There is only a preview of the book. Meaning it is showing you sections of
the book. I used the link you posted Sam and once you get to page 20 it
shows you that 21 through 76 are not shown in the preview.

It let's you look at some pages but not all of them. This book is still
under copyright restrictions. You may find a copy in a library or I believe
there is an ebook version for $8.99 to download.

E check for pages 21 - 76 and find out if you can see these pages.

 The following is from an Azores Government publication concerning
 the Hawaiian migration.

  The Portuguese migration to Hawaii was fueled by poor economic
 conditions in the mother country, and
 particularly in Madeira. The production and export of fine wines had
 been for many years the mainstay of the
 Madeiran economy. During the 1850’s, however, the vineyards were
 laid waste by a blight that crippled the wine
 industry for decades. Unemployment and hunger followed the
 destruction of the vineyards. As conditions worsened,
 Madeirans looked for a better way of life in Brazil, the United
 States and Hawaii.

 During this same period, the Kingdom of Hawaii was in need of
 laborers for her sugar plantations. The large scale
 cultivation of sugar depended upon a continuous supply of
 inexpensive labor. The demand for plantation
 workers increased after Hawaii concluded a Reciprocity Treaty with
 the United States in 1876, which facilitated the
 exportation of Hawaiian sugar. The dramatic decline of the Hawaiian
 population had caused planters and government
 officials to look abroad for suitable immigrants to work the land
 and increase the population of the Kingdom. Several
 thousand Chinese emigrated to Hawaii during the 1860’s and 1870’s.
 Yet the Chinese seldom brought their families,
 and distinct cultural differences between the Chinese and other
 residents of Hawaii caused many of the latter to
 demand an end to the large scale importation of workers from China.

 In 1876, *Mr. Jacintho Pereira,* a Portuguese citizen and
 proprietor of a successful dry goods store in Honolulu,
 came forward with an interesting idea. Pereira suggested that the
 Hawaiian government investigate the possibility of
 solving Hawaii’s labor and population problems by encouraging the
 immigration of Portuguese from Madeira. The
 government contacted *Dr. William Hillebrand* who was living at
 that time in Funchal. Hillbrand acted as Hawaii’s
 agent, and carried out all of the details required to place the
 first contingent of Portuguese immigrants aboard the
 Priscilla.

 *1853* Census shows 87 Portuguese in Hawaii.

 *1876* Jacinto Perreira, a Portuguese merchant residing in Hawaii
 recommends to the Kingdom the immigration of
   Portuguese to Hawaii to help solve the labor problems.

 *1877* The St. Antonio Society, a Portuguese benevolent
 association, is established in Honolulu.

 *1878* Census shows more than 400 Portuguese in Hawaii.

 *1878* The ship Priscilla arrives in Honolulu harbor on September
 30. 1878 with the first major contingent of Portuguese
immigrants to Hawaii (about 120 men, women and children).

 *1879* The ship Ravenscrag arrives in Honolulu harbor on August 23,
 1879 with the second large group of Portuguese
   settlers in Hawaii (419 men, women and children). These
 settlers brought with them the Portuguese braguinha,
   the instrument that became the ‘ukulele.

 *1882* The Government of Hawaii signs an immigration treaty with
 Portugal.

 *1893* Portuguese support the establishment of the Hawaiian
 Republic.

 *1900* Portuguese population numbers 18,272, approximately 12% of
 the total population of the Hawaiian Islands.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] How accurate is death record information

Since this thread is about death record information, I would like to ask a

but where most deaths recorded or was it hit and miss? I have always looked
for the baptismos and marriages.

Thanks

 They seem to range in accuracy. For the most part they will get the name
 right and their spouses name correct if they were married or widowed. The
 amount of info also seems to depend on the priest, and the year. Death recs
 in the 1600's and 1700's sometimes contain less info. Generally i have
 seen that children and young unmarried people have relatively accurate info
 with age, names of parents etc., and where they were from. For middle age
 or older individuals age accuracy seems to vary from what I have have seen,
 from accurate within the correct year , or up to 4 or 5 years off.
 Sometimes spouses of the deceased are not listed for some reason, as well
 as ages. Other times the records may not list the original place the
 individual was from if they did not know.

 In any case, the Obitos can be very useful in filling in info and
 calculating their approximate birth. I use the other baptismal and marriage
 records to get more precise info.

 I am curious what others think of this marriage that I came across in
 Achada.  The marriage took place in 1777.  The couple is distantly related
 to me.

 What caught my eye was the years of baptismal.   The groom was baptized in
 mille sette  centos secenta e quarto annos = 1764.  The bride in mille
 sette centos secenta e seis = 1766.  Portuguese numbers kind of trip me up
 so I checked my translations and confirmed them.  This would mean the groom
 was 13 and the bride 11?  I have never seen such a young couple in the
 Azores!  Here is the marriage record for reference:

 http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-ACHADA-C-1758-1787/SMG-ND-ACHADA-C-1758-1787_item1/P94.html

 I began to think that maybe the Priest made a mistake.  He was tired.  He
 really meant 1754 and 1756 (or something else), not 1764 and 1766.  I
 decided to find the baptismal records to see if they were in those years.
 I found the groom, Joze, in 1764 (bottom of left hand page, son of Matheus
 Correa):

 http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-ACHADA-B-1751-1770/SMG-ND-ACHADA-B-1751-1770_item1/P97.html

 And, I found the bride, Roza, in 1766 (left hand side bottom, dau of
 Domingas Pimentel):

 http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-ACHADA-B-1751-1770/SMG-ND-ACHADA-B-1751-1770_item1/P109.html

 I have not translated out the marriage record in it's entirety yet as I
 haven't had a chance to really work through it.  I wonder what other
 researchers think.  Did these two really marry so young?  Would they have
 set up house at such a young age--would their have been a delay until they
 were older?  As I said, I have never come across a couple so young in my
 research.  It's sparked my curiosity.

 And, if I'm reading these records incorrectly, please let me know!  I'm
 vital record and swear word fluent in Portuguese, so I could be missing
 something or misinterpreting words.

 it is a new piece of paper added in an effort to restore and give the

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA testing

Marico

I have done the Family Tree DNA testing and a first cousin once removed. We
are still waiting on his results. So I know that you will have some family
on here. I have also made connection with some others in the Azorean DNA
group.

Where are you in Canada? I have cousins in Toronto.

 Marcio,

 It's best to go with Family Tree DNA. That's where the Azores DNA project
 is. I'd start off with the Family Finder test, which covers all your lines
 back about 200 years from your birth. That test is $99 USD + $7 postage
 since you are in Canada.

 Yes, there's a bit of a difference between the companies. There are over
 600 people with Azorean descent at Family Tree DNA. There's probably about
 12 people with Azorean ancestry over at Ancestry.com. There's more at 23
 and Me, but since that company was originally set up for medical type info,
 most people there don't answer genealogy requests.

 Rick is going to have to send you the join link because my computer froze
 up again and I'm answering through my cell. Excuse the typos.

 Hope this answers your questions.

 This marriage on Sao Jorge, Topo, seems to have a different format with

  If you have the husbands name from the Baptismo, the next step is to
 find the Casamento ( marriage ) record. It will require a swag (

 will be time for another swag. I usually start at age 20 and go from
 there ( haven't had to go younger yet). Also if you are lucky she will not
 have a common name i.e.: Maria. Depending on time period she may be
 described as pais incognito or nao pais sabido.

 hope this helps

[AZORES-Genealogy] Help with translation Topo,Sao Jorge Surnames Goncalves and Jose

2014-02-10 Thread Marilyn Thompson
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-CH-TOPO-C-1860-1869/SJR-CH-TOPO-C-1860-1869_item1/P26.html


Sorry I do not know why it did not put this as a hyper-link

This marriage on Sao Jorge, Topo, seems to have a different format with
additional information. One of their daughter's baptism did not name him as
the father. She was born in Mar 1862. I am thinking it is explaining this,
maybe?

I can pick out from this marriage # 15 on the top right:

 2 Dec 1862 marriage of Jose Antonio Goncalves and Marianna Jose


Jose Antonio Goncalves parents:

Manuel Gonsalves Fagundas and Clara dos Anjos

Marianna Jose's parents:

Maria Victorina  and Manuel Texiera  but it looks like something about Civil


I would appreciate any additional information that can be located in this
record. It has been several years since I have tried to read these records.

Thank you for your help. This group is great.

Marilyn

 AudioSourceInc,

  If you have the husbands name from the Baptismo, the next step is to find
 the Casamento ( marriage ) record. It will require a swag ( scientific
 wild ass guess) and you may end up searching several decades to find it. If
 you are lucky the casemento will list the ages at time of marriage,that
 will narrow your search for her baptism record otherwise it will be time
 for another swag. I usually start at age 20 and go from there ( haven't
 had to go younger yet). Also if you are lucky she will not have a common
 name i.e.: Maria. Depending on time period she may be described as pais

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Copyright and the Copy Machine

I do not chime in too often, but this article from Legal Genealogists is
not fully correct. The large library does have scanners, with copyright
notices posted next to them.

As a genealogist by degree (BA), there is a % of a copyrighted book that
can be copied. I am away from my information right now, but if memory
serves me right it is about 20% of a book may be copied.

It is not a problem to copy a few pages of a book, so do not panic if you
have made copies.

Help! I do not know what Wim is even referring too in the email. I sent
an email asking if this person would consider posting a GEDCOM to their
tested person and this is what was sent.

I know this is not Azorean, but would you consider helping me understand,
please. I do not even know where to find the values he has mentioned. 
DF19+ and DF88+ let alone the L644

The kit number they gave is not mine. My kit for James A Miller is 211318.

It might be easier to talk me through this on the phone. I would be
available after 8:30pm CA time. 801 254-5985

To: Marilyn Thompson mari...@jmtmlt.com


Hello Marilyn,

the paper trail of Johan Verelst's ancestry ends in a man named Cornelis
Verelst, born about 1565 in a small village south from Antwerp (present-day
Belgium). However, he is genetically related to me, and we share a
biologically confirmed ancestor who lived in that same region in the 15th
century.

Is the kit number of your James A. Miller 228805? I am one of the
volunteer co-administrators of the P312  Subclades project at FTDNA, and
in this project we have quite a few Miller samples that have tested
positive for the DF19 and DF88 mutations. Is yours one of these? My own
Verelst family is also DF19+ DF88+, but unlike the Miller / Müller family
it has an additional mutation, L644. Any historic connection between the
Miller and Verelst lineages thus necessarily pre-dates the origin of the
L644 mutation, and because we estimate that L644 originated roughly between
the 5th and 8th century AD, we need to go back at least 1300 years to find
a common ancestor. I expect that this MRCA lived in northern Germany or
Denmark.

  Best regards,

 Wim Verelst.

FamilySearch.org has early from 1762 for Recife City, Pernambuco State and
Salvador City, Bahia State starting in 1598. These records are a
Browse type.

Steps to find these records
https://familysearch.org/search
scroll to the lower section - click on Caribbean, Central and South
Americahttps://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1region=CENTRAL_SOUTH_AMERICA
click on Brazil - then select Pernambuco or Bahia or whatever state needed
then click on Browse through XX images do not panic at the number of
images
Then pick the Municipality, then parish, then the record type you need to
look at

Not all records are available for all the time periods.

I hope this helps

 FYI - Portugal considers all descendants of folks born in Portugal to be

 your ancestor who was born there and you can become a dual citizen of

 the proper forms and paying a few hundred dollars to my local Portuguese
 Consulate, just today after about 9 months, I was notified I'm officially a
 Portuguese citizen even though I was born in Massachusetts.  The only
 wrinkle in my paper trail was my father changed his name from Pereira to
 Perry and that would have broken the trail except back in 1938 he
 officially changed his name in this country.  Without that document, it
 wouldn't have happened.  It's easiest to do if a parent was born there,
 more difficult if it's a grandparent - the trail gets longer and fuzzier -
 though it's still possible.

 I did this, not for me - I'm too old to care one way or another but for
 one son who has expressed a desire to open a BB in semi-retirement in the
 Azores.  He too is eligible since his grandfather was born there and now
 his father is a citizen as well.  Not only does it pave the way for him to
 work, live and run a business in Portugal but as a citizen of a European
 Union country, he can essentially do that anywhere in Europe.

 If someone was able to stowaway, they would not be listed on the home

 and would wind up being listed as an arrival on the American end.

 I don't remember if that information is from Michael C. Tepper's American

 Hi Freddy,

 Maybe you got some private replies, but I know many people would love to
 have your luck in having some ancestors so well documented as to go back
 over a thousand years.

 You already got some help with the Minho website. Just verify each record
 as you go, because it's full of bad assumptions as to parentage, especially
 in some of the oldest generations on Faial in Cedros and places where they
 have only baptisms, but no marriages to support them. Some lines are just
 wishful thinking.

 John Raposo quoted some of your ancestry from the book by Forjaz and
 Mendes about the four islands in the Horta district. I don't know whether
 that has some additional links I haven't found myself. But much of that is
 also mentioned in an older nobility book about Faial families, called
 Familias Faialenses. That is available online these days - all in
 Portuguese, of course, but I believe you are fluent in that.

 For the oldest generations beyond the Azores, turn to Felgueiras Gayo, a
 genealogist from the 1700s, if I recall. He wrote many volumes on the noble
 families of Portugal and you can get back to all the European royalty
 there. It might also be online.

 But to answer your exact question, yes you have documented ancestral lines
 that go back to Guilherme da Silveira of Flanders (Willem van der Hagen).
 It comes from your Vilalobos line, that branches off to Marramaque and then
 to Willem vdH.

 If you follow your Peixoto lines, you will find they get back to some
 Kings of Aragon.
 On your Carvalho line, it goes back to more kings of Navarre, Leon and
 elsewhere.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] GeneWeb to Gedcom

2013-11-04 Thread Marilyn Thompson
I agree with Cheri, try out the sample programs. I however am an Ancestral
Quest user. There is a free version of AQ available online to download. It
is usable, but does not include all of the goodies that come with the
full version.

I am biased because AQ is written by a friend of mine. He is the one that
originally wrote the PAF program.

On the AQ website, I believe there is a place to email questions or a phone
number to call with questions.

 Freddy G,

 I'm not sure what you mean by GeneWeb.  Is your genealogy in the cloud?
 There should be a command of File Export and you can create a Gedcom that
 way.

 Ancestral Quest was supposed to be the next program after PAF.

 Everyone will tell you that their program is the best, of course!  The 4
 most popular genealogy software programs on the market (for a PC) are
 Family Tree Maker (FTM) by Ancestry.com (no free trial), Legacy Family Tree
 (their standard edition is free), RootsMagic (their Essentials is free),
 and The Master Genealogist (TMG) which is free for a 30 day trial period.

 Download Legacy, RM, and TMG and play with them all.  Make up some people
 (George Washington, Bugs Bunny), have Daisy Duck married to Donald and a
 child by Bugs Bunny and see how the software handles it.  Have people with
 the same name (3 or 4 George Washingtons - one born 1722, another born
 1799, another born 1850, and the last one born 1900 and see how to
 distinguish between them all).

 Legacy has a fairly intuitive interface and is pretty powerful.  RM has
 the smallest learning curve and has a portability option (RootsMagic to Go)
 with their paid version.  TMG has the largest learning curve, is the most
 powerful, is completely customizable and has really good filters for
 handing people of the same name.

 When I give my Genealogy Software Review speech, I tell those who are
 nervous computer users to try RM first (Essentials) and see how they like
 it.  I tell people who don't want to spend too much time learning a program
 but want it to do more to try Legacy.  I tell people who are annoyed that
 their program won't do this or that and who are comfortable with the
 computer to try out TMG.  Because FTM doesn't have a free trial it's hard
 to say what to do with that program.  If you go to your local genealogy
 society, someone probably has it and can show you what it looks like and
 what is does.

 I belong to a Users Group for my genealogy software program.  People come
 to our meetings who are checking out the other programs because they don't
 like the one that they are currently using.  See if there are any User
 Groups in your area.  RM, Legacy, and TMG has a User Groups tab on their
 respective web sites.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Images from CCA

2013-10-23 Thread Marilyn Thompson
Family Search.org/ Family Tree is in the beta testing of uploading
documents to the website. I am wondering if anyone knows if there would be
any problem if documents from the CCA website were uploaded to FamilyTree.

I am only talking about individuals uploading a baptism, marriage, and/or
death record.

Would CCA object? I am asking because you have to say you have the right to
post the documents. Any thoughts or opinions?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder In Common With function

2013-09-02 Thread Marilyn Thompson
OK I guess I am just very dense. I do not know where to find the In Common
With section on FTDNA. I have confirmed several on the known relationship
page as Distant Cousins, but do not know where to go from there. I did ask
that 2 of them add a GEDCOM. One person, John E Machado, I can see where
the connection is in our families. The other 3 with GEDCOMs do not extend
far enough to make a connection. I will request that they add to their
pedigree.

Please help me understand the In Common With function.  I have had a
cousin [not Azores side] test YDNA and I have done the FF.

Would it be any help if I have my mom's first cousin also test? They shared
grandparents on both sides of the paternal line. {1st cousins married]

Marilyn

 Hi Susan,

 It may have been Doug da Rocha Holmes who started a thread about In
 Common With.  But with the latest round of results, it doesn't hurt to
 mention it again.

 If I don't know the relationship, I assign Distant Cousin and then I can
 run the filter for In Common With.  They don't have to accept the
 relationship in order for me to run the filter.  FTDNA is supposed to
 change this where we won't have to assign a relationship in order to run
 the filter.  We will just be able to to it.  Don't know when this is coming
 though.  They told us last November at the conference and it hasn't
 happened yet (they keep IT pretty busy).

 For people who tested themselves and one parent (because the other is
 deceased) can run the filter for Not In Common With to get the other side
 of their tree.

 Once you get 3 people confirmed from the same ancestor, you have done a
 triangulation and you will start to see other matches hitting on the same
 people.  The puzzle pieces start to fit together and things start to make
 sense.  But it takes time.  This is what will need to happen with you and
 Joao C. Ventura.

 Because there's more of us Azoreans than either Madeirans or Continentals
 doing our genealogy and DNA testing, we are going to have more matches than
 either the Madeirans or mainland Portugal.  You've got the DNA Admins on
 this list with megaphones shouting every time there's a match or sale!
 It's not happening as much on the Madeira or Portugal lists.  They need
 some big mouths over there!

 For all new Portuguese genealogists:

 I have run across something just tonight during my research that I think
 will help out researchers who haven't had enough experience to decide on
 their own whether a particular record is for their sought ancestor, or not.

 I met online a man from Terceira who now lives in CA and so has 100% of
 his ancestors from Terceira.
 He is from the village of São Mateus da Calheta, which is a little west of
 the city of Angra. A beautiful church is right on the main road that
 encircles the island.

 Since I happen to have many ancestors from São Mateus - it's where my
 surname combination was created (Rocha Homem/Holmes), I knew there is
 practically a guarantee that we would be related many times over.

 Having an interest in his own ancestry, he immediately sent me a list of
 many ancestors going back to the 1600s in many cases. While looking over
 his data and comparing it to mine, I was reminded of the topic of this
 message.

 Amongst his ancestors are a series of ancestors who used the name FERREIRA
 da SOUSA as well as FERREIRA BRIOSO. It happened with several generations
 of this line. One might find them one time listed as Francisco Ferreira de
 Sousa and at another time as Francisco Ferreira Brioso. Knowing it is the
 same person comes from the constant name of the wife and all happening in
 one village and time period.

 On another of his lines he has ancestors named GOMES RIBEIRO. This
 ancestor was also called RIBEIRO GOMES. Each time, it is known to be the
 same person because it was the same name for his wife.

 But topping it off, when he married, he used yet a third name of MARTINS
 RIBEIRO. I don't believe I have ever run across this before. And one must
 use extreme caution when making such a conclusion, or you could end up
 tracing all the wrong ancestors.

 To be certain, one must carefully study all the names for all children in
 the family. Some will be exactly the same as others. Some will be different
 than the others, but match those of other siblings. But when it came to
 this marriage, I was at a loss, because it should have happened in one of
 the villages such as São Mateus, São Bartolomeu, Santa Bárbara or maybe in
 Sé, Angra. But I have completed all the marriages for these places in this
 time frame and still came up empty.

 Just for the heck of it, I decided to search my entire database contained
 in my genealogy program. There are over 225,000 people so far entered. I
 figured I must have found this marriage already. So I searched for the name
 of the wife and then just RIBEIRO for the husband. I don't know if all
 genealogy programs can do this. I only use BROTHER'S KEEPER and have done
 so for about 25 years. Others will surely tell me if they can search for
 people in this way. If they can't then I would never want such a genealogy
 program, because I would be lost and have many duplicate couples under
 different names which I try extremely hard to avoid.

 Well, I did find a second match and it was in one of those villages, as I
 expected. And it was in a time frame I expected. What I never expected was
 this third name variation - MARTINS RIBEIRO. But I even went back and
 looked at this marriage yet again. Clear as day it's Martins Ribeiro. And
 he even has a father and brother using Martins Ribeiro. So this is no
 mistake.

 I had no children attached to that couple whose marriage I had found. I
 only had children attached to the them when they used the first two name
 variations.

 Just so you know, these are not my ancestors. They are simply part of my
 massive project to trace the genealogies of everyone who ever was born or
 lived in Terceira (and also Pico island). So until today, I never searched
 for baptisms for this couple and when I found the first child with the
 reversal of RIBEIRO GOMES to GOMES RIBEIRO, it all started to fall into
 place what was going on here - the common name variation that one always
 will find in any Portuguese tree.

 I don't expect anyone will ever find such an example as above. But one
 will ALWAYS find that one person in their family tree (in Portugal) has a
 name variation that will throw a curve ball your way and make you think
 something is wrong.

 If you have ancestors from Pico or Terceira and are stuck, let me know.

 Boa sorte!

 Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Silvina Cunha

 The surname Rose is the anglicized version of the Portuguese surname
 Rosa, which in turn is the Portuguese adaptation of the Flemish surname
 Roos.

 Background: After the Azores were discovered, Prince Henry found it
 difficult to get the pampered Portuguese nobility to leave their
 comfortable
 surroundings on the continent, and venture off into the vast unknown ocean
 to live in isolation, on a few islands bereft of all of those
 aforementioned
 comforts. A timely intervention by Henry's cousin, the Duchess of
 Lancaster,
 who appealed to Henry on behalf of the Flemish people, after they had been
 left destitute in the aftermath of a war for the Netherlands. So, Henry
 agreed to invite the Flemish people to migrate to, and populate the islands
 of the Azores (two problems solved). They settled mostly in the central
 group of islands (Faial, Pico, Sao Jorge, and Graciosa). The result of the
 Flemish colonization brought with it new customs and new names, which the
 Portuguese islanders accepted, and so, the Flemish were quickly assimilated
 into the Azorian society.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Carreiro from Maia to Kauai to Fall River

2012-10-19 Thread Marilyn Thompson
I did a paper in college about the Portuguese in Hawaii. They were not
treated will. They were treated like the slaves in the Southern United
States. They completed their required years of service for their passage to
Hawaii and then left the islands. Some went to California.

 Hi Mel

 I found one of your statements of interest in this story. You wonder what
 drew Manuel away from Hawaii. I am going through the same dilemma with my
 GGrandfather Joaquim Machado Pereira from Sao Jorge who left Hawaii and
 went to Australia in about 1870. In his case I think it was something to do
 with the whaling industry.

 I've been researching this family associated with my de Braga family
 tree and now it looks like I'm double connected.

 Manoel Carreiro (son Jose Carreiro  Maria Augusta do Couto) of Maia,
 m. Maria Claudina (dau of Jose Muniz Serpa  Claudina Perreira).  They
 migrated to Hawaii in 1882 on the Hansa.

 Manoel's sister, Francisca, married on of my gr gr grandfather's
 cousin's, Diniz de Braga.  They also went to Kauai.

 I couldn't find Manoel's family in Hawaii, but in 1900 two of his
 children are living with Diniz and Francisca.

 A couple of years ago, another researcher contacted me about a Manuel
 Carreiro of Fall River, MA.  It turns out this Manuel Carreiro was the
 son of Manoel Carreiro and Maria Claudina.  Manuel Jr. left Kauai and
 married Annine Cecila Silva in Fall River, MA in 1901.

 I have been trying to learn more about this family because it
 fascinates me.  I wonder what drew Manuel Jr away from Hawaii.  Almost
 everyone else in the family who left Hawaii ended up in Monterey Co.
 or Oakland, CA.  This is my first known instance of a Hawaii cousin
 going to Massachusetts.

 Recenlty, I've learned that their may have been more Muniz Serpa's who
 came to Fall River, MA.  I'm following the trail of Ignes M. Serpa,
 dau of Francisco M. Serpa  Ermelinda da Camara, who married my
 distant cousins Jacintho Pacheco Remigio in Fall River, 25 Jan 1905.
 I'm not certain yet but I believe the Ignes is related to Maria
 Claudina (Muniz Serpa) Carreiro.  I'm still trying to piece it
 altogether, but it appears that their were Carriero's and Muniz
 Serpa's of the same family in Fall River as early as 1900 on Columbia
 St.  They had my de Mello Castanho's living with them which would make
 a whole circle of connections to Maia, Ribeira Grande.

 Is anyone connected to the Carreiro/Muniz Serpa/de Braga/Pacheco
 Remigio/de Mello Castanho's of Fall River, MA and Maia, Ribeira
 Grande?  Perhaps there is someone who has the missing clues to the
 puzzle.

 Thanks

 Hi Tex,
 mtDNA Full Sequence will focus on your mother's mother's mother's line
 only.  And it will take time to get meaningful, genealogical matches.

 Family Finder will go back on all lines on your pedigree about 200
 years.  So if you were born in the 1930s, for example, you will have DNA
 from all your ancestor going back to the 1730s.  You will also get matches
 right away.  If you are 100% Portuguese, you can expect 2-4 pages of
 matches at 10 people on a page.

 Since just mtDNA and Family Finder are on sale, I'd do Family Finder

 Marilyn, it may still be too soon to find deeply discounted airfares
 online between the west and Boston -- assuming that you, like me, are
 willing to accept restrictions in order to get the lowest possible price.

 In general, the US airlines list their cheapest fares about *5-6 WEEKS
 BEFORE* departure date.  However, I like to start stalking airfares
 about 10 weeks before departure date so I have some notion of the market,
 although I know that usually the price I'm willing to pay isn't available
 for about another month.  (I check  Expedia, but there are other similar
 aggregator sites, as well as a few airlines that aren't listed on any of
 them, e.g., Southwest).

 In off-season (ca. October-April), SATA typically flies only between
 Boston and Ponta Delgada, São Miguel, and only on Tuesdays and Fridays
 (except for a smattering of extra flights around various major holidays),
 with Tuesday fares generally a bit lower.  However, domestic US fares
 to/from Boston tend to be significantly lower on Tuesdays than Fridays, so
 substantial savings on those might help you decide, if your schedule
 permits.

 One smart move SATA has made lately is to schedule their return flight
 from PDL to BOS for a few hours earlier than it used to, so that it's due
 to arrive in late afternoon, allowing sufficient time for connecting
 passengers to clear Customs, then make the next flight (previously, their
 flights arrived so late that a continuing passenger had to spend the night
 in Boston, and hotels there are pricey).

 Don't hesitate to ask if you have further questions.  Katharine.

 We were in São Miguel, São Jorge and Terceira in late October-early

 summer (which I don't like), but still mild, sort of like my beloved native
 San Francisco Bay Area.  It only seriously rained 1 day out of 10 (but hey,
 that's what museums are for!), plus brief showers on a few other days, so
 pack an umbrella and light jacket.  Best of all, practically no other
 tourists, so you can really get a feel for the place (it was my husband's
 first time there), and tourist attractions aren't crowded.

 Boa viagem!  Katharine.

I have a question regarding immigration information on my Great
  Grandmother.
 
  I found out today that my great-grandmother, Mary (Rose) Silveira
  entered the port of New York, NY on April 23, 1890.  She was 12-months
  old.  She immigrated with her father and mother, Joseph and Gertrude
  Rose.  She immigrated from Fayal, Azores.  I don't have the ship name.
 
  Is there any way to find out what ships entered the port of New York
  on 4/23/1890?   I have done a google search, yet I am unable to find
  specific ship names, coming from Azores, on this date.
 
  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
  **Also, what is the portuguese spelling of Gertrude?
 
  Thanks so much.

 Hi All,

 This is off topic but I am hoping someone on this list can give me some
 guidance. I found the following on Ancestry:

 U.S. and International Marriage Records, 1560-1900
 Name: Eliza Jarratt
 Spouse Name: James Mcneal
 Number Pages: 1
 Source Citation: Source number: 273.000; Source type: Electronic Database;
 Number of Pages: 1; Submitter Code: JWJ.
 Source Information: Yates Publishing. U.S. and International Marriage
 Records, 1560-1900 [database on-line]. Provo, UT, USA: Ancestry.com
 Operations Inc, 2004.
 Original data: This unique collection of records was extracted from a
 variety of sources including family group sheets and electronic databases.
 Originally, the information was derived from an array of materials
 including pedigree charts, family history articles, querie. Description:
 This database contains marriage record information for approximately
 1,400,000 individuals from across all 50 United States and 32 different
 countries around the world between 1560 and 1900. These records, which
 include information on over 500 years of marriages, were extracted from
 family group sheets, electronic databases, biographies, wills, and other
 sources.

 My husband's gggrandfather was James McNeil/McNeal b. abt. 1799 SC or GA.
 We know his wife's name is Eliza from census records. We are trying to find
 out if this Eliza Jarratt could be her but Ancestry only give the above
 info. How do I find out where to find out more on this marriage?

 Thank you.

 the paragraph written by the priest and tell me what it says?
 
  There is a paragraph, followed by about 10 pages of indexed names.
 
  At first I thought it was an index of the births during this period, but
 it does not coincide chronologically with the names/births at the start of
 this book so I was wondering if it is actually an index of the births in
 this book or an index of names that didn't make it into the book.  Any
 ideas?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Geneology software

Ancestral Quest is the program I use and it has many features. I am just
getting into the collaboration part of AQ. Using it I can save my data on
the cloud in a secure server and access it from other locations (ie the
library or even a friends house). You can share access to other family or
friends if you choose. It has come in handy more than once.

Ancestral Quest website -http://www.ancquest.com/Ver12-1Info.htm shows some
of the features. There are instructions how you can change it to Portuguese
or other languages. Since I do not speak Portuguese I can make the changes.

The tech people are available to help if you run into a problem. They are
also open for suggestions of what would help to make it better for you.

 I have to agree with Dora. I use Personal Ancestral File  have for years.
 I was sad when I heard this program will not be upgraded in the future but
 I still use it. You can import pictures, keep lots of notes  document your
 sources. It is easy to print out reports and the program will put all your
 information into a book format that you can print out with or without an
 index. A lot of my friends use Rootsmagic  that is probably they program I
 will go to if I ever give up my PAF. I have put my family information into
 Rootmagic via a GEDCOM  I liked what I saw. I also liked the book format a
