 Hi all,

 Just had to share my great find while in SLC!
 I have been searching for my Grandmother coming to the USA for 30 years or
 more. She always said she came in through the Port of NY  in Sept 1914 and
 on her Alien Registration Papers she listed that her name as Maria Vieira
 da Silva when she arrived. That is what I've searched for, Maria Vieira da
 Silva coming on that date. Now, the Angra passports have now come online
 and I thought that I would search for EVERY Maria I saw on that list from
 August to the end of Sept 1914 and see what I could see because I've never
 been able to find her on the dates she gave under the name she gave. So,
 when I had time between teaching classes and helping the other researchers,
 I searched. On Thursday, right before lunch, I found her! She came under
 the surname of her mother, Azevedo!! Sure enough, it said Maria d'Azevedo,
 17 years, single from Norte Grande, daughter of Francisco Vieira da Silva
 and Maria d'Azevedo! I'm sure everyone in Basement 1 heard me, I was so
 excited! But the moral of the story for all Portuguese researchers is,
 don't give up on the search and don't believe everything your Grandparents
 said or wrote!! LOL
 From this info I found her on the ship Patria and feel wonderful that I've
 finally found my Va!!

 Maria Roque,

 Well, that's the problem. Don't believe everything you read in the trees
 you find on the Internet, whether they are posted on Ancestry,
 FamilySearch, Geni, or what have you.

 When you discover a tree,  you need to be able to retrace that tree
 yourself.  If the tree that you found does not allow you to do that, it's
 not that good of a tree.  It needs to have names, dates, and places.  If
 the names are places are from the Azores, they should be written in proper
 Portuguese.  If things are completely misspelled, the person doesn't know

Francisca dos Anjos, native of Sao Pedro, Ponta Delgada, paternal grandson
of Jose Rodrigues and Antonia de Sousa and maternal of Matias de Melo and
Maria Carvalho. Baptized on the 17th.

24 Oct 1810 ~ In the afternoon, son of Francisco Rodrigues and Francisca
Inacia, natives of Sao Roque, married to Rosa Jacinta, legitimate daughter
of Narciso Jose and Antonia da Trinidade, native of Rosario, Lagoa. Both
are living in Sao Roque.

21 Mar 1864 ~ At 7:00pm in a house in Rua Direita do Pico das Canas a
Gloria, died with all the sacraments. Was a peasant, 74, legitimate son of
Francisco Rodrigues, peasant, and Francisca dos Anjos, all natives of Sao

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Putting our research on Ancestry

[Karen Huffman]

Listers and all,

There are always pros and cons. I am on Ancestry and love it. Do I trust
everything I read? No. If I get info or clues I do my research to verify
it. I have mine out there and have seen people use it and twist it. One of
them is on this list. If they want there tree to be inaccurate, go for it.
I have errors on my on line tree and I know it. What I have on my own hard
drive is accurate. It doesn't get there without being valid. Thanks to
Ancestry my niece's mother (adopted at birth) found me. Long story but she
was given up for adoption by my sister in law and only she and my mother in
law knew where the baby went. As fate took a twist they were both murdered
(yes, murdered) and we thought the baby was gone forever. Thank God for
Ancestry!

Anyone doing their tree for themselves or others must be diligent. Check
and cross checked. I would look forward to Mendocino going forward on their
project. I have a huge branch/limb of family from the Azores that settled
there. I might get further on that line!!

Karen Medeiros-Huffman :)


On Thu, Dec 19, 2013 at 10:16 AM, Cheri Mello gfsche...@gmail.com wrote:

 Marcia said:
 1) Has anything similar happened to you?
 Yes, I sent a branch to a distant relative who put the whole thing on his
 personal web site.  He put the whole 9 yards out there, including the
 living and their birthdates.  I asked him to a least take off the details
 (like the birth date and place) and he just ignored me.  It got copied over
 and over again as the years went on.  More people though knew better than
 to put the details on the Internet, so more and more of that was hidden as
 time went on.  Also, no updates were ever made as discoveries occurred.

 2) Is your work on Ancestry?
 No, it's only in my computer in my genealogy program (which has backups -
 external hard drive, flash/USB drive, cloud), it's up on FTDNA, and up on
 YSearch.

 3) What pros and cons can you think of?
 For putting it on Ancestry?
 Pros: If you allow your collaborators access or editing mode, many people
 can be entering or correcting data.  BUT, if this is something to be
 published, everyone would have to be doing the data entry the SAME way.
 Will everyone adhere to the standard of Mendocino County, California, or
 will some enter it as Mendocino Co, California, or Mendocino County, CA, or
 Mendocino Co, CA, or just Mendocino, CA?  And are they all going to type
 Azores, Acores, or Açôres?

 Pros: If the tree is private, just for collaboration efforts, it might
 work (given my thoughts above).  Ancestry takes the diacritics (accented
 letters) if that is important to the lead researcher.  Ancestry likes to
 drop the county part.  So something like, Los Angeles, California could
 refer to Los Angeles (city) or Los Angeles (county).

 Con:  I just find Ancestry to be limiting.  My genealogy program can do so
 much more.

 Will this tree be deleted after you are done collaborating on it?

 These are just some thoughts that popped into my head.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Never heard from

[Karen Huffman]

Jose I know we've communicated before but I really believe somewhere in our
lines we connect. My great grandfather was Antonio Rodriguez Roque. He had
16 kids with Amelia Ernistina Cabral. All the kids were born in Sao Roque
or Sao Pedro. One of them was Jose Rodriguez Roque born 11 Dec 1897. My
great great grandfather was Jose Rodriguez Roque born 1831. He was married
to Francisca Candida. My great grandmother's father was Antonio deMedeiros
Cabral. Too many coincidences.

If any of those names are familiar to anyone, I'd love to expand my family!
Anybody?

(I'll start a new thread later)

 I had a great uncle named José Rodrigues Roque ( same name as father

 He was born in S. Roque, S. Miguel on February 2, 1898

 Around 1915 at age 17  he disappeared and family never was heard from him

 In Ancestry I find nothing under that name

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] de MEDEIROS and HENRIQUITA (sp ??)

[Karen Huffman]

Betty, my dad is Everett Medeiros born in New Bedford, MA 1933. His dad was
Evaristo Medeiros born 1898 in Sao Miguel, Azores. In my research my dad
spoke of cousins that lived in Cambridge. He can't recall their names or
how they were related. They visited often through the 40's. I'd be
interested to see what you find, if it ties in.

Good luck!!

 Hello,

 One of my husband's relatives passed last week and we attended the wake
 and funeral nearby.   While there, we got to chat with my husband's
 father's cousin - with the MEDEIROS name.He said that he .still.  would
 love to find out if his father had siblings.   And, he wanted to know where
 his grandparents came from.

 They've been researching for maybe 20 yrs., and I've been helping them for
 5 yrs. - as I had time.Because of the events last week, I decided to
 spend some, early-morning time this week doing on-line research.  ..  My
 memory was saying that his grandparents were  Philip MEDEIROS and Maria
 MIRANDA, born 1850's Portugal.   And, they came over in 1889 with 4 young
 children and had 4 more sons while in Cambridge.Their youngest was
 Frank, b1895, and he was the father.

 When I went to the archives of the Lists and Boards at   www.rootsweb.comI 
 was reminded that those were the American names for the couple.   He was
 actually Felix MEDEIROS.And, I was reminded that the couple probably
 married ~1872 as they had children in Azores? from 1874 to 1888.3
 daughters then a son, and then 4 more sons in Cambridge, MA.   They
 migrated in 1889, and seemingly went right to Cambridge.   I think I found
 Felix coming over in May?   1889 last night.(I didn't make note of
 that, yet.)

 The 1900 census had Mrs. Maria MEDEIROS as a widow and had she was living
 with several of her children.So, it was assumed that Felix / Philip
 died in Cambridge between 1895 and 1900.Yesterday I took a chance and
 e-mailed the Cambridge City Clerk -- just asking for the year of death. We
 would have driven there to find out more in person. It must have been a
 quiet day as late afternoon she responded with very important information:

 Oct. 1899
 Feles  DeMardeiras
 Age 50
 Born  St. Michael's, Azores

 I sent the information to my husband's relative last night, and they did
 .. the happy dance !The couple is now getting older and starting to
 have health problems, so can't research as much as they used to.

 .. One note is that those 1900-1920 census records for Massachusetts  had
 more than several  MEDEIROS couples living in Cambridge and Somerville, all
 born in the Azores during the 1850's.So, it wouldn't surprise me to
 find out if Felix / Philip came over with siblings and / or cousins during
 the 1880's.

 Another note is that their 3 daughters all married and had married names,
 JESSE, MACHADO, and SOUZA.   And, 2 of the husbands were barbers.I
 haven't researched those couples, yet. I can't find any information on
 the next sons, Edward and Aruba.In 1900 the youngest sons were Manuel
 and Frank. Last night I found out they had a son, Charles, b1893, who
 might have died as a baby.

 Manuel MEDEIROS moved to Stoughton, MA, married there, and at least stayed
 there for a while.I don't remember if Manny and Charinda (sp?) had
 children. And, my husband's relative doesn't seem to remember his Uncle
 Manny.   But, last night I found out he probably died in 1970 in Middlesex
 Co., MA, so possibly back in Cambridge.

 The youngest, Frank, married Carolina MOURA, and they had 2 sons.They
 lived in Somerville and Cambridge, but both the father and one son died
 young. So, the surviving son knows very little about his grandparents
 and their family.

 By the way, I found one record on-line last night which showed the
 grandmother's maiden name with alternate spellings of  HONDIGUETA or
 HOUDIGUETA.I don't know how long she lived.The relative believes
 some of the family moved to Fall River, MA, and perhaps she moved there.

 Thank you for your time.

 Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)

 (very active on Lists and Boards at   www.rootsweb.com   for 12 yrs.)

 (By the way,  the  MEDEIROS List there needs a new Administrator.I
 don't want to volunteer at this time.)

   I don't think there's any chance of getting a recipe for the Santos,
 but a news article from 1999 stated this:

  a good recipe from the old country. Pia's original recipe is used. The
 linguisa and morcella have never contained preservatives and are made daily
 from fresh corn- fed pork.

   The linguisa-making technique is the same as his great-grandmother's;

the pork is cut, ground and marinated before being stuffed into
 natural casings and smoked with oak for 12 hours in two 8-foot- by-15-foot
 smokers.

  As I remember it, medium ground  red pepper, garlic, red wine vinegar
 were the main flavorings.

  Seems to me some other manufacturers use   black pepper, cinnamon,
 allspice, oregano, sugar, red or white wine.

  Here's an article on the taste differences of Hawaiian linguica type
 sausages
 http://tastyislandhawaii.com/2007/05/13/the-great-portuguese-sausage-shootout/

  I'm working on a family project for the granddaughter of Frank Redondo,
 founder in 1949 of the Redondo Brand. It has been sold to a large Japanese
 company that continues production under that name.

  Here is an article about the taste off between Fernandes Vs Barcelos.
 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/675793

  It seems some of the Hawaiian brands use some beef in theirs.

  My opinion is that producers use pork, spice and smoke in different
 amounts, so the there are more differences in between different makers,
 than between regions. The size of the grind is a factor too.

  Here in California, I expect it to be large chunks of pork shoulder,
 garlic, paprika, vinegar, lightly smoke cured. I rate Goulart's regular the
 best. Silva's , Barcelos, and Fernandes to be avoided for lack of flavor.

 than the Portuguese linguica.  My question - does Hawaiian linguica taste
 different and, if so, how...is it spicer, hotter, milder, the same??  I
 want to buy some next time I go but I do not like real hot foods.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Question- How are last names passed down in Azorean Culture?

[Karen Huffman]

Thank you so much for all that information Tomas! I now believe my family

Karen Medeiros-Huffman


On Tue, Jul 9, 2013 at 2:15 AM, Tomas Leal tomasl...@comcast.net wrote:

 The naming practice is just as confusing to me when I am in the Azores
 among the living as it is in searching documents. I have neighbors I know
 are related to each other with different family names. Some children use
 the father's family name, others use the mother's.

 One factor, I've learned, is the repetition of the same handful of given
 names. Most women have Maria as their first given name, which means most
 women have the same name.  How do you distinguish one from the other? Some
 use a combination of first and second names as in Maria Santo Christo or
 Maria da Paz. Some go entirely by the second name. Many women named
 Maria Conceição go only by Conceição. One family here of four sisters is
 an example. Each one is Maria, though only the first one uses that name
 (Maria da Gloria), the next two (twins) use only their second names, and
 the fourth one goes back and forth between Maria Margarida and just
 Margarida. In her case two different people talking about her to me might
 use different names to refer to her. As for a family name, that can depend
 upon whose land the family now lives on. All four of these sisters use
 their family name, not their husbands' names, primarily because their
 family has been a prominent one for a few generations.

 In the case of my family in Faial, my grandfather's youngest sister
 remained in the house to care for their mother and she remained in the
 house after their mother died. Her last name was Leal, same as everyone
 else in the family. She married the boy next door whose family name was
 Coelho; however, she deemed rabbit an inappropriate name for a woman, so
 she never changed her last name. In turn, both her sons used the name
 Coelho, but she used Leal with her daughter, which she still does, long
 after her marriage to Abreu (another boy next door). Maintaining the Leal
 name ties her with the property and signals everyone how the property has
 passed from generation to generation.

 Another complication is the repetition of the male names José, Manuel,
 Jõao, António, or Carlos. The oldest son quite often gets the same first
 name as his father. I have a neighbor, Manuel Paulino, whose adult son is
 also Manuel. So the two could be told apart, the son uses his mother's
 family name: Manuel Furtado. This is what everyone calls him. In turn, his
 daughters use Paulino as their family name. Thus, their birth certificates
 probably show their parents' last names as different from their own.

 In the nearby town of Santo Amaro, most men and many women use two names:
 António Carlos, José Manuel, Maria de Jesus, Mary Jõao, and so on. Many of
 my neighbors do not even know each other's last name Reason: Many of
 the 294 permanent residents have one of three dominant family names:
 Morais, Neves, or Melo. Some have TWO of those names in their full names.
 Here in my fourth summer, I am still trying to get the names straight, and
 I frequently have to look at my notes to see who is who. It took me two
 summers to determine whether it's António Carlos or Carlos António I call
 for delivery of the gas cannisters. And then I had to spend another summer
 getting straight whether I was to call António Carlos Melo Neves or António
 Carlos Neves Melo! Finally, I have it right.

 Really, getting the names straight among the living is difficult enough;
 searching through old records seems nearly impossible. But as many of us
 have found out, the results are worth the effort!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] leaving the azores

[Karen Huffman]

My grandmother came to the US when she was 4. She traveled with 2 aunts and
an uncle. Her parents were already here. I wish I had asked her way back
when as to why her parents came almost a whole year ahead of her when she
was so young. They all came in through Rhode Island and settled in New
Bedford. Some stayed there for a while. Others left right away for
Mendocino County in California.

 When it comes to women leaving the Azores to come to the USA, is there any
 typical situation that would bring them over? coming with parents? coming
 with husband? would they have traveled over with an older or younger
 brother? Would she have traveled over alone if another family member
 already here?
 I'm trying to find a clue to connect my great aunt Francisca to my great
 grandfather Jose to maybe narrow down some of the search results for
 traveling into the USA

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel Correia Silva

[Karen Huffman]

Leonard I was hoping we had something. My Manuel Correia Silva was born 1
Mar 1894 in Graciosa. He is my gr grandfather's brother (Joao). He married
my gr grandmother's (Maria) sister (Gertrudes). Just another Smith I
guess!!

 I have been working on finding my grandfather's history for about a year
 now.  I have pretty much found everything I can since he arrived in this
 country.  I have located and talked to many cousins who I didn't even know
 existed. When I started this journey, I was not even sure of my
 grandmother's maiden name.

 Now, I come to where I would like to learn more of my heritage.  I lack
 the funds to pursue any professional genealogy help, and I neither speak
 nor read Portuguese.  I am hoping that some here can help me find some
 connection to the old country.  I realize that my grandfather's name,
 Manuel Silva, is like looking for John Smith in the States.

 Here is what I know:

 Manuel Correia Silva, born 16 Nov 1867 at Covas, Graciosa
 His immigration date was 22 Apr 1882 at the age of 15.  I cannot find
 arrival information.  Family lore says he arrived in Boston.  A passport
 application says he arrived on an unnamed schooner.

 His mother was Anna Joaquina, his father either Manuel or Frank, depending
 on which document I look at.

 He married  Anna M Mendonca, also of Covas, Graciosa in 1886 in New
 Bedford.  She was born May 1864.  Her mother is unknown, her father was
 Joseph Mendonca.

 Anna arrived in 1881, I have no records except census.

 Anna Mendonca had a brother Joao da C. Mendonca.  He married Maria
 Victorino b. 1849. They had three natural children; Laurentina b. 1887,
 Philip b. 1890, and Mary M. b. 1899.
 Maria Victorino was widowed sometime before 1908.  My grandfather went to
 Graciosa and returned with Maria and her children that year.

 The first record I have of Manuel is a New Bedford City Directory from
 1883.  He was single, living in a boarding house and was a hair dresser
 (barber).  He was a barber in New Bedford all his life.  Some family
 stories say he learned the trade in Graciosa.

 I don't know if Manuel had any siblings.

 Does any of this connect with anyone here?  Thank you in advance for any
 help.

 Leonard C. Silva

 Are there any Y-DNA matches between people with Azores ancestry yet?

 About the SNPs, I see private ones are uncommon:

 Some Y-DNA subbranch markers, SNPs (single nucleotide 
 polymorphisms)http://www.familytreedna.com/faq/answers.aspx?id=21#782,
 are restricted to a single family that is related in genealogical times (1
 to 15 generations). These are family SNPs or private SNPs. Other SNPs are
 slightly older. They represent paternal lineage groups that predate the
 adoption of a family surname. These are semi-private SNPs. Both private and
 semi-private SNPs are uncommon.

 But I suppose a match certainly doesn't have to be from a private SNP.
 I'm still trying to get a handle on this...

 Are there any others who have this:
 *R1b1a2*Shorthand: *R-M269*

 Nancy Jean already told me E1b1b2a is for Morocco and Berbers I don't
 know the shorthand way to call it.
 My R-M269 is apparently for most of Western Europe.

 Looking at the graph that lists types A through S, it seems that the
 closer you get to A, that's the mythical Adam or ground zero, so the E for
 Berbers are more genetically close to Adam than are letters R, S and T.
 ( just noticed that T comes before S for some reason - a genetic anomaly?
 :-)

 And so my R seems to be one of the most distant or changed/altered DNA
 from the original Adam.

 Does it seem I have that straight?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Ancestory.com...My relative but wrong information posted by someone else!! What do I do?

[Karen Huffman]

Everyone has great comments on this problem. I have had someone contact me
to say we were related and she was very excited. I was knew and trusted.
After reviewing more I saw she had connected my info into her tree. I don't
mind. However, I know my great grandfather did not start having kids at the
age of 9. I contacted her but she swears we are related. I deleted her info
from my tree but I am still in hers. I feel sorry for anyone thinking they
have a hit. I do take the hints and post them to my tree. It may take me
more than a month to get back and verify the info. Meanwhile it may look
like I am trusting it. I just haven't verified it yet. I always reply to
any comments or concerns on my tree. If it was private I would miss all the
input that could help me on a breakthrough. You have to learn to not rely
on others but to always verify once, twice.

 Thanks everyoneYes I did leave a comment back on October 12th. Your
 right...if someone looks up their tree , hopefully they'll see my comment

 Grandfathers picture as their own and there isn't anything I can do about

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] GRACIOSA ancestors

[Karen Huffman]

Hello Eliseu,

I don't have a lot of detail yet. So far this is what I have on this Silva
family.

My great grandfather was *Joao Correia dos Santos* b 1 Nov 1885 in Sao
Mateus, Praia, Graciosa. His siblings all had last names of *Silva* were: *
Manue*l b 1 Mar 1894, *Maria* b 1892, *Virginia* b 1890 and *Carlotta* b
1888. Their mother was *Augusta Margarida Machado* b 16 Feb 1857 in Sao
Mateus, Graciosa. Their father was *Joao Correia da Silva* b 12 Jun 1861 in
Agua d'Alto, Sao Miguel.

My gr grandfather was born on All Saints Day so he got the last name of
Santos.

I am working with Joao Ventura to get more detail.

Karen :)

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Find a Grave

[Karen Huffman]

I too take photos for find a grave. Like Cheri says it does irk a little to
take your own time and gas just to find someone already took the photo.
Cheri I am so glad to know you care about the pix you take. I try and clean
or trim the site before I take the shot. Occasionally i take flowers too. I
have found quite a few relatives in find a grave. I am so thrilled they
will not be forgotten!  Cheri i don't know how you do all that you do.
Thank you!

 I'm waiting for my brother to send me his old digital camera (I still

 the lady requesting the photo (in another city) lived in MY town!   Other
 obits mention family members living right here so I suggest that THEY take
 the photo.   :-)
 - Shirl -

 Gail,

 There is nothing more annoying to volunteers than to go and take a photo
 just to find out the person requesting asked the world and someone else did
 it and wasted the volunteer's time.  Even though I take pictures in larger
 city cemeteries, some are old.  Some are so large that the flat memorial
 tablets are trimmed once every X months.  So I sit and trim away the grass.
  If there's mud (from the lawn being watered), I pull out my collapsible
 bucket and find a spigot and wash it off.  Then I let it dry.  If the light
 is not right, I pull out my umbrella and shade the stone the right way.

 In fairness to the Find A Grave volunteers, you should take down your
 photo request there and wait and see if anyone on this list picks up the
 request or any other you list you may have posted it on.  Find A Grave
 gives the volunteer 2 weeks to fulfill the request after it has been
 claimed.  So you could wait 2 weeks after this posting to see if anyone
 fills it.  And once someone agrees to take your picture, you need to tell
 every list you posted on that the request has been fulfilled so some other
 volunteer does not go out there to take your photo.

 Sorry if this doesn't sound polite.  I've been doing the grave photos for
 a few years now on Find A Grave and have encountered a few people who
 didn't take down the request and I used my gas, time, and energy just to
 find out that the request was fulfilled by someone else.  Hope you
 understand.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Immigrant Ships

[Karen Huffman]

My gr grandfather was *Joao Correia dos Santos* b 1 Nov 1885 in Sao Mateus,
Praia, Graciosa. He married *Maria da Costa* b 30 Sep 1887 in Sao Mateus,
Angra, Terceira. His parents were: *Joao Correia da Silva* b 12 Jun 1861 in
Sao Pedro, Vila Franca do Compo, Sao Miguel and Married *Augusta
Margarida*b 5 Dec 1865. The children I know of is my gr grandfather,
*Carlotta Correia da Silva* (who went to Mendocino, CA) and *Manuel Correia
da Silva* b 1 Mar 1894 on Graciosa. Manuel married *Gertrudes da Costa* b
Mar 1969. Gertrudes was also my gr grandmother's sister. Manuel and
Gertrudes lived in Mendocino and I think Fort Bragg. We visited them when I
was pretty young. Gertrudes and Maria's (my gr grandmother) parents
were: *Jose da Costa* and *Emilia Augusta*. There other children were:
*Virginia,
*M*atthew* (married Adelaide Sues), *Manuel*, *Victorina* (married Manuel
Perry and lived in Santa Clara, CA), *Amelia *b 2 Nov 1898 (married *Herman
Costa Fayal*) lived in Mendocino and *Mary Mission* b 3 Jul 1900 (married
*John Costa Fayal*) lived in Mendocino, CA.

The above is my dad's maternal side.

I found most of this side myself with just a little help from Joao Ventura.
Joao is helping with my dad's paternal side = the mystery people!

We discovered my grandfather Evaristo, was not born a Medeiros but a Roque.
His father was Antonio Rodrigues Roque and his mother was Amelia Ernistina.
Antonio's father was Jose Rodrigues Roque. Without Joao's help I would
still be stuck looking for Medeiros! Amelia Ernestina's father was Antonio
de Medeiros Cabral.

Am I getting closer to making a connection with anyone? YET!!!

Enjoy the journey!
Karen :)

 For those who are newer to Portuguese genealogy, you have many more
 resources now that those of us who started 20 years ago.  Twenty years ago,
 it took me 4 years and 25 documents to find the freguesia (village) on Sao
 Miguel.  All letter writing and phone calls.  No databases on the Internet
 to help.

 The 25th document I asked for was from St. John the Baptist in New
 Bedford.  I had my dad go to the Riverside County (California) courts and
 get his grandma's naturalization paperwork (24th document).  I had him ask
 for any and all paperwork and I got the forms that they had to fill out
 for the 1st and 2nd papers (the process that an immigrant had to go through
 at the time to become a citizen).  On the paperwork, she stated that she
 married in New Bedford, Connecticut.  I double checked to be sure, and
 found there was no New Bedford in Connecticut.  Then I got a phone book
 from New Bedford, Mass (probably a photocopy of the yellow pages for
 Catholic churches) and I got up early one morning in June and started
 calling all of them.  I asked if they were around in 1905 (I did have their
 marriage date).  The 2nd church said yes and put me on hold.  The priest
 went and pulled the marriage book from 1905 and said that they were married
 there.  He said he would make me a certificate and mail it to me, but I
 said I would be in New Bedford in 2 weeks and I would pick it up. (I was
 going to Sao Miguel to search all 70 freguesias for my immigrant
 ancestors.  I was getting pretty desperate!)

 When I got to St. John the Baptist, the priest gave me the little half
 sheet that said he married her, by the priest on the date and the witnesses
 were A  B.  I had heard a lecture (probably Rosemarie Capodicci) that said
 that the Catholic church marriage may have more info in it.  So I started
 pestering the priest (nicely).  I asked why he had a surname on the bride.
 He pulled the book and said that the book did not have her surname on it,
 he just typed that in because when I called I asked for the marriage of
 Manuel Mello and Gloria Correia (although he typed Maria da Gloria Correia
 on the certificate, the book only said Maria da Gloria).  So I'm NOT
 getting an exact copy of what was in that book.  He tries to put away the
 book and I ask if the relationship of the witnesses were mentioned.  He
 looks and says no.  Then the phone rings and he answered it.  So I'm trying
 to read the big marriage book, upside down and it's in Latin (it was fill
 in the blank, so you could kind of tell what's a name and what's not).  The
 priest is getting exasperated with me and closes the book so I can't read
 it and invade the privacy of my ancestors (WHAT?!?!?!?  They're dead, how
 can I invade their privacy???) After he hung up the phone, I start in with
 another question.  He looks at me and told me that he can read me what it
 says, but my eyes aren't allowed to see the book.  He said it was in Latin,
 so he was translating.  Manuel de Mello, a native of Ribeira das
 Tainhas  There it was.  What I had been looking for.  I didn't know
 whether to kick the priest in the shins or to kiss him (I opted for
 neither; I just profusely thanked him and gave him a donation for the
 church).  I wrote the notes on the back of the certificate.  A year or 2
 later, I befriended another priest who was assigned there for a couple of
 years who did genealogy.  The dispensation for their marriage was in the
 side margin in that book and the original priest didn't bother to tell me
 that.

 Mike, because your 1897 marriage is about 8 years before my marriage date
 at the same church, there is a chance that the format may be the same.
 They may have your freguesia.  St John the Baptist is in the processes of
 closing.  I don't know if they are still an active parish or not.  Or if
 they are packing up their books.  The address is 344 County Street, New
 Bedford, MA 02740-4895, phone: 508-992-7727.

 Ask (real nicely) whoever answers the phone if they will make a photocopy
 of the marriage book.  If they say no, ask if they will type up exactly
 what it says in the marriage book (even if it's in Latin), as you need the
 village your ancestors were from.  Tell them you are making a donation to
 their church (and please do it so they continue to do look ups for the rest
 of us genealogists).

 Hi, Karen.

 I recently determined that there are da Silvas in my family from
 Graciosa. My da Silvas were illegitimate children, but the name I have
 for their father was Manuel de Sousa da Silva.  I don't know if we was
 married with another family--haven't gotten that far.  My da Silvas
 were from Luz or Alto do Sul.

 I recommend starting with the folks you know and finding a birth
 record.  The records for Gracios are not yet available on line.  If
 you are having trouble, contact Joao Ventura--reasonably priced and
 very quick.  I was able to add three generations of my family with the
 information he was able to find on birth records.  The birth records
 he found for my da Silva boys (born 1892) included parents names and
 both paternal and maternal grandparents.

 Joao advised me that women didn't typically receive last names during
 this time period.  They had a first name and a middle name with
 religious significance.  It is likely that Margarida is a middle name
 only.  If you find your gr grandfather's birth certificate, you will
 likely find Augusta's parents names.

 Good luck!!

 I just got awesome information from Joao Ventura and now have info on my
 grandfather back to my gr gr gr grandparents!!! The name my grandfather
 used to come over with and used is different than the name he was born
 with. He is naturalized as Evaristo Rodrigues Medeiros. That is also on his
 death certificate. However Joao did some research. His birth and baptism in
 Sao Pedro, Ponta Delgada he is Evaristo Rodrigues ROQUE!!

 I want to upload my GEDCOM but I don't want to use my Ancestry.com tree.
 That tree has other families tied into it. Lots of people not needed for
 this tree. I also have Family Tree Maker. I did not share the info from
 Ancestry to this tree. Will it be enough information if I just input the
 parents, grandparents and so forth without putting in siblings and more
 current/living people? I am curious as to how many people are needed in
 your tree to be able to tie in with other people?

 Another question I have is do I leave my grandfather in my tree with the
 name we knew him as or the one he was born with? All U.S. documents are
 with the name we knew. Does it make sense to just switch it at my gr
 grandfather? His name is Antonio Rodrigues Roque. His father is Jose

  Karen,

 Ancestry.com http://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!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] who's baby

[Karen Huffman]

Another perspective on the plots/graves...My 1st husband died at 25. We had
a 3 year old and I was pregnant with our 2nd. I had every intention of
being buried with him when the time came. 20 years laterI was remarried
and had another child. My 1st husband's family asked me if they could use
the plot/grave because his aunt had died and they didn't have the money to
bury her in the nicer section. I was torn as to what to do. Being a good
catholic the guilt of any decision was eating me. I gave the family the
plot. Still makes me feel funny all these years later. His aunt is buried
with him but it still causes my heart sadness.

Don't look at it as what the heck were they thinking because some things
are done with a heavy heart. Unless you are there in the circumstances, you
just don't know.

Karen :)



On Sun, Apr 22, 2012 at 10:59 AM, celeste perry ccgran...@yahoo.com wrote:

 During the years I extracted the information from books (14 of them) for
 the first Catholic cemetery in Hayward, I ran into a lot of things that did
 not make sense to me.  One was that in some cases families were able to
 purchase a plot with one to several graves.  I have seen copies of the
 deed to the plots and the graves are listed.  That was in one set of
 books.

 Another set of books was the plot books.  I think there were 4 of these
 books.  The plots were listed in the order they were sold and the people
 buried in the plots were listed as to the grave number or in the SW
 corner, etc. of the plot.  The cemetery was begun in 1875 (I believe) and
 still continues to have burials; however, not very many of them.

 The reason I am trying to explaine the possible burial sites of those
 enterred in this cemetery is very different due to several factors.  Each
 priest that was at All Saint may have different ideas as to who could and
 who could not be buried in a purchased plot.  While I was working for 4
 years on this extraction, I met many people who were looking for their
 families and they shared their oral history with me about the burial of
 their families.

 In several cases, the names of those buried in a plot did not match the
 person who had purchased the plot.  I was told that it was a neighbor who
 died and could not afford to purchase a grave.  There were also graves
 purchased by Portuguese Fraternal Societies to bury their members that did
 not have the means to purchase a grave.  There were a large number of
 infants buried in 1918 (I suspect it was the flu epidemic) and in the cases
 where addresses were given for the deceased, whole neighborhoods lost many
 children and elderly people.  Again, several were buried in places where
 the names of the owner of the plot was different from those being buried.

 I am sharing some possible reasons that the plot you think will contain
 your ancestor may or may not have others with different names buried with
 them.  The oral histories shared with me told of many reasons; some were
 godchildren; some were neighbors; some said the priest asked the family to
 bury the person and my personal account of an uncle who died at the age of
 3 months and was buried with the lady who was being buried that day.

 This oral history was from my grandmother (the baby's mother) and she told
 me several times that because she did not have the $5.00 in 1917, he was
 buried with this person she did not even know!  She never forgot that her
 son was with a stranger and that it was the priest's fault.  An
 interesting point for this burial is that they were buried in what was
 called the poor ground for those who could not affort to pay for a
 grave.  In my grandmother's opinion, her son did not get the chance to have
 his own grave.

 When I run into something like a person being buried with people I don't
 recognize, I try to look at it in other ways and not only that the person
 is a relative.

 Michael,

 I have in my family an Uncle and nephew buried in the same plot in Benicia
 CA. The child, my Mom's brother, died when they lived in Benicia(1920's).
 The family then moved to Monterey. My Mom's uncle then died in Benicia
 (1950's) and had no money to bury him so my Mom's father gave the plot to
 his family. Therefore we have an uncle and a nephew buried together, both
 named Souza, in the same plot.

 Rosemarie 

 In my family burial plot at the St. John's Cemetery in New Bedford,
  Ma. there are 2 infant girls buried there. The woman in the office
  said they wouldn't be there if they weren't related by blood. The
  problem is they each have a different last name than what I currently
  know. From the New England Historic genealogic society's site I have
  the following,
  Estrella(Stella) Duarte died April 6th an buried April 8th 1893, F, 4
  months 17

 You are not the only one who is facinated by the Expostos. At the San Jose
 Conf. yesterday there were many questions regarding this topic. Joao
 Ventura said that the children were given to the wet nurses and at age 8
 there would be a choice to be made to either give them up or adopt them
 into the family. The wet nurses were paid by the Camara to raise the
 children but used the money to buy food for their own children first and
 then give to the exposto.

 Regarding the Roda, it was in the door of the Church, I believe, and like
 a Lazy Susan, you put the child on it and turned it into the Church
 (ringing the bell 1st!).

 Rosemarie 

 hanks for your reply, Cheri.  I tried finding a picture of a roda on
  google images, but very strange things came up, like a torture wheel, and
  birth control pills!  Anyway, was the roda on the altar, or was this
  literally something that extended both inside and outside the church,
 like
  a rotary mail slot of sorts?  Of the wet nurses, did they typically
 become
  adoptive parents?
 
  I don't know why the expostos fascinate me so much.  Perhaps it was just
  the shock of seeing so many of them in one year at one freguesia.

I am not sure who to direct this to. At this moment in time I am not sure
if I will be able to make it tomorrow. I have looked forward to this and
been so excited to go and meet you all and learn some new things from Joao
for months. Some may not understand and think it is pretty lame but I have
a golden retriever that should have delivered puppies on Wednesday or
Thursday and still hasn't. She's uncomfortable and been panting for over a
day now and restless. If she doesn't deliver tonight I may be at the vets
tomorrow. I know it is just a dog but she already has puppies spoken for
and anyway we love her to pieces. I hope the scarf ladies can forgive me IF
I don't make it. Fingers crossedand toes!!

Karen :)

(I was also hoping to hire Joao to hunt for some records for me. YES
disappointed does not cover how I feel.)

[Karen Huffman]

Thank you for the reply Rosemarie. I had wanted to meet you too!! I saw
through DNA we are related...distantly. Sooner or later I will get more
info and be able to tie my roots to someone that connects us! It is a shame
that the machine didn't work. He came so far for it not to be in working
order is mind boggling! I hope you all had a good time anyway!!

Karen :)

No puppies yet. :(  Vet said not to worry until tomorrow.

 Karen,

 I'm so sorry that you didn't make it to the Conference in SJ. You would
 have learned much from Joao although not as much as we would have liked.
 They did not have the machine working right for him to use his examples so
 all he was able to do was talk and not show expamples to the audience. It
 was very dissapointing expecially for the beginers that were there. They
 had no way of seeing the documents! Joao, of course, is always full of
 knowledge on just about anything anyone asked. It just was such a shame
 that the AV Dept. couldn't get the machine to connect.

 My gr grandmother was Maria daConceicao daCosta born 30 Sep 1887 on
 Treceira. My grandmother was born in Sao Mattheus so I am thinking her
 mother was too. Her parents were Jose daCosta and Emilia Augusta. Their
 children were Virgina 1889, Matthew 1891, Manuel 1893, Victorina 1894,

 Karen,

 From the mid-1800s through these records (1910/1911), the baptism date is
 on top and the birth is buried (before the mid-1800s, the birth will appear
 first).

 Birth is nasceu.  Look 4 lines down in your baptism and find the name
 Manuel.

 .Manuel e que nasceu nesta fregue-
 zia as seis horas da noite de trinta e um de findo(?) mez e Outubro e anno
 dito de mil oito centos noventa e dois

 I did that line by line for you.  The priest does run some words together
 though (doesn't always pick up his pen).

 ... Manuel and that he was born in this fregue-
 sia at 6 hours of the night of 30 and 1 of (?) the month of October and
 year
 same 1000 800 90 and 2...

 You can look at the 3 other Marias on that page and about 4 or 5 lines
 down see the name of the baby followed by nasceu.  Soon you'll be used to
 that word too.

 Sometimes the priests will write that the baby was born in the same month
 and year (something like dito mes/mez e anno) or they say of the current
 month and year (something like corrente mez/mes e anno).  The native
 speakers will correct my Portuguese writing and spelling.  But current sort
 of looks like corrente.  Kind of close to our English word.  I did the word
 month as mes or mez, depending on the priest's spelling and the time period.

 I am getting better at this already! This is my gr grandmother's brother.
 I found the record myself!! Yipp! I can read the 20th day of November
 1892 church of Sao Mateus do Calheta, Angra do Heroismo, Father is Jose
 daCosta mother is Emilia Augusta residing in Canada do Biscoitiho. Joaquim
 daCosta and Luiza Candida are paternal grandparents and Jose Periera Gil
 and Theodora Joaquina are maternal grandparents.

 How can Jose Periera Gil also be a godparent? Anna deJesus is godmother.
 Can you tell me if it shows Manoel's birthdate? Please tell me what I have
 missed or gotten wrong. I appreciate any assistance.

 I went through 1890, 1891 and 1892 looking for siblings. Siblings are:
 Virgina, Matthew, Victorina, Amelia and Maria. My eyes must be getting
 tired I didn't find them.

 Thank you!! Karen :)

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Matheus daCosta on Treceira (translation please of baptism)

[Karen Huffman]

Thank you so much CHeri!! I will get it promise!! You are making it easier
with the explanation. I did take Spanish YEARS ago so that helps. Just not
when it looks like it all runs together!! I was going to ask if godparents
had to be married to each other. I'm just guessing that it isn't always the
case. Thank you for addressing that for me!

 Hi Karen,

 I think the number words are the hardest part to learn.  Just helping
 people in Salt Lake City, we found that last thing to figure out are the
 numbers.

 Yes, the year in 1890 and it is November.
 Top line:
 Aos = it's a contraction for On the
 deseseis is 16 (10 and 6 and you saw the 10 part).  This is the baptism
 date.

 Line 6:
 manha de nove de corrente mez de Novembro

 morning of 9 of the current month of November.

 Six lines from the bottom:
 Foi padrinho Matheus Pereira Gil, cazado, maritimo, e ma-
 drinha Francisca da Gloria, cazado, de profissao domestica ...

 Foi is past tense for it was (or the Godfather was) but I just say:
 For godfather, Mateus Pereira Gil, married, maritime, and god-
 mother Franisca da Gloria, married, of the profession domestic (which
 means housewife)

 Note:  It doesn't state that the godparents are married to each other, so
 don't assume that they are.

 Keep on rolling,

 Karen,

 6 April 1894 is right.

 Top of the page:  I see quatro for 4, but I don't think the word before is
 vinte for 20.  I think it's half of another word.  I need the previous page
 to be sure.  But quatro does go with it.

 Gods:  Syprianno Luiz da Sylva single,
 vendedor de peixe = seller of fish and madrinha Victorina Augusta,
 single.  House wife is on this line and the next.

 I've got a different Syprianno in my family tree.  I'm not sure of the
 modern spelling, but I think mine is Cyprianno or Cypriano in my genealogy
 program.  The C and S are interchangeable in this name.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Amelia daCosta on Terceira ~ Baptism Translation

[Karen Huffman]

This is another sister of my gr grandmother. I know the parents and
grandparents. I cannot make out the godparents. I thought Amelia was born 2
Nov 1898. This record I am seeing August. Can someone verify the dates for
me please? (Only 1 more sibling to go)!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Maria daConceicao daCosta of Treceira

[Karen Huffman]

My gr grandmother was Maria daConceicao daCosta born 30 Sep 1887 on
Treceira. My grandmother was born in Sao Mattheus so I am thinking her
mother was too. Her parents were Jose daCosta and Emilia Augusta. Their
children were Virgina 1889, Matthew 1891, Manuel 1893, Victorina 1894,
Gertrudes 1896, Amelia 1898 and Mary Mission 1900. Matthew married
Adelaide Sues, Victorina married Manuel Perry, Amelia married Herman Costa
Fayal and Mary Mission married John Costa Fayal. Herman and John were
brothers. If this family rings a bell with anyone I'd love to know!!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Rodrigues-Medeiros maybe Cabral from Sao Pedro Ponta Delgada

[Karen Huffman]

My grandfather was Evaristo Rodrigues Medeiros born 22 Nov 1898 in Sao
Pedro, Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel. His father was Antonio Rodrigues Medeiros
and his mother was Emily Cabral. Supposedly they were well to do. They had
land and housekeepers. After Emily died Antonio married the housekeeper's
daughter which caused a scandal. I have a picture of Antonio and Emily's
family. They had 8 children. We only know of Alfredo who went to Brazil,
Georgina born 22 Oct 1890, Gaudino born about 1895 and married Amelia.
(Gaudino and Amelia's 3 daughters and 1 son went to Canada. 1 son Humberto
is still in Sao Miguel). Alberto was born about 1900 and married Virginia.
We know 2 more brothers Antonio and Tiago. Tiago was killed in the
Portuguese Army when he was about 22. I tried writing Humberto in
Portuguese and English with no response. Do any of these people sound
familiar? I would love information on them!!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Correia dos Santos/Correia do Silva = Graciosa

[Karen Huffman]

My gr grandfather was born 1 Nov 1885 on Graciosa. He was native and
baptised in Sao Matheus, Praia. His father was Joao Correia da Silva and
his mother was Augusta Margarida. I have no dates or villages for them.
Does anyone have daSilva's on Graciosa that may tie into mine? I am
wondering if Margarida is a middle name or her sur name. I don't find any
reference to a sur name for her. I want to locate birth, baptism records.
What should I start with? Suggestions?

He married my gr grandmother Maria da Conceicao who was from Terceira.
Don't know which Island they would have been married on or how they met.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Interesting story with recipes.

[Karen Huffman]

Jacki,
Those are the only items I have ever heard talked about in my family. Kale
Soup, Sopas and the Portuguese Sweet Bread I would really appreciate the
recipes for. I would love to try and make them. The only dish I make is
Popage/Paupage. My grandmother taught me to make it. It is a hot breakfast
type pudding. My grandmother made it for me even in her 80's with bursitis
in her shoulder. (It has a lot of stirring) I make it now on holidays for my
dad and kids.

My e-mail is karen.huffl...@gmail.com
(I hope I am on the right thread and it is appropriate) (let me know)

 that is traditionally served at the Holy Ghost celebrations is also another
 favorite that I enjoy making.

 I think food is a wonderful way to stay in touch with our history. I try
 hard to keep the traditions going. Not just for my Portuguese side but I
 have to say that's the food I enjoy the most. As the generations continue,
 the blood gets thinner and thinner but if the love of the food can keep the
 appreciation of their heritage in their hearts, then it's worth the extra
 time and effort to make it.

Jacki,
Those are the only items I have ever heard talked about in my family. Kale

 that is traditionally served at the Holy Ghost celebrations is also another
 favorite that I enjoy making.

 I think food is a wonderful way to stay in touch with our history. I try
 hard to keep the traditions going. Not just for my Portuguese side but I
 have to say that's the food I enjoy the most. As the generations continue,
 the blood gets thinner and thinner but if the love of the food can keep the
 appreciation of their heritage in their hearts, then it's worth the extra
 time and effort to make it.

 I just made Portuguese Kale Soup the other day.

 I remember having Soupas de Espirito Santo, when we would go to the
 religious feasts in my younger days held in Cambridge, New Bedford, Fall
 River, Ludlow, etc.

 It was a poor man's soup.

Eric, I too verify information I gather from out there. Someone took my

my info public because I am always hoping a distant family member will find

 Keeping the tree private can prevent some of this. Since you control who
 sees the tree, only those you allow in can borrow things. My reason for
 having the tree up is to gather distant family members who are researching,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] My Genealogy Christmas Gift

How exciting Cheri!! Makes me keep looking and hoping. It just takes that

Merry Christmas,

 About 3 weeks ago, a new member joined our list - Altino Demelo.  An
 amusing name, I thought, since I had a photo of a man in a soldier's uniform
 named Altino de Melo.  Altino, the man posting his genealogy question, was
 asking about finding some certificates for his mom's side in Ginetes.  I
 responded how he could obtain them.

 He wrote me back in private, thanking me for my answer.  In the 2nd
 paragraph, he wrote that he would also like to work on his Melo line, from
 Ribeira das Tainhas and Ribeira Quente!  WHAT?!?!?!?!  HEOO, that's
 in my signature line.  Those are the freguesias I research in!!!

 The photo that I have of Altino de Melo is an army photo, probably from the
 1940s.  My dad was in the army in the early 50s and this photo of Altino
 looked older, so I guessed it to be the 1940s and that subject of the
 picture was probably born in the 1920s.  This photo was in my
 great-grandmother's album.  On the back, in Portuguese, it said something
 along the lines of In love and friendship. I wish to know my uncle, aunt,
 and cousins better.  Altino de Melo, A.D., A.D.

 This photo was shared with me in the 1990s.  He had to be a son of one of
 my grandfather's brothers.  According to Sister Hilda Correia, a cousin,
 both of my great-grandfathers sisters who lived to adulthood came to West
 Warwick, Rhode Island, one sister died young (found out later that wasn't
 true), and out of the remaining two brothers, one went to Canada and one
 went to Brazil.  Because the back of the photo was written in Portuguese, I
 figured it was from the brother who went to Brazil.  (One thing about family
 stories - there's usually a grain of truth.  A brother, not a sister, died
 young (age 5), and the DESCENDANTS of one of the brothers went to Brazil and
 Canada).

 Back then, I showed the photo around, trying to get some identification on
 the uniform.  No luck.  I took it with me on one trip to the Azores.  I was
 taken into Vila Franca and up to a house. They knocked on the door, told me
 the man was Altino de Melo.  He looked at the photo and said it was not
 him.  He was an older man, but not quite old enough.  Rats.

 I think it was my 2002 trip.  I went to the archives, knowing that I could
 see the books up to 1900.  I searched Ribeira das Tainhas, looking for every
 Mello, writing them all down.  I found the baptism of the sister who I was
 told had died young - she hadn't.  Her margin had her marriage and death
 info.  She died on Terceira.  I kept looking for more siblings.  In the 1900
 book, I found the birth of my great-grandfather's youngest sibling,
 Antonio.  Antonio was only 3 when his big brother left for America.  He
 never really got to know him.  My great-grandfather never went back for a
 visit sadly.

 Antonio's baptism also had his marriage and death info in the margin.  He
 had married a woman by the name of Senhorinha.  And he died only in 1990, in
 Nordeste.

 Nordeste.  The name literally translates to northeast.  It's on the
 northeast corner of the island.  I am told that one day I must go there and
 get up before dawn to see the sunrise, as it is absolutely beautiful.  Guess
 I should put that on my to do list.  However, I'm not a morning person, but
 perhaps I will one day.

 I don't remember if it was that same trip or the next one.  But I took that
 information from Antonio de Melo's baptism and was going to try to find his
 descendants. He died in 1990.  That was a little over 10 years ago then.  So
 I take my family group sheet and go to the praça where the taxis are.  I ask
 for an English speaking driver.  I ask him to take me to Nordeste to find my
 family.  Ah, Senhora, you must come back tomorrow, before dawn.  I will
 take you to Nordeste.  The sunrise is very beautiful.  Come back tomorrow.
 On to the next praça and the next taxi stand.  I ask for an English speaking
 driver.  I get the same story about Nordeste.  I told him I had been before,
 but wanted to find my family, but he insisted that I see the sunrise.  So I
 walked over to the mall to those taxis.  I found a driver, in his 20s.  He
 spoke English.  I asked him to take me to Nordeste.  He starts in about the
 sunrise thing.  ARGH!!  I want to scream!  I pull out my family group sheet
 and show it to him.  I point to Antonio's name and his death date.  I told
 him I wanted to find my family.

 He looks it over.  He asks if I know how common the name Antonio de Melo
 is.  I said, yes, I knew.  But I pointed out his wife's name, Senhorinha.  I
 said that was less common.  He agreed, and said he would help me.  We agreed
 on a price and off to Nordeste we went.

 I think it was a Sunday.  I think there was a festa that was going to start
 up later that day.  The taxi driver said that would be good as there would

  Just wanted to share a hit with all of you.

 My Mother got a letter with an early 1900's picture of a family with 11
 children ( my Mother gave me the same picture years ago).  The letter was
 from a gentleman in Elk Grove, CA who received the letter from a woman in TX
 doing family research on relatives who moved to CA in the 1920's.  This man,
 who also has done research on his family with the same surname, knew this
 wasn't his family.  He went on to trace down my Mother and sent the letter
 and picture on to her with a note I think this belongs to you.   My Mother
 is now in her 80's and how he located her since her name has changed more
 than twice is in itself a story of a dedicated good Samaritan researcher.

 My Mother phoned Joyce (76), in TX.  They shared stories and my Mother told
 her how interested I am in genealogy, that I have been trying to do research
 and that I had hit a wall and couldn't go any further than my Grt.
 Grandfather.  They all just disappeared.

 As it turns out, my newfound cousin, Joyce, has been doing research for the
 passed 30 some years.  Her and another cousin would take one or two week
 vacations and go back in history to where ever they needed to go.  They
 researched, and *documented* every town record, bible, storyteller,
 library, school record, deeds, wills and compiled a book beginning in 1702
 forward.  Our family was the missing link to one of the 11 children in the
 picture.  I was so happy to send her all the info and docs that I have
 collected to complete her work.

 Even more.  It seems that one of the 11 children's wife, didn't like
 the her inlaws and when Grt. Grandma died, this she set  fire and was
 burning all the family pictures and china when the other family members
 drove up to the old home after the funeral.

 I sent Joyce what few family pictures I had.  Joyce sent copies on to her
 cousins (e-mail is so great).  She wrote back and shared that all the
 cousins haven't come down to earth yet as they are so thrilled with pictures
 that they thought were lost forever.  Four of the pictures that I sent were
 of Joyce's Father that she had never seen before.

 And yes, she is sending me a copy of her book:  )

My grandfather Evaristo R de Medeiros also came here by himself. He was 20.
Story has it he came with only the clothes on his back. He worked in the
cotton mills as did my grandmother and her parents. I have a picture of my

learned english. They lived in New Bedford until the 1940's and came to
California. They were brave/gutsy people back then to leave their country in
hopes of better living conditions. In California they settled in Santa
Clara. New Bedford and Santa Clara had many Portuguese people from the

  My Dad Clarence Vieira Valine died peacefully on May 31, 2010.
 Below OBIT from Porterville Recorder   Sandra Valine Dauer





 Clarence V. Valine was called to the Lord on Monday, May 31, 2010. Clarence
 was born on July 14, 1919 in Dinuba and was a lifelong resident of Tulare
 County.

 A rosary and funeral mass will be held on Friday, June 4, 2010 beginning at
 1 PM at St. Anne's Catholic Church in Porterville with graveside services
 immediately following at Hillcrest Memorial Park in Porterville.

 Clarence is the son of Manuel and Carolina Valine who immigrated to Tulare
 County from Lajes do Pico, in the Azores Islands.

 Clarence is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Mary C. Valine, his
 children, Sandra Dauer, Rod Valine (Margie) and Jeff Valine (Diane).
 Clarence was also blessed with 5 Grandchildren, 1st Lt. Christopher Valine,
 USAF, Ashley Valine, Scott Valine, Laura Valine and Jason Dauer (Dena) and 2
 great-grandchildren, Jared and Sydney Dauer.

 Clarence was preceded in death by his brother, Joseph, his sister Mary and
 his son-in-law, John Dauer. Surviving siblings are sisters Elsie Hylton and
 Olivia Dores.

 Clarence served in the US Army from 1942-1946, including a tour of service
 as an MP in post-WWII Korea. He was extremely proud of his life membership
 in the American Veterans Post 56 and the American Legion, as well as being a
 former member of the Porterville Breakfast Lions and the Luso-American
 Fraternal Federation.

 As a 2nd generation Tulare County farmer and rancher for over 60 years,
 Clarence produced crops ranging from grapes, barley, cotton, sugar beets,
 watermelons, alfalfa, prunes and various other products until his retirement
 in 1975. Clarence and his wife were also strong supporters of the 4-H Clubs
 and Porterville Fair, which included being founding members and of the
 Rockford 4-H Club in 1957 and project leaders for 25 years.

 In retirement, Clarence enjoyed collecting antique farm equipment, toy
 tractors, farm caps and Lions Club pins, playing cards and games with his
 family and friends, vacationing in Pismo Beach, enjoying his grandkids and
 rooting for his favorite baseball team, the Dodgers.

 Hi all,
 I wanted to let everyone know that my Dad passed away May 4th.  While
 he had had ups and downs over the last year with breathing problems,
 it was completely unexpected.  He went into the hospital for his
 emphysema,
 was about to be released, then the next day he began showing different
 symptoms.  It turned out that his colon was bad.  He died 3 days after
 emergency surgery.

 My Dad and I were very close.  When I couldn't work anymore he allowed
 me to live in his house without question.  As he aged, I began taking
 over control of the household and then his medical needs.  When he
 was
 put on oxygen last year, I helped him learn the equipment and
 remembered the things that were too much for him to deal with.


 I am not with the program right now.  I am sort of checking the group

 I appreciate everyone's patience as I slowly get back into the swing

E Elaine- it does me good to hear stories like that! I am disappointed
along with you that you didn't find more info but so excited for what you
did get - to walk in the footsteps! What a trek :) Next year I will be
making the trip to Sao Miguel with my dad, sisters, brother, 2 uncles, my
aunt and 2 cousins. We are just waiting to work out the logistics for
everyone. I hope we can figure out where our previous footsteps had been
first!

 Yesterday, all I was able to write about this site was wonderful.  Now
 I want to tell you why.  On my recent trip to the Azores, I visited
 the orphanage in Sao Miguel where my gr-aunt was placed when her
 father died.  When I searched the Diario de Noticias, there it was - a
 story written by her son (in both English  Portuguese) about how he
 took his mother back to visit the orphanage when she was 86 years old.
  I read this article with much interest to see if she might have give
 me any clue about our family, unfortunately there was none, but just
 to see this story was heartwarming.  Especially reference to the same
 trek I made up the hill to the church and to tell you the truth, I do
 not know how she made it up that hill at age 86!  Strong genes!

[Karen Huffman]

Thank you so much for the info. I can't wait to get my toe in the door and
make that connection to our roots over there. I wish I had been a little
quicker in finding Liberal. I am hoping his kids will know something and
reply when they are ready. Do you know anything about his family in Sao
Roque before they came here?
Thank you for taking the time to reply to me. I do appreciate it!

[Karen Huffman]

It really is too bad that the U.S. can't use common sense like that!  I
always thought that my Portuguese side of the family was more down to earth
and good common sense. Now I know it to be true! The other side well..

 Karen,

 From my understanding, they are not sue happy in the Azores like it is in
 America.

 When I saw the tourada a corda (bull on a rope) on Terceira, and the men
 going out there standing in front of the bull, I asked the band director if
 that was a lawsuit waiting to happen.  He said no, they don't sue for
 everything there like they do in America.  If you're dumb enough to stand in
 front of the bull and you get hurt, it's your problem and the lawyers there
 would not take your case.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Cabral, Costa, Silva, Medieros of S. Miguel and Santos Costa on Terceira

[Karen Huffman]

I am so excited that somebody would have anything that might remotely be
connected Antonio R R Medeiros was my great grandfather. I do not have
dates or place of birth on him. He married Emily Cabral. I know nothing of
her other than she died young or fairly young of cancer. They had 8 kids (we
think) and were well off. They owned properties and had maids. My
grandfather (their son) was Evaristo, names I know are: Albert and Georgina.
Evaristo and Georgina came to the states in their 20's.   A distant
newly found cousin said they weren't really Medeiros' that they were
Roque's. My dad never heard anything like that so we are stumped. After
Emily died Antonio remarried the daughter of one of their maids and
disgraced the family. Supposedly they had a son together and named him Roque
Antonio Roque.

Anything sound vaguely familiar?  Any direction would be awesome!

 Repost for Karen khufflady at charter dot net:

 I wish I was to the point where I was confident enough to post something.
 I
 just don't have much to go on yet. I'm hoping to get a response from a
 relative that can at least give me some dates and villages. I just have a
 couple of surnames so far to follow. Cabral, Costa, Silva, still not sure
 on
 the story with my own surname of Medeiros. That is only 2 generations ago.
 All I have gathered so far is my grandfather (Evaristo Rodrigues Medeiros)
 arrived in Boston on Feb 15, 1921 aboard the Caponic he was 22. He traveled
 alone. He lists his dad as Antonio RR Medeiros of Sao Miguel. My
 grandmother
 Mary Santos arrived here September 12, 1912 aboard the Madonna when she was
 5. The manifest lists her as Costa. She was traveling with her aunt and
 uncle Matthew and Gertrudes Costa. She was born on Terceira. She met and
 married my grandfather on October 25, 1924 in New Bedford at Mount Carmel
 Church. I can trace them through the end of their lives no problem. My
 problem is before they came here. Relatives before them only a few clues.
 My
 dad isn't even sure. Until I get more that is the reason I am quiet. Like
 the others I read everything hoping I might be able to use something or
 recognize something. I didn't want anyone to get annoyed with me chatting
 on
 trivial info. I enjoy reading others accomplishments and snags. I don't
 feel
 so alone!!
