people
using Ponta Delgada came from Sao Miguel and Santa Maria islands.  However,
when Hawaii needed people, they sailed from the port of Ponta Delgada only.
So if your people came to Hawaii, they had to use the Ponta Delgada port if
they were Azorean.

Mary,

I had the same thing happen to me at a Catholic church in Visalia when I was
doing a survey of Church Records for a class I was taking.  I was allowed to
only see my daughters (1977) record.  However, when I asked the person
helping me about other records, I was told that anything after 1930 was at
the parish and restricted but older records were archived in the Diocese
office and were available. You just had to request from them. You might
check to see if that works where you are.  I agree with Cheri, making a
donation can never hurt.

I know in MA and RI one is 90 years and the other state is 100 years to see

my best sweet talking, saying that I do realize that they need to be
assisting their living parishioners, however, I would greatly appreciate
their assistance and I will make a donation to their church, which I do
promptly.  

As for a parish policy, I bet someone didn't want to be bothered.  You may
