[AZORES-Genealogy] Ancestry request

[Pat Frade]

I have finally found a way to request that the Azores Islands microfilms be 
scanned/indexed and made available on Ancestry. Cheri and Rosemarie - we love 
you and all you do for us. If Ancestry would do this, it would make Azores 
Genealogy so much easier. I would ask that everyone on this list make a 
request, let Ancestry know that those islands have information that many of us 
want/need. They probably think they are so small, but we want the information 
in an easier format!!!

Go to: 
https://support.ancestry.com/kA21500QEDU?name=Providing-feedback-about-Ancestry-1460088569413&language=en_US&fromCase=<https://support.ancestry.com/kA21500QEDU?name=Providing-feedback-about-Ancestry-1460088569413&language=en_US&fromCase=1>

Click on the Suggestion box

Click on Historical record collections

Type a request.
Here is my request: I am very interested in having the microfilms from the 
Azores Islands scanned and indexed so they are available on Ancestry. I belong 
to a Google Group--Azores Genealogy and there are many in the group that are 
active in Azores Genealogy. We have yearly conferences where we are taught how 
to read the old priest's handwriting. It would make a huge different for all of 
us if these records could be scanned and index. I pray that this request may be 
considered. Thank you so much!

If everyone would make a request, it may help our cause.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Microfilms discontinued

[Pat Frade]

Please refer to this article: the microfilms are being discontinued.

https://familysearch.org/blog/en/microfilm-distribution-discontinued-august-31-2017/

>From my last post a few months ago, I think Rosemarie said that the microfilms 
>are on disc. I think they need to be index so they can be put online and 
>searchable (that is the key word).

I would ask Cheri or Rosemarie to call the SLC Family History Library and ask 
the Portuguese Librarian to set up a time at the conference where we could meet 
together (maybe right after dinner) where questions can be asked/answered.

My understanding is very basic - but I am really pushing for these records to 
be indexed. What that mean - and please verify this with the librarian - we 
wouldn't necessarily need to learn to read the old Portuguese script. We could 
type in a name, and the image will come up along with the "transcribe" 
information. I just looked up a name in FamilySearch - the name was Helen 
Evans, residence in California, and the top result was a census record, on the 
right side is the original document, and on the left side is the transcribe 
infor. On Ancestry you get the transcribed information, or it may look for a 
name in a document (like a newspaper).

The documents would have to be indexed (transcribed) by a person, I have seen 
it done. There is an army of people who are indexing records - my neighbor was 
working on the WWII veterans records. We just need to know IF the Azorean 
records have been indexed, if not where are they in the queue and if they are 
in the queue how many petitions would it take to move it forward.

Let's talk more at the conference.

Great idea Nancy Jean! Rosemarie, if you wouldn’t mind giving the dates and

Nancy & Marilyn,

Maybe Marilyn and I will be able to find the connection once we meet in SLC. I 
connect with quite a few of Marilyn's people so we have a good chance of making 
the connection! So sorry that we can't all be together but, as you say, maybe 
next time. Marilyn, would you write to me at 
rcap...@gmail.com<mailto:rcap...@gmail.com>? I was thinking of bringing some of 
the old National Geo's that have articles about the Azores/Portuguese but don't 
want to carry them, maybe mail them to you to bring???

[AZORES-Genealogy] Fajanzinha, Flores

[Pat Frade]

*If you don't have a Fajanzinha, Flores line, you may delete now.

Thanks to George Pacheco, he found 4 generations for me.  And since the village 
of Fajanzinha is fairly small, I thought there maybe I could find someone 
distant cousins on this list. So if you have a Fajanzinha line, drop me an 
email and let's compare notes.
Here are a few names: Frade, Henriques, Machado, Fraga, Avelar.

Thanks,

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Henriques in Fajazinha, Flores

[Pat Frade]

Katharine-
Here is my Henriques line (from Fajazinha):
Ana Tomasia Henriques (1882-1961)
Father was: Manuel Maria Henriques (1831-1870)
And his father was Manuel Joaquim de Fraga

I have no idea how Fraga turned into Henriques.

Ana Tomasia Henriques had 3 brothers: Antonio, Jose, and Joao.

Repost for Katharine Baker:

To my considerable dismay, I've begun concluding that there may have been 2
HENRIQUES lines in Fajãzinha -- or at least that their common ancestor goes
very far back -- because thus far I've been unable to connect my line to
anyone else's with whom I've communicated on the matter. Has anyone else
had that experience as well? Katharine.

Could you tell me any children of the 1st two names (Jose & Maria)? I will look 
at my information tonight and see if those name are part of my genealogy. It 
makes it hard when so many people have the same name, but those 1st two names

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Conference in Salt Lake City in June - RESERVE YOUR ROOM NOW!

[Pat Frade]

I "think" they rehearse on Thursday nights for their Sunday morning program. If 
I hear different I will let you know.
Pat


And also, I don't remember what night it is but you can go and watch
the Tabernacle Choir practice, for free, at one of the buildings in
the square and it is just SUPER!  Wish I were going again but family
commitments make it impossible.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] The Granite Mountain Records Vault

Cheri,
I'm not up on genealogy, but I know they plan to digitize all the films. May I 
suggest that when you are in Salt Lake for the workshop, maybe you could find 
out when the Azores films will be done - or maybe we could all request that 
they be given a "higher" priority. That would help many of us!
