Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores trip in May
I am also going May to Ponta Delgada, my husband and I, only for a week (my second time). Want to go back to Nordestinho, Bretanha, Mosterios, and see more. Seems I am related to nearly everyone according to the Nobiliario de Familias Portuguesas (on my fathers side). First man born in Sao Miguel, Nuno Gonsalves Botelho 1504. It's good to know we are all a huge family. There is so much to see, you will enjoy. See Nordeste and Nordestinho (they are so beautiful).

I’m working with Joao Ventura on the research but am now interested in eating some good Portuguese food and seeing some of those fantastic islands! Any suggestions for places to eat in Ponta Delgada , Angra do Heroismo, and anywhere on Graciosa? Also plan to take a tour of Ponta Delgada and maybe Angra, any suggestions? with a group or hire someone/a driver? We’ll rent a car on Graciosa and have a friend connection there.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Question about Chips in ATM and Bank Cards for travel in the Azores
Question about ATM and Credit Cards. Thank you. But does it need to have a chip? My cards just have a magnetic strip (no chip). I hear a card with a chip is needed throughout Europe. Nancy From: Tomas Leal To: azores@googlegroups.com Cc: Azores Genealogy Sent: Sat, April 6, 2013 11:36:14 PM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Question about Chips in ATM and Bank Cards for travel in the Azores My Bank of the West card has always worked in every ATM in the Azores. I use it to get cash in euros (the daily maximum is 200 euros, regardless of any higher limit your bank might set). It's always been accepted as a credit card when I needed it, though in grocery stores there can be some confusion because "everybody" uses debit cards rather than credit cards. My card is actually a debit card, but I have to treat it as a credit card in such a situation. Before you go, it's always a good idea to notify your bank or credit card company you will be going to Portugal and using your card. Because I go for twelve weeks (I know, lucky me!) I don't want my bank wondering why my card is being used for so long outside the U.S. Fortunately, Portugal is a low-incident of fraud country so there's rarely any problem. In contrast, Brazil is high in fraud and I twice had to call my bank from Rio to question because my card didn't work. The problem was cleared up within five minutes, and I was fine until a few days later because someone at the bank hadn't noted I would be in Brazil for a few weeks. On the second call, everything was fine the rest of the trip.

Eric, I don't have any of the other names you mentioned. In 1829, the Vicar of the church Nossa Senhora da Piadade was Monsignor Manuel Fernandes Pitta. In 1910, when they got off the ship Romanic, Joao Pitta and Manuel Gomes were living in the same house in Taunton, Mass. They may have been related or not. In 1910, Joao was 39, Manuel was only 16. On the same ship, same date with them is Manuel Ignacio who listed his father in Canhas as Manuel Pitta Ignacio. I have a Carolina de Jesus born 1867 in Canhas but she wasn't a Pitta.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Trip - Cousins Found
Lisa, thanks for sharing the cousins found story. I had a similar experience on Sao Miguel last May. Taxi driver found the family name in the village and I met a few cousins and saw the old lava rock home. It was a joyful happy tearful experience for me after searching microfilms for so long for my grandmothers side. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. I also had documentation and pictures with me. Hope you get to go soon. It's so beautiful. Nancy H. From: "lisahb...@aol.com" To: azores@googlegroups.com Sent: Monday, September 2, 2013 7:12 PM Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Trip - Cousins Found Hello Everyone! I gathered some genealogical clues for my uncle who took a trip to the Azores. This is his story which he gave me permission to share. I thought everyone here on the list would enjoy it! It's inspiring me to plan my own trip!!! Lisa Caetano Harley Southern Cal Researching: Topo, Sao Antao and Ribeira Seca on Sao Jorge Piedade, Lajes do Pico on Pico Lisa, We had a great trip ! 13 days in Terceira visiting with Shirley's 7000 cousins and one day in Sao Jorge looking for any relatives I might find. I was concentrating on relatives of Isabella (on the Caetano side) since she stayed in Sao Jorge and the Descendants list you gave us had her husbands name and the names of her 5 children. We went to the Civil Registry office in Angra de Heroismo in Terceira because all of the records for the central group of Azorean Islands are now kept there and are fully computerized. However, since the data we were interested in was old , we could only get it in the Civil Registry in Calheta in Sao Jorge. They did call Calheta and they sent us some information (not much). Through some of the folks on Terceira who knew somebody who knew somebody in Sao Jorge , we arranged for a taxi driver who was originally from the Topo area and was old enough to possibly know many of the families in that area. We flew to Sao Jorge (Velas) , met our driver, Antonio, and took him for coffee at a small café to discuss what we wanted to do . At first, he didn't seem like a very outgoing guy and we were concerned that he wouldn't be as helpful or as interested as we might like to be able to accomplish our mission. He later proved us wrong ! He said that he knew some people in the Topo area with that name. Our first stop after that was the Civil Registry office in Calheta. There were two people working there and no other customers. It was slow at first when we asked for information but after a little bit (we showed them the 2 old family photos which I figured were from 1894 and 1914) they really got into it and were whipping out old tattered books and and getting pretty excited looking for Goncalves family information. They found information starting from Isabella's children down (4 of the five were deceased (no surprise there) and we ended up with some information about Isabella's grandchildren, and where they might live. At that point, our driver said that he thought he knew one of them. By that time, we had been there about 40 minutes to an hour or so. So we drove to Santo Antao (which looked like the end of the world to me) and our driver stopped at a small store (really small) to ask a guy he knew about the family. The road at the corner was Canada de Castanha mentioned in the death certificate for my great grandmother, Victorina. The man said that the house was still there but uninhabited. He also told us where to find one of Isabella's grandsons. We walked up the road and took a picture of the old, small house . There was a cow in front and I looked in the windows but couldn't see much but Shirley took some pictures. Then we went to the house where he said the grandson lived. In the Azores, they don't seem to have doorbells so you just stand outside and shout and hope somebody comes out so that's what the driver did and a guy looks out the window and comes outside. We explained who we were and we were looking for possible long-lost relatives. He was skeptical at first but then , after showing him some documents and the pictures of our great grandparents, he became interested. We talked to him at length and found out that he was Angelo Goncalves, son of Jose Silveira Goncalves , son of Isabel. He is 72 years old, but he looked young, like in his late 50s, a nice-looking guy, short and was friendly once we established our relationship. His wife had passed away and he lived with his son in a small but modern-looking house. As we were talking, his son came home for lunch – he is a bombeiro (fireman). He's a handsome-looking fellow, tall and dark and quite friendly also. His name is Antonio Goncalves. We took pictures and then Angelo told us where his sister Natalia lived up the road a piece. Went there, our driver Antonio shouted again at the door and

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Nordestinho, Sao Miguel
Hello Nancy, my grandmother went under the name Nicolina Moniz Couto, born 1891 in Nordestinho. She came to New Bedford about 1907. Her birth record shows her father as Francisco Moniz Furtado Jr. (not Couto) from Nordestinho, for her mother it shows Maria da Luz (Franco) from Mosteiros, Sao Miguel. Further back, Francisco Moniz Furtado (Sr) and Anna Jacinta Pimentel, also Joao Luz Franco de Medeiros and Rosa Pacheco.Going back to her parents marriage records, it shows Couto, not Furtado.Mosteiros is on the other side of the island.
