born in another county still searching. I am  looking for birthdates and full 
names on the ones that don't have them.  Alma Arminda SilvaElsie Ruth SilvaMary 
SilvaMary Anne Silva or Children of:John SilvaMarianne SilvaManuel SilvaThe 
children of these persons would have been my grandfathers cousins My 
grandfather is George F Silva born in Santa Clara, Ca. His father is Jorge 
(George) Faustine ilva. His wife is Arminda Aurora Luis. Both were from 
Calheta, Sao Jorge, parish of Santa Catharina. If you need anymore information

 Our FHC is getting rid of several books, one of which is Births of Merced Cnty 
CA 1873--1912. There are many Portuguese names listed. I would be happy to 
check for you (there is a nice index in the back) Listed is child's name, date 
of birth, father, mother (maiden name) and birthplace of parent. Example: 

Book 3, page 166

So, as you can see much more info that on the CA Birth Index.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DNA Relationship of 13 people on list

2014-04-28 Thread Robin Lebo
Sam, 

I read this list all the time. I've done my DNA test for the female line but 
not family finder yet. My mother is a Silva through her father. She is from 
Manteca/Escalon, Calif area. My 2nd great grandmother is Maria Inacia da 
Silveira born in 1853 Calheta, Sao Jorge. Her spouse was Joao Faustino de Luz. 
Her mother (my 3rd great grandmother) was Marianna Inacia Silveira born Aug 26 
1820 Ribeira Seca. Maria's father was Joao Silveira Nunes. Mariana Inacia 
Silveira's parents I have listed as Isabel Silveira s. Pedro and Manuel Michado 
Mendonca Borba. I don't have birth dates for all the parents or grandparents 
yet. I'm a slow reader of the baptism, etc pages. Does any of your Silveira 
line have any of these Silveira names listed? I have my family on 
tribalpages.com. I don't know how to do Gedcom, post my DNA results, or even 
understand them. I saw your post that had Silveira and the correct island so I 
thought I would ask. Thanks for your time.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Avila, Borba, Azevedo, Nunes, Machado from Brazil and Sao Jorge island

2015-02-08 Thread Robin Lebo
I also have ancestors from Sao Jorge. My great grandparents were married in 
St.Catharina church, Calheta. There used to be a big family reunion in Gustine 
my grandfather and his siblings used to go to. My grand father was George Silva 
and his father was Jorge da Silva. Jorge was traveling with cousins who got off 
in Brazil. He continued on to San Fran. He married Arminda Aurora Luis. Jorge's 
parents were Joao Faustino da Luz, His wife was Maria Inacia da Silviera. 
Jorge's three brothers were in Calif eventually.  Joao's mother was Isabel 
Angelica do Coracao de Jesus. No father has been found yet. Arminda Luis 
parents are as follows Manual Luis Sineiro and Maria Isabel Dias. Manual's 
father was Luis Jose Fagundes and his wife was Antonia Jaconta. 
Still researching the lines but I have been told Avila, Bettencourt, Borba, 
Pimental, and a few others are related. I haven't found the connections and my 
mother is starting to forget things. If any lines cross drop me a line.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] (da) Silva, George Faustino, Sao Jorge, Calheta and Luiz(s) from Terciera- California Silvas from Gustine, Merced, Manteca, San Rafael. .

2011-11-21 Thread Robin Lebo
Dear Adair, 
My records are limited to what I have found on websites and what I was told 
which is not much.  I have been searching but there are so many with similar 
names. 

My great grandmother Arminda Aurora Luiz(s)went through Ellis Island. She 
married Jorge Faustino da Silva in the Azores. Sao Jorge, Calheta, Santa 
Catherines(?) in 1906, then she came to America. I have not found the records 
for Jorge, just his citizenship in Calif. It is under George F Silva in San 
Rafael, Ca
My Grandfather, George Faustine Silva was born on Feb 24, 1909 in San Rafael, 
Ca. He was a logger above Sonora before becoming a janitor in the Valley. He 
had a broken back from falling off the tank house as a kid.
Jorge (George) and Arminda eventually had a small dairy in the Merced area. If 
I get that info correct according to my mom. She has talked about other 
properties her Uncles had that are now gone.  My mother, Evelyn, was baptized, 
but the records burned, she had to find the 90 year old priest to confirm it. 
That is on record in Chowchilla's Catholic Church. She was born in a barn on 
the dairy. 
My Great Uncle used to donate the beef for the Manteca Festa years ago. My mom 
was raised in Manteca and Stockton and went to St. Mary's high school in 
Stockton, Ca. I was born in Stockton,  but I grew up in Porterville, Ca. 
I was told there used to be a family gathering every year in Gustine. I have 
old pictures of relatives but I don't know who they are. I never really talked 
to Avo George about his family, never saw cousins. My mom has though. She says 
we are related to Silva, Pimentel, Borba, Luis(z), Diaz. They are cousins she 
says.
 Now I have to put the puzzle together. Hopefully I can find some cousins I 
don't know. I have been taking my Grandfather's siblings and trying to get that 
info because it is all California. That is why I listed them.
 I am starting to chip at the ancestral part that goes back to cousins in New 
Bedford Mass and to the islands. 
Thanks for the contact, 
Robin Lebo

E,
Wow thanks, I had the wrong entry point. I had some census, but not as

Adair, 
I had the port of entry wrong. They both came into New Bedford, Mass in 1906. 
Jorge had been here earlier arriving in 1898.

2011-11-22 Thread Robin Lebo
Dear Marcio,

The George (Jorge) b 1880 married to Arminda was born in the Azores, Sao Jorge. 
He came to America in 1898. He had left the Azores with some cousins. Some of 
those cousins got off in Brazil. Two stayed with him to America. 

My mother remembers an Uncle Manuel and an Uncle John that were his brothers. 
One of them had a wife named Rose. 

George (Jorge) and Arminda's children were the ones to start the Calif line. 

George married Catherine Cook b 1912, Concrete, Wa
Henry married Catherine's sister Nina Jane Cook. He had a son named Henry Jr. 
William married (?) they had a daughter  named Gertrude. She was one of the 
Princesses for the Manteca Festa back in the 50s. 
So I have some of the info on the 9 siblings also. 

Arminda's birth mother Maria d'Asension Diaz died on the boat Manuel Luis(z) 
was Capt. of. At that time the family lived on Terciera. I do not know where 
Arminda was born. 
Manuel took Arminda to Sao Jorge after her mother's death so relatives could 
help raise her. I do not know if he ever remarried. I was told he did this 
after dark because he was the capt of a slave ship.

Marcio, 
Just talked with my mom who called her brother. He said those were the only 
names they know of. So you are probably getting better information. Spelling 
and language are an issue.
I have been watching the videos. They are great.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] transferring genealogy programs

2011-11-30 Thread Robin Lebo
Reading the posts, another site that I use is TribalPages for keeping a copy of 
my family tree. A distant cousin suggested it. I love that I can put notes and 
pictures all together for the person. It is free up to a certain point and 
after that the annual fee is relatively low compared to ancestry.  This is not 
for everyone and others connect it with their FB. It is just another tool. 
I have all my files saved to a memory stick. So far no compatibility issues 
with any computer. I have one I use on trips. I can use it anywhere I go to 
save records on a computer. It just makes it easier for me. If I get a new 
computer I just open and continue on. I have had no file or program issues yet. 
Have never used a Mac. So that might be different. 
I have a couple of programs that I use one is Legacy, but I don't really like 
it. 
A lot of genealogists maybe farther ahead in their knowledge than I am. I just 
thought this might help. 
Blessings to all on their searches.

Dear Gail,

No need for the cemetery to charge you. There is a website that I take pictures 
for of grave sites. It is called 
www.findagrave.com. Look up the cemetery or the person's name to see if it has 
already been done. If not there is a place to send a request. I have my 
ancestors in a virtual cemetery on the site. I manage others I have recorded 
and when the family finds it I give it to them.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Da Silva family on Sao Jorge Island

2012-01-03 Thread Robin Lebo
Adair,

This might be a cousin link somehow.
 I wish my grandmother had let us meet the family and maybe this would really 
not be as tough in trying to find info. 
The Cenus records have my great grandparents in the town of San Joaquin in 1920 
and 1930. They have my great grandmother's name spelled wrong. They have my 
great grandfather and my grandfather's name as Geo Silva. My g uncle is listed 
as Willie Silva. Other names are spelled incorrect at that time as well. 
My mother Evelyn Catherine Silva was born around 1940 in the Manteca area. She 
tells me her grandparents lived out in Merced county, but not specifically 
where. They are buried outside of Escalon.
Her father's birth records are from San Rafael. Her father was a topper for one 
of the lumber companies when she was a child. Do you have any family that 
worked in the lumber industry? 
 I do know that the Silva side of our family would have an annual reunion in 
Gustine every summer. I never attended it though. 
I will go through some of my pictures and see if any have Borba for a name. I 
use Archives.com, so I have the records I have found attached to the person in 
my tree it goes to. 
What sites have you used to get information from Sao Jorge? I use a translator 
on my phone to translate for me. My husband thinks I am crazy to be searching, 
but I am determined to find the line.

2012-01-16 Thread Robin Lebo
To family of Enos, 

There are quite a few buried outside of Stockton, Ca near Escalon, Ca and 
Manteca, Ca. If you go to www.findagrave.com. 
Go to cemetery lookup tab. Enter St.John's Catholic Cemetery in the 
country:USA, state:Ca, county:San Joaquin. I just entered the last name and 
George Enos, John Enos, Maria Enos, Michael Enos to name a few came up. Hope 
this helps in your search. The name of the church beside the cemetery is 
St.Patricks, Hwy 120, the town is either Escalon or Manteca. 

This cemetery has a lot of Portuguese buried there. My grandparents and great 
grandparents (Silva) are buried there. 

Much Success,
Robin Lebo

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Sao Jorge family names

2012-01-21 Thread Robin Lebo
To all,

Talked to my mom about the name issue. She said that Ava Arminda said they 
changed their names on purpose. This may not be for every family, but this is 
what she was told. They were really poor in the Azores, so when they came to 
America they felt rich and they wanted rich names so they changed their names 
to be wealthy Americans. They were so very proud to be called Americans. They 
kept their heritage but the names were changed.  When they went home to visit, 
the family in the village expected them to have a festa. The visitor showed 
their wealth by paying for the festa. We have pictures of an aunt paying for 
her festa. The celebration was a large one.
This is a family story of what was expected. It may not have been that way with 
all families but it might explain some of the name issues. 
I do not understand it, but I don't know all the issues associated with it 
either. 
Hope this helps

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Geneology software

2012-02-13 Thread Robin Lebo
Greetings,
I started with using legacy and I still use it. Thanks to a cousin, I now have 
the family website on tribal pages. It is free up to a certain amount. I have 
yet to reach that limit point. My cousin has 25,000 names so he pays a small 
fee. I can put citations on it as well as pictures. My cousin has a family 
members who served military picture page. It sends out a monthly newsletter and 
I have a guest password for family as well as my own for editing. It does not 
do any research, just the info. My back up is a flash drive. I am still pretty 
new at all this, but for a beginner I really like it. 
There is a lot out there and it gets confusing to me. I feel what I have now is 
working for what I am doing. As the tree grows, I will probably need to make 
changes. It is always a works in progress, just like my garden.

 A recommendation;
Joao just finished obtaining records for me as well. The first steps in 
breaking through my current brick wall. He found exactly what I requested and 
was extremely quick getting my records. I thought it would be slower, like 
those of us in Oklahoma. 
I got a packet today, but have yet to open my mail. ( Not home long enough. My 
son also wrote from boot camp. It's a great day for mail.)
I tried for months to do it myself and got very lost, who went where with what

I highly recommend Joao Ventura.

I used his email in one of his postings on the site. Someone else on the site 
had recommended him.  Once you contact him. He will give you the prices for 
certified copy fees and also his fees. They are reasonable though.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] would they?

2012-08-26 Thread Robin Lebo
Michael,

I have a similar situation with my great grandfather. He came here supposedly 
in 1898. The only vessel for that year is a schooner from his island Sao Jorge 
to Provincetown, Ma. There are names that look like his brothers, but he is now 
where on the list. They are all probably related somehow since it is a small 
island. The lady in New Bedford, Ma helping me said that not all ships 
manifests have been done. We could not find info on the schooner so seeing if 
he was crew has not been found either. We checked other records that say he 
came here in 1898 but they do not record the actual date or how. We checked the 
whale men out of New Bedford he is not there so he did not work in that field. 
The search continues. He is found in 1906 when he brought his new bride here. 
They went to New Bedford. Trying to find out how long they stayed in New 
Bedford and with whom and how they got to California. 
He has a common name as well Jorge Faustino da Silva, 1880-1950 son of Joao 
Faustino da Luz. 
Keep searching it will be found.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translation Help

2012-10-16 Thread Robin Lebo
Dear Eddie,

I have a 3x grandmother named Isabel Angelica do Coracao de Jesus.
Her son was named Joao Faustino da Luz. He was born about 1829. No mention of 
the father.  I just got this information and I have not fully researched all of 
it. This grandmother of mine might be related to your Maria somehow. It might 
be Maria's grandmother's sister something like that. They were from Sao Jorge. 
Please keep me posted with what you find on that side of your family. Have not 
gotten that far. I have been trying to find out how Joao's son Jorge (my great 
grandfather) came to America. I was told he took care of the animals. His boat 
arrived in San Francisco in 1898. He went got his new wife and arrived a second 
time in 1906 in New Bedford. Might have to let it Go for a while and come back 
to it. 
Thanks,
Robin Lebo
