[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: 2017 Azores Genealogy Conference
Thank you, Cheri and Rosemarie, for the wonderful conference experience you provided in SLC. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting folks with a shared research focus. Cheri, I can't thank you enough for the lectures on DNA that provided a clear and concise understanding of a very complicated subject matter. And Rosemarie, your presentation of the Portuguese-American Digital Newspaper Collection has already led me to find my 2x great grandfather mentioned in a Bay Area newspaper, yippee! My old beagle wasn't doing too well when I returned home. On Saturday, I found myself sharing tears with vets, techs, and other hospital staff believing Labor Day Weekend would be Snoopy's last. A week later he is doing much better and he has surprised everyone with his turn around. Instead of a 12-1/2-year-old beagle, I must have a "cat" with 9 lives!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Family Tree programs
Hi Maggie, I had a similar problem when I did not upgrade my old FTM and the new version was recently introduced a few months back. I chose to purchase the "upgrade" to FTM 2017. I then downloaded my tree(s) as a Gedcom file to my desktop. You can then upload the Gedcom file into the new FTM program. I would imagine the same process would work with other software programs, as well. Good luck, Kim White, "not a computer genius" On Wednesday, August 30, 2017 at 8:07:52 AM UTC-7, Maggie15 wrote: > > I have all of my family tree loaded on a MAC version of Family Tree Maker. > An older version.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Portuguese Nomenclature
Thank you all for this thread on Paleography. Rick, do you happen to have an Ed. Pimentell in your tree? This person would have been living in the Hayward, California area in 1897. I have an old newspaper clipping with a picture of the "Forester's Band," "Haywards," taken in 1897. Along with a few of my ancestors, an "Ed. Pimentell" is named in the picture, too.

[AZORES-Genealogy] 1920 U.S. Federal Census, San Leandro, District 0156, enumeration
Hi folks, I am looking at the enumeration for my great grandparents and am wondering what a particular notation signifies on the enumeration form. I have noted that persons who gave Azores as their country of nativity have an "OC" handwritten over "Azores" and "OL" handwritten over "Portuguese." I am wondering if any of you have determined if this notation was made at the time of indexing, or transcription, and what it represents? I have noted "Hamburg" was overwritten with "Ger," "Ost Freisland" was overwritten with "Holland," and "Fyal" was overwritten with "Ptg" and a number of other notations, as well. It is reasonable to suggest that "Ptg" overwritten on "Fyal" indicates Portugal, but "OC" comes across to me as either "Old Country" or "Other Country."

Thank you for the explanation. I don't mind looking for all of the different iterations, I just wanted to understand what was perhaps going on with his name.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Understanding Family Name Usage
Hi Folks, In the Will & Probate records of my 2x Great Grandfather his name is given with 2 other known names. The names are listed as such: Antonio Ignacio Pereira a.k.a. Antone Enos Pereira a.k.a. Ignacio Pereira. Are there naming practices or usages that may help explain why a person would have used 3 different iterations of a name? Understanding this a bit more may help me when looking for other records.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: New Member Introduction
Since our Azorean ancestors often followed different naming practices, I thought it prudent to add the "aliases" that my 2x g.g-father used, as documented in his will and probate papers. I am providing these as there were spelled on the document. Antonio Ignacio Pereira also known as Antone Enos Pereira also known as Ignacio Pereira Thank you, and perhaps someone will recognize this person as someone in their own tree. P.S. Prayers and best wishes for those living in the Azores, I see that a hurricane has formed in that area of the Atlantic. The first during January in about 80 years!
