I am a direct descendant of Ponte in Povoacao. I am still researching this

João,

you will have to ask them, there are contacts at CCA site for that! I just
spotted the lack of a / where there was a 7 in the link!

I suspect you must use some kind of script to crawl their servers, and
that's why you detect the errors, webdesign is not my strongest but I am
into computer "business" as well for a few years.

Cheers

Hello Mary,

I've been there two months ago, everything just like Antonio wrote, except
I got one computer free :-)  I even payed in advance and made the list of
files at home and they send it to my email, "no sweat"!

I can only add that they don't let us see the books anymore. Last time I
had the books in my hands was 2012! Unless you want to see other than the
Parochial Records, those I don't know! "Cartão de Leitor" is only when you
want to take books home "rented"

Cheers

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Santo Espirito - Marriages (1708-1751)

2014-04-08 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Thank you JR,

many of those names I have seen when looking for more connections with
Balthazar Gomes + Izabel da Fonte. I found a death certificate that seems
to be this Balthazar (1712) and it says, for the first time in my direct
line ancestors, he is from Matriz (Vila do Porto) and that, if its really
him, gives me another chance.

In the Carlos Machado notes, that Hermano pointed, it looks that even
Carlos Machado had difficulty do connect that Baltazar and Izabel to the
rest of the notes. Although a bit confused, there are a few names I have
found some kind of connection with Balthazar, marriages and births being
Balthazar and Izabel the parents.

But with out the marriage I can't be sure of nothing because there are many
similar names. I have no choice but to keep "digging"! Who in this list has
"da Fonte" from Santa Maria and if this "da Fonte" has converted to "de
Fontes" could tell me something about it!

Thanks to all

Thanks Cheri,

I believe this is the end for me, he is the only first name Balthazar 20 to
25 years back of his son born in 1707, I saw the hole period and there a
lot we can't read at all!

Bottom Right, 5th record.

I'm off to Death Records to see if I find him there and see at least who he
married with.

Cheers

2014-04-05 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Thank you all,

Doug, that is my plan, that takes time! I was just "jumping" from
generation into generation, backwards, just to see where I could go in the
"backbone" of the tree, sem olhar para os "galhos" but I know I have a lot
of work! Some of the branches I "caught" along the way were pure luck ;-)

Thank you Nancy, I will eventually some day, "dig" the hole Island I am
aware of that, we might cross in to Cabral one day, I have it from both
Paternal and Maternal side.

Cheri, I can see that now for my unhappiness, and yes I already know that I
will have to read some of those books. I also read that Velho Arruda wrote
a good one, being from Santa Maria, maybe he got those books in better
conditions, I don't know. I am curious when did these books deteriorated, I
can tell you one thing, humidity in these Islands can be a "killer" for
just about anything you can think of, specially electronics!

Thank you Manoel, I will consider that in the future to see if I connect
there!

Obrigado Hermano, é curioso esse "material" andava no CCA e eu nao sabia!
Muito Bom!! It seams that he got the same doubts I have, I know I wont find
proof considering the deterioration of he books, but I still have hope in
the birth records to get more info as they go back a little bit more than
the marriages!

Obrigado a todos!

Hello Nancy,

thank you for your input, where was that marriage of 1657? Santo Espirito
or Vila? I am focused on the straight line for now just to see where I can
go but I also have Mello, Carvalho and of Course Chaves that I found out it
came from a marriage of my 5th Grandfater, and a few others that I will
"dig" with time!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Santo Espirito - Marriages (1708-1751)

2014-04-04 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hello group,

I believe i am at the end of the rope for my biggest sadness, and
suspecting that the marriage of Baltazar (Balthazar) Gomes and Mariana
(Marianna) Melo (Mello) somewhere between 1725-1740, is gone! In the
beginning of the CCA BOOKS 1731 there are five pages missing, other I just
cant read, impossible,

http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMA-VP-SANTOESPIRITO-C-1731-1751/SMA-VP-SANTOESPIRITO-C-1731-1751_item1/P3.html

not to mention that the hole period of marriages 1708-1751 are (were)
really in bad shape. In the periods I have been searching I found few
"Balthazar" Gomes, not many, I know mine was born in 1707, I got his birth
record, but I am starting to believe that these are all from the same
"prole", but I might be wrong.

There is a Balthazar Gomes Moura, a Balthazar Gomes Velho and a couple more
I cant remember. I found in one of my Balthazar Gomes's grandson's birth
record that the vicar wrote down his name as Balthazar Gomes Freitas, but
having 3 of his son's birth records, death record and birth record only as
Gomes an not Gomes Freitas, is confusing me quite a bit.

The father of my Balthazar is also Balthazar Gomes and mother Izabel da
Fonte. I will dig into the birth records, backwards, to see If I'm lucky. I
found from a search on the web there is a lady that has some of these Gomes
in her Genealogy, it s blog, I can't remember the site I believe she has a
link there to this group so I wonder if she is here. I notice she got
marriages prior to 1708, for some of these Gomes, how?

I am reaching the stage where probably many of you with much more
experience have been as well, what next? I wonder why Santo Espirito
Marriages ends in 1708 and Birth records go up to 1671? or Vila to 1630?

Thank you all

JR,

thank you, I am stuck in 1750 looking for my direct line of the Chaves
(Carvalho, Mello and Freitas) branch. Records of Santo Espírito are really
in bad shape. In São Pedro, my mother's line is Cabral, which I expect to
trace as well way back as possible :-)

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] there is no "DE Something" surnames in portuguese

2014-04-02 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi Herb, if I said any other way I didn't mean it, yes I loose myself in
writing sometimes, but the issue here is only spelling, converting names,
and tracking that back will be difficult if one doesn't know that,
(Example) Sousa, de Sousa or DeSousa is in most cases the same thing! And I
also wanted to understand why that happens there!

And I am here to learn and share as well, and I did, example, I didn't know
what you all referred to as a "Brick Wall" and now I do :-) and I hope I
never "hit" one!

Cheers

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Still Looking for.Joseph Silva, Born 1830, I believe Flores. Went to boston, then came to Australia in 1855.

2014-04-01 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Lyn,

I found these records in Flores. I don't know if you can read them but
there is one very  very close of what you wrote. The only question is if
read somewhere he was actually "Filho de pais não sabidos" then none of
these will serve you, but if that's not the case and you simply don't know
his parents name, and he is Silveira, then there was a very close one.
Around the dates you wrote these are the closest "Josephs" I found.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Question on first name

2014-04-01 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi Maria,

Florencia Roza, daughter of Jose Francisco de Rezendes and his legitimate
wife Engracia Roza (you can also find Engracio for male)

Flora, Florbela, Florença, Florencia, Florentino, Floriana, Floripes,
Florisa, Florisbela, Florival, Florentina, and Florinda are all common here!



Cheers

2014-04-01 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Lyn, what is Jose's last name, I realized you don't know his parents names
and that's what your looking for.

Is it SILVA or SILVEIRA? Silvaria could be a name but I believe is a
misspell. A very common name in Central Group and Western Group is
SILVEIRA, and of course Silva.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] there is no "DE Something" surnames in portuguese

2014-03-31 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi,

all that is called evolution! It has been "happening" here as time goes by!
I sure would find awkward if my name was Xaves instead of Chaves or Joseph
instead of José, or Joachim instead of Joaquim, etc.

 If you are registered with a prefix in your name, you cannot simply decide
to "throw" it away. I am DA PONTE CHAVES, and legally in Portugal, DA PONTE
is part of my grandfather's surname.

To be able to sign my name with out the prefix "DA" I had to request that
to "Registo" Civil, and ONLY in the signature, not in the government
system, Da is still part of my name in the ID card.

For those who have born, I would say, in the past 100 years, and their
parents chose to remove the prefix from their inherited names, will
continue to be a Chaves or Sousa etc. even with out it, the prefix was
there for ages.

Portuguese is an evolution of Latin as you probably all know, and names, or
should I say, surnames, either than those from royalty, also have certain
origins. Don't have for granted that for example "Jon doe da Fonte" 400
years ago an ascendent of Jon doe de Fontes" 200 years later.

PS: Cheri, there people here still using their original ascendent names,
including Mello with 2 L! :-)

Thank you JR, I was wrong, I said window of 1780-1800 but that's my
estimated period of his son's birth, Manuel Mello.

So I think Balthazar Gomes is at least 20 years earlier.

Gomes is not a very common surname in Santa Maria Island. I have an
impression that he might be from some other place.

Anyway, thank you for your help

Cheers

Hello Group,

I would like to let you know, specially the ones mentioning a Mello lineage
from Sao Miguel, that following my direct line, as once already wrote, went
from Chaves to Carvalho and then to Mello. Well, next generation changes
again! Which is GOMES. The father of my Manuel Jose de Mello is *Balthazar
Gomes!!!* Has anyone came across this "fellow" I would say between 1780 -
1800 ?

Cheers

[AZORES-Genealogy] Santa Maria Island - Parochial Records

2014-02-26 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hello group, in special the "Cagarros" :-)

Here is the table of what CCA has for Santa Maria:

There are five Parishes (Freguesias) in Santa Maria, although Almagreira is
a young Parish, they have books for "Nossa Senhora do Bom Despacho".

*Vila do Porto - Santa Maria*

*Nossa Senhora da Assunção*   (Vila do Porto, also know as Igreja Matriz)
 - 1599 - 1911
It seams that because of the deterioration of some books, they started from
1630, I'm just guessing, by the aspect of their first published book.

*Santa Bárbara* (Santa Bárbara) 1640 - 1911

*Nossa Senhora da Purificação* (Santo Espírito) 1671 - 1911

*São Pedro*  (São Pedro) 1670 - 1911

*Nossa Senhora do Bom Despacho* (Almagreira) 1903 - 1911
*Prior to 1903 records are in Assunção* - Vila do Porto, where Almagreira
was part of it, but in the records, Nossa Senhora do Bom Despacho is many
times mentioned as their birth place, etc.

*Note: *In some cases, or all, the record books may still not be available
to CCA up to 1911, hopefully they will be "collected" from the churches (if
any) when available, its a gradual process with some "rules". This
information was given to me in 2009 by BPARPD.

A good link for Wikipedia with extensive work about ALL Igrejas, Capelas
and Ermidas of Santa Maria.

the newest one is Almagreira, and there are a few online books already,

And those are the only Parishes online for now.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Meaning of "Cabouquiero" and "Proprietero"

2014-02-15 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hello group,

there are no mines in Azores, no coal, iron, gold (I wish) diamonds, or any
other material, besides CAL (Calcarium) at piratically ground level, done
in some of the Islands, including Santa Maria.

In my first post, i think is what they are referring to a man who works
with a hoe. These people or were Cabouqueiro, Pescador, Maritmo,
Trabalhador, Seareiro, Jornaleiro, Camponez, Camponeo, etc. are ALL poor
people with very few resources who work land, from sun to sun "Sol a Sol"

Proprietário, in general, is a man who owns land, and pays, or not, people
to work it, some payed rent with work or part of their crop.

There is also a possibility, of a man, today called CALCETEIRO, who laid
stone bricks on roads "CALÇADA", he could be one of those, the Cabouqueiro!

Cheers

:) Hacker! hehe! Sorry, its funny! Maria, Cabouqueiro could be a man who
works on lands with a hoe! Proprietario is Owner. They were classified as
someone who owned the lands!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Need help with Faial parish name

Thank you all, specially Dano! I've said many times, I am here to learn.

Rodney, all I wanted to say in my very first post, was that your search IN
CCA should be São Miguel - Povoação - Faial da Terra! Your record is from
1747, and Água Retorta ends in 1768, and Rick saw that as well!

My apologies for being "short" on that one!

Good luck

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] CARVALHO - Santa Maria Island - Santo Espirito

2014-02-08 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hello,

*Tish M,*

*First:* I'm very happy to see active Santa Maria researchers in the group.
Angela Loura is also from Santa Maria! I notice you're researching Santa
Barbara, so am I, on FREITAS, my mother's side!

*Second:* Overwhelmed with your good will, by sending me this record. Yes I
have everything to believe Jose Antonio Carvalho is my Tetraavo's brother,
I have this record, but I thank you very much anyway.

*Third:* I asked Rick about Mello, because I saw Jose's grandparents in the
book at the library, but in those days I didn't have that much experience
and knowledge as today, result of many and many and many books I have seen
and also a lot of information about my ancestors, through my family.

My Dad is very skeptic about this hole "de Mello" story, lol! He is 65, and
he doesn't like the Idea that we should be Mello, or Carvalho, and not
Chaves LOL... But I am getting him around slowly!

*Richard,*

have we talked about Pimentel in the past? I believe we did. I have been
trying to addict my wife into Genealogy lately, because I started her tree
as well in the past, but mine has become so much time consumption that I
put hers on standby. She has Pimentel from Achada - Nordeste. But lets
leave that to another related thread!

*John*

thank you for your input. I haven't reached there yet, I wish I get there,
but I'm a bit of "small step" of a time, I don't like to step ahead, I
always check everything carefully and then when I am sure and have all the
info in my database, then I move on!

Hello Rick,

I wonder, have you found any de Mello in between those Carvalho, before
1800 ? Through all this family root journey, I have found that my ancestors
came from and went to Santa Maria, sometimes three generations difference.

Don't ask me why but probably in the pursuit of a better life, work
perhaps, or maybe because one or another knew their grandfather or more
distant, came from there, OR, from here, Sao Miguel!

It would not be a surprise at all that once again, my Carvalho lineage came
from Sao Miguel, or those from Bretanha, were actually from there, Santa
Maria. This I already confirmed with my Resendes lineage.

Three generations back, they were all born in Santo Antonio, Ponta Delgada,
but the fourth, came from Santa Maria. Imagine if they had an airport!!
Until now I am still int the Eastern Group, I wouldn't be surprised sooner
or later I will end up in another Island, rather than Sao Miguel or Santa
Maria.

Thank you for your input Rick!

Cheers

[AZORES-Genealogy] CARVALHO - Santa Maria Island - Santo Espirito

2014-02-08 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hello researchers,

I would like to know if anyone in the group is researching CARVALHO in
Santa Maria. I am connected to one of the branches of these families. If
anyone is and already had a connection to them prior 1842 and may be
connected to Antonio Joaquim de Carvalho married to Umbelina Maria de
Chaves, from Nossa Senhora da Gloria, Santo Espirito, church of Nossa
Senhora da Purificacao, and would like to share information with me, please
send me an email.

I don't have dates, I just took some notes from one of their children who
is my tetravo Bernardino. I have recently researched marriages from 1820 to
1850 and I couldn't find them. I was a bit in a hurry and I may have
skipped a name or two, I will check the books again soon, hopefully!

Thank you so much

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Portuguese words for blessing

2014-02-05 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi Chery,


I remember in the old days, my grandparents showing us grandchildren a
"weird face" if we forgot to ask them for their blessing. We don't hear it
so often today, but is still common in some more rural places. It was also
a sign of respect!

In some kind of "slang" one of the most common expressions was "Vó Bença"
which was a request, correctly written as "Avó a sua Benção" and the reply
would be, from the grandparent, "Deus de Abençoe". Was used also with
parents, and uncles, etc. Specially in those families who took religion
more serious.

In English, "Please you blessing" and "God bless you"

There are many variants of this tradition, depending on the Island maybe,
or even village and age of generations, this is the one I was raised with.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: CCA mix up

2014-02-04 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Joao,

CCA http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/ is based in Terceira,
Viaoceanica is a Terceira Company. Your archive links were developed by a
company that uses opensource solutions, I'm sure you can find them quite
easily.

This company's work was ordered by http://www.bparpd.azores.gov.pt/ and I
believe that interface you say its powerful was discontinued, and upgraded
to another platform. That costs money...etc..etc..

I will not continue because this is not what is in question, in my opinion.
I'm not into into politics. I'm into genealogy. As Angela said and very
well, its taking a long time, and this has been a "well spanked horse" in
this group, people don't work for free, and what CCA is offering online is
still in progress...

I read somewhere in this group someone saying that started genealogy where
there wasn't even Internet here, and said what I am trying to say, which is
basically this: "Are you studding your family roots? Or are you trying to
sell something?"

Well, I'm studding my family roots, simply for the love of it!

last 2 cents on this one!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Question on occupation of padrinho

2014-01-16 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Maria,

in general, parents would choose for their children Godparents, someone
with a higher status, sometimes of their own family, other not. You will
notice that was common the more you see baptism records. In the most cases,
you will see only the Godparents signatures together with the vicars.
Having said that, and together with your information, all points that he
was educated. And yes, his handwriting is/was "gorgeous" I must say,
comparing to many I have had nightmares to decipher!!

Hello,

I also read ESCREVENTE, and for what I've read, he may have been some kind
of  typewriter (datilografo), in this case, as you mentioned, a Scribe, I
don't think there were typewriter machines in 1879, in Azores! He could
sign his name, besides the vicar, he is the only signature in the bottom of
the record.

Good Luck

[AZORES-Genealogy] USA Online Records

2014-01-10 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi All,

in your opinion, what is the most affordable online record archive in the
United States? I need to make several Marriage and Death inquiries and just
checked www.archives.com that looks nice and clean and has a one year
subscription for 30$.

I am looking for a Manuel Rocha that according to his birth record was
married in Fall River in 1910. Looks like he his a brother of my G G
Grandfather.

What are your suggestions? I know there are probably hundreds of sites
offering these services, like ancestry.com, family-search and so on, I
wonder if there are some free governmental services, similar to CCA?

cheers

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ROCHA - Santo Antonio Alem Capelas

2014-01-10 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Thank you all for input,

I'm aware of the phonetic sound, I live here and deal with it everyday, [?] also
muito obrigado Joao S. Lopes, what you say makes a lot of sense, I have
found in the same book, same year, different vicars spelling same words in
two or more different ways. As Doug said I believe they didn't all follow
same rules!

I have found more and more, as I go back in time, archaic words. Sometimes
the problem is not the way they write but their calligraphy... I am getting
there besides the difficulties, feels good having a intense paleography
course reading back, year after year, and being able to identify more
easily now what they are saying.

I would not be surprised if I find my name with Xaves instead of Chaves.

Words like "Foy" meaning "Foi" = Was, are more often found prior 1850 as I
am experiencing now, Gayle. I actually saw a Maxado as well, looking for my
line of Rocha.

Cheri, I can perfectly imagine what these ascendants have gone trough,
believe me. I have known people still alive who told me stories about how
hard it was, people who remember that their humble poor houses had a floor
of "Terra Batida" and much more!

Thank you all

[AZORES-Genealogy] ROCHA - Santo Antonio Alem Capelas

2014-01-09 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Dear researchers, happy new year!


Doug Holmes, have you ever found any of your ROCHA spelled ROXA?

I am having some doubts about my lineage. There are a few Rocha in Santo
Antonio, several different lines but with same names. It happens that in
1879 my GG Grandfather was known as Manuel da Rocha, but 16 years earlier,
it is known as Manuel da Roxa!

Also in one year he is known as a farmer (camponez) and 16 years later a
fisherman (pescador or maritimo). If you, Doug, or anyone out there
researching these Rocha, please let me know if its normal Rocha being
spelled Roxa in earlier 1800's.


Cheers to all

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Santa Barbara cemetery in Povoacao

2013-12-19 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi Joe,

I think you should start by looking into:

Sao Miguel -- Povoacao -- Matriz da Mae de Deus (filter sequence at CCA)

-Santa Barbara cemetery is part of the Chapel (Ermida) of Santa Barbara, at
Morro Alto.

-Morro Alto is part of Freguesia da Povoacao, elevated to Vila in 1839.

-Povoacao is part of the Council of Povoacao and the church (Padroeira) is
Nossa Senhora da Mae de Deus.

Inside the domain of the Freguesia of Povoacao (Church Mae de Deus) you
will find also these places: Morro, Lomba do Cavaleiro, Carro, Botão, Pomar
e Pós.

Pay special attention if in the records the vicar mentions Lomba do Carro,
because that's where the cemetery is, and its called Cemetery of Santa
Barbara.

Good luck. Cheers

Hello Doug,

I have written that exactly, but probably with different words in one of
the latest posts about this issue. Maybe the post was to long and some got
scared to read it [?] . I mentioned we have spoke before through your
website, some years ago when I was starting my roots' investigation. I live
here Doug, in Azores and I believe for some non residents this hole system
may be quite confusing.

As CCA is organizing the filters at their website using the civil and
actual system, there are a few Civil Parishes, exactly as Joao Ventura
already explained, they must use their official names, and in this case
there are a few called Matriz (adopted from the leading church, where it
stands today), in Azores. Because of that and because CCA had a few other
places (Catholic Parish Names) mentioning Matriz, as what they were in the
past, as you just said, some people will easily be confused, specially
those who know very little about the geographic and territorial
organization of Azores, today AND in the past. If I see Matriz mentioned,
in a Freguesia that has another name, Example, Mae de Deus, Povoacao, it
makes no difference to me, but yes its confusing to who doesn't know why or
where.

>From what I have learned now, as you say, its much easier to know what
Island our ancestors came from, then the council. I have checked several
websites, with archives and documents related to genealogy and not only,
where the the system is indexed, allowing researchers to search for NAMES
or PLACES, etc. The Government of Madeira seams to be doing a good effort
going into this direction, you can check it here
http://www.arquivo-madeira.org/pesquisa/baptismo/ .  One thing a few
already have mentioned is that the majority of the US research websites,
like acenstry.com and many more, are PAYED services. CCA is not, but these
systems, whether good or not so good, have costs and are being given free
access for free.

I am connected to computer/networking business, and I have a good idea of
how much time, money and resources, these online archives may take to ho
ever is responsible for it, and because I have spent many hours in Ponta
Delgada, reading record books, I am quite happy, and I can imagine you all
who do not live here, with what they have now. About consistency, yes I
agree with Cheri and others, the filters should follow only one criteria
and I think they are fixing that.

PS: Doug, I love the old pictures in your website, I'm a big fan of such
priceless, also, records. Images of our ancestors, for those who are lucky
to have them, are a "Cherry of top of the cake" for all genealogists!

Cheri I know what you mean. Still, I have read some bits, I'm still
learning, that since the beginning of times, in the Azores, or should  I
say, Portugal, many names and localities changed over the years. I don't
think it would be a good Idea that CCA would create different databases for
each of them.

Doug is right, but I can understand someone that is not native Portuguese
and does not have your experience, Cheri or Doug, will struggle to figure
where the churches are or were!

Matriz for me has two very distict meanings, or it is a Freguesia or it is
a "headquarters" Church in the past, but all Churches have their Saints'
name.

Doug, I beleive we have spoke before, I am back in "business" since this
last summer, after a long time pause. I made small steps on Rocha and I am
waiting for CCA to fix some Santo Antonio PDL year periods to keep on going.

very late here "signing" off, cheers to all

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: CCA

2013-12-17 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Cheri,

I believe in Faial, Concelho da Horta, Matriz will stay in the filters
simply because it is a Civil Freguesia. Ribeira Grande well. I think Joao
Ventura mentioned this, they are following the actual territory civil
divisions. Example:

Ilha de Sao Miguel -- Concelho de Ponta Delgada - Freguesia de Santo
Antonio, which in my opinion should be only Santo Antonio, because I think
the "Alem Capelas" is no longer considered.


Ilha de Sao Miguel -- Concelho da Ribeira Grande - Freguesia de Matriz (I
believe this will be the correct option)

I see your point and also agree with you that other than the Freguesias
called Matriz, they should remove the word Matriz if its not a Civil
Freguesia.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] CCA site

2013-12-15 Thread Ricardo Chaves
I live in Sao Miguel, I have done research *inloco* several times. I have
had, in my hands, perfectly well preserved books, and also, some in very
delicate state of deterioration. I have sent several emails to CCA
administration and for what I understand, the conditions of these books
ALSO contribute to what ever policy of priority they are following, to the
online publication.

My most recent email response from the CCA administration, in other words,
last week, was that they are just finishing Ponta Delgada (and I am
anxiously waiting for Sao Vicente) and will do their best to make Santa
Maria available as soon as possible, Island where I am from, and where my
direct line (Chaves) is from. I have done some extensive research in CCA,
in these books already.

"...ter reparado, estamos em vias de conclusão do concelho de Ponta
Delgada, um dos maiores dos Açores, *com milhares de imagens*. Vamos fazer
os possíveis para que a disponibilidade dos registos de Santa Maria
decorrem com a maior brevidade possível." (I underlined and balded
"thousands of images")

Santa Maria has FIVE parishes, Vila do Porto, Santa Barbara, Santo
Espirito, Sao Pedro and the youngest parish is Almagreira, and the periods
within the records are, 1599 to 1906, 1640 to 1906, 1671 to 1906, 1670 to
1906 and 1903 to 1906, respectively. Some parishes are or were mentioned as
"Matriz" (Matrix), and I believe this is because from all churches in one
"Concelho", and I would call it in English, a kind of County, this was the
most important, or the "Leading" church. As time went by, some of these
places ended up adopting this name as the name of the Parish itself.
Example, Ribeira Grande, where I live, has today a Freguesia named Matriz,
and the Church is Nossa Senhora da Estrela.

Santa Maria Island also has a "Matrix Church" Padroeira Nossa Senhora da
Assuncao, ans also known as Matriz, and the parish, today Freguesia, is
Vila do Porto. I think I am explaining correctly. All this to say that
researchers here, specially the non native or with very few knowledge of
how these "Counties" were organized, should keep in mind that its better to
have a good understanding of the Azores Geography and then think about the
names of the churches, because you will find "Padroeiras" with the same
name in different places inside the same Island, or not, and also in
different islands.

Governmental territory organization is or are, young systems, before church
had a lot of power over it. Many younger "Freguesias" today, were nothing
but a LOGAR, today written, LUGAR, a word that some of you may have read
hundreds if not thousands of times. These Lugares (places) may very well be
today a Freguesia, and in some cases, you will NOT find any records prior
1911 online because they are in the village next to it, which governed it,
and the record books will tell you that. Example, check Achada - Nordeste
to look for places of Santana - Nordeste, like Feteira, also know as
Feteira Grande and Feteira Pequena, where today is a Freguesia and in the
books, Santana is a parish, or Church's Padroeira. So on, and so on.

I have seen AzoresGenWeb some time ago, and has good info, and I would
suggest also that everyone should start by knowing which Island (we are
nine) is your ancestor coming from, then what Concelho (I would call it
County) then Freguesia and I would call it Parish, then think about the
Padroeiras, those are the Saints' names the people (povo) would choose, for
many endless reason, to "baptize" the church. And as I wrote before, some
ended being chosen to be the today's name of the Freguesia.

Before you may start correcting me [?] remember please I am not an English
native writer or speaker, I was born and always lived in Azores, so my
apologies for any confused sentence, but please feel free to do so, I am
here to learn.

Regarding CCA, I don't have a clue how they are doing it, but I can
perfectly imagine its a very dedicated job to do. And yes I am also
impatient about Santa Maria, and for all that I have read, I better start
planing new visits to CCA.

Hi Sam,

thank you, I lost a few posts, to be honest, following posts in groups is
not my strongest. I will read and check more about the DNA tests, I've seen
a few posts of Cheri about it. You will be surprised (like I was already)
when you suddenly find out that your ancestors "jumped" to another Island
three or four generations back! Having both of us several family names in
common I wouldn't be surprised if we are connected.

a good journey as well to you

John, Alda,

before 1900, I am almost sure everyone was born at home! I was born in
Santa Maria in 74 but my youngest sister, in 1988, was born in Sao Miguel
and registered in Santa Maria. Yes there was a time where children were
being registered in Sao Miguel, when they should be registered in Santa
Maria. Old policies! Now only Ponta Delgada's Hospital, has conditions, so
they say, to assist birth, so everyone comes from Santa Maria, a few weeks
earlier for that, a few days later they go back, as far as I know they are
all being registered in Santa Maria.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Tavares / Resendes (Santo Antonio Alem Capelas)

2013-12-04 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi Sam,

his name was Jose Tavares Resendes, and this great grandaunt from whose
descendants, I am trying to find, was his sister. All I could find out for
now is that she married a man from Santa Maria but she was born in Santo
Antonio Alem Capelas. Her brother, my Great Grandfather, was born in Santo
Antonio Alem Capelas in 1900 and she was older than him. All I know is that
she was called Maria and that she married this man from Santa Maria and
could have taken his surname, Furtado. I don't have a clue yet if there was
any Rego in this line of ascendants. I don't know much about DNA tests, I
don't live in the US, I live in Azores and I don't think we can do that
here, yet. Santo Antonio Alem Capelas is in the Island of Sao Miguel, on
the North Coast. Santa Maria is the Island next to it, these two are the
western group, in the archipelago, of 9 islands. As far back as I go,
searching for my ancestors, I have notice that 100, 200 and more years
back, there were quite some movement between the Islands. I've read several
records where the baptized child from Sao Miguel, had ancestors of 2nd or
3rd generation, originally from Santa Maria, AND vice versa! If you are
absolutely sure that your Grandmother is born in Santa Maria, then its not
the same person, but if not, Maria Filomena Tavares could very possibly be
her IF she is born before 1900. I can also tell you that Resendes is a
quite common name in Santa Maria Island, and that there is a few lineages
of them in Santo Espirito Parish, and we could have a connection somewhere
via Santa Maria Island, where my direct lineage is from.

Best wishes

what do you mean by Extended family? I tracked my Chaves line, at least
back to 1840's, its a prediction based on the names and generations I
already have, and still Chaves. That doesn't mean it couldn't end in Cabral

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translation Help Please

2011-08-04 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi Sam,

talking with old folks from my wife's village, Santana - Nordeste, I asked
around and also got this other meaning for Ceareiro (Seareiro), a man that
produces wheat only. In other words, this man would have a few lands, owned
or rented and would only produce wheat. Santa Maria used to be called the
"Celeiro de Portugal" Portugal's Silo, as the climate there was and still is
the driest of all Islands, in the old times, wheat was produced all over the
Island in enormous quantities and exported to several countries. A common
sentence around here was "Seara de Trigo" means a wheat field.

regards

2011-08-03 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Sam,

I've done a small research, Ceareiro (most Priests write it down with a C
but you will also find with an S) or Seareiro, are man that use to be
responsible for keeping crops safe (a kind of Silo guards). Look for the
words Silo, Celeiro (Barn), Ceara, Cereais (Cereals) or Seara, Milho (Corn),
Trigo (Wheat), so on.

Campones (in current written portuguese, theres a "hat" on the e - ê its PT
character I don't know if your PC can read it) So this Campones, is a man
that may own small quantities of land or just rent them and produces small
quantities of agriculture products, potatoes, beans, etc.

Lavrador is in general a man that owns cattle or takes care of cattle, not
all Islands had conditions to produce milk, in fact, even today, just a few
have. So some would just produce meat, all in small quantities, usually of
local use or small sale.

I think that in US the word FARMER is used to all activities, here there
were a few, according to each activity, still is.

I use this free software for a few years now as a quick image editor
http://photofiltre.free.fr/ I'm a Photoshop and many more design software
user, for some time, I work with design, image, photography, etc, so I can
affirm that this little program, besides being free and small, is quite
simple and at the same time powerful. Look for Downloads, its available in
several languages.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Traveling to Sao Miguel and looking for family history

2011-08-02 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Hi Charles,

after reading a little better, looks like you were planning to come here
just for the research. Dano is quite right, if you are coming here with the
single purpose of researching, than its very important that you bring as
much information you can, because you will save and need time.

Also it seams you don't know which Island your relatives are from? Cabral is
a common name in Santa Maria, but also in Sao Miguel. I actually have this
name in my mother's lineage, its in my research plans too.

Cheers

Sam,

the files are too small, did you get those, that size, or are you shrinking
them before you send ? At least double the resolution would make them
readable. 1600 pixels of height would do!
