[AZORES-Genealogy] De Melo

[Marie Shantz]

George Demello  I am from the de Mello line from Vila Franca do Compo. The next 
village over. Francisco de Mello and Tereza de Jesus. In 1883 they with their 
children left on the Bell Tick for Hawaii. I have past your village on my way 
to Vila Franca on my numerous visits to the island. Still trying to match up 
with related family

[AZORES-Genealogy] Military flights to Lajes Air For e in Terceira

[Marie Shantz]

Took flights from BWI to Terceira. Usually late in the day in Saturday.   Need 
a passport. The military side is now run by Portuguese Military.  You cannot 
leave the base till your passport is stamped!!! On Monday. There is lodging on 
base.  Place to eat as well and exchange money. Need a ride to the other side 
tho my husband and I have walked there. - the civilian airport to catch flights 
to other islands. People in lodging always helped us secure our plane tickets 
since we do not speak Portuguese. I would go to Sao Miguel to Vila Franca where

to Faial Madeira to grandfathers birth place

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Van der Hagen book

[Marie]

Hi Sam:

Kathy Cardosa has a link on her website  to an extensive family history of 
the Flemish settlers of the Azores by Belgian-Dutch genealogist Andre 
Claeys.  You will find the descendants of  Willem de Kersmacere AKA Willem 
van der Hagen  there. Also an explanation of his research to  indicate that 
Willem's name was in all probability de Kersemacere not vd Hagen.

Wondering what is the meaning of the margin notes on several of these 
obits.  I believe it is an abbreviation but of what?

In 1922 my great aunt Marianna Borba married Jermano Silveira Agueda who 
was born 16 Apr 1887 in Topo, Sao Jorge.  I believe they were married in 
California as they both immigrated prior to this date .  I have his

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Are Agada and Agueda the same name?

[Marie]

My grandfather, John Antonio Borba at age 11, first settled in the San Luis 
Obispo area of California in 1901; and lived there for about 10 years.  He 
then moved south to the desert of Brawley and El Centro, He and his 
brothers finally settlied  in the  Chino/ Ontario, area of California  in 
about 1924 and remained there for the rest of their lives.  We know of no 
other close Borba  family in California.  I sure wish we did.  I have 
verified this with my last surviving aunt , age 92, who has a very good 
memory of people and family history.

[Marie]

Thank you Eric and Joao for providing the translations for these records.  
My information is now more certain.  Rosemarie, that's a good idea to use 
these for future reference.  There is always something to learn no matter 
how long I have been researching my ancestors.  I was hoping to attend the 
conference this year; but we will be celebrating my granddaughter's 6th 
birthday in San Antonio, Texas (we live in San Diego, CA). Maybe next year?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Researching Antónia de São José, daughter of Manoel Jozé da Cunha and Maria de São José, Topo, São Jorge

[Marie]

Hi Eric:

Sorry for the blank responses--have had too much caffeine this morning.

Antonia was born 9 August 1812 before her parents were married.  Her 
baptism record confirms the names of her mother and maternal grandparents.  
See  top right  
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-CH-TOPO-B-1801-1815/SJR-CH-TOPO-B-1801-1815_item1/P197.html

  Then in 1817 ( top left) her parents, who were married in 1814 brought 
her to the church, for a ceremony to perhaps "legitimize" her??  The record 
verifies her DOB, but I cannot read what follows. 

 We need a person more fluent to explain this record and notes in the 
margins of both records. 
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-CH-TOPO-B-1815-1828/SJR-CH-TOPO-B-1815-1828_item1/P34.html

Thanks for your help.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: maria vitorina da conceicao in sao jorge

[Marie]

It will get better by practicing, do read the posting on Gen web.  We all 
started this way.  
As far as a head start for you,  Maria was baptized on 4 June 1893 in the 
parish of Santo Antao, she was born on 31 May 1893.

Her father was Manoel A. d'Azevedo from the parish of Nossa Senhora do 
Rosario in Topo, her mother was Maria da Conceicao from Horta, a single 
woman.

Her paternal grandfather was unknown, her paternal grandmother was Anna 
Victorina
Her maternal grandparents were Joao Antonio Victorina and Luisa da 
Conceicao de Coracao de Jesus

The rest is church lingo

[AZORES-Genealogy] Cotton Mill in Taunton, MA

[Marie]

My grandmother is long gone and I was too young to think about asking
the right questions when I could have.  Among my many questions are
how could a very shy 16 year old young girl come to the US alone,
without knowing any one ( that we know of) not speak the language,
find a place to live and get a job in a cotton mill in Taunton??.  She
lived in a boarding house, we assume .  Does anyone know what cotton
mill she might have worked at in Taunton?  She worked with thread, if
I recall correctly.  What is the history of immigrants from the Azores
finding jobs in the mills.  Too many questions, not enough answers
from the last survivng family that might know???


Thanks for your help

Hi Cheri:

The following is an e-mail I received from Joao Ventura regarding my

Dear Mrs. Volbeda,

 Thank your for your email.

 Were are working on the records every day. So I would advise you to
check the site regularly for update.

 The records for Santo Antão will start to be online next Monday and
when those are complete, Topo will follow.

 If you have more questions, please contact us.

 Hi Marie,

 I checked and see only Calheta, Norte Pequeno, and Ribeira Seca (all in the
 council of Calheta) online.  None of the other freguesias are online yet.

 Check with the person who told you that they were going live this morning.
 I don't know of anyone on this list who knows of that information.

 Sorry,
 Cheri
