[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Hawaii, Massachusettes, or Brazil
My ancestors came to Brazil from São Miguel, and I know that some of my family's cousins went to Hawaii. This was from the same village. As far as I could tell, it had to do with when they left. They had different waves of immigrations. So, in a certain year, recruiters would come to bring people to Hawaii. When my ancestors left, most people were going to Brazil. Interestingly enough, my ancestors also worked on sugar plantations, but in Brazil.

Hi Edna, Yes, I think this is the same Emilia that married José. All the dates seem to match up. It says that Emilia married José Garcia do Santo(?) in Horta September 7, 1927 and that she passed away in the parish of Castelo Branco in Horta on March 8, 1967.

Present witnesses whom I know to be the same were Francisco Corrêa da Silva, widower, proprietor, and Agostinho de Souza e Mello, married, farmer, both residents in the place called Frutes of this parish.

Yes, I'm aware of the FamilySearch records and that's what I have been using. However, the first marriage book which may have included his marriage is not available (at least online, I will have to check with the Parish in Brazil next time I'm there).

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: RELIGIOUS NAMES
It was usually women showing their devotion to the Virgin Mary. With so many women named Maria, these religious names helped distinguish them from one another. It seems everyone wanted to show religious devotion. These weren't necessarily surnames in the modern sense, but just how the women were known during those times. In some cases, these became de-facto surnames found in modern families of Portuguese descent. I believe that their parents chose the name most of the time, but I've also found some women would change their name over the course of their life so that it wasn't just Maria da Conceição, but sometimes also Maria de Jesus in other records.

[AZORES-Genealogy] João de Mello de Vasconcellos Maria Francisca Coelha de Mendonça
I need help with a couple of names on two records. They belong to 5th great-grandmother, her parents, and her grandparents. Her name was Maria Francisca de Mello and she was married in São Jorge, Nordeste, São Miguel on April 26, 1750 to Thomas Caetano Pacheco (see left page): : http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-SAOJORGE-C-1744-1755/SMG-ND-SAOJORGE-C-1744-1755_item1/P43.html On this record, I'm having a hard time reading her parents' names. To me, they look like João de Mello de Vasconcellos Maria Francisca Coelha de Mendonça (not sure about Vasconcellos - looks more like Dos Concellos, but this could be the handwriting). I went ahead and looked for her parents' marriage record using this information and think I found it from October 9, 1720 (left paget) in the same parish: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-SAOJORGE-C-1707-1743/SMG-ND-SAOJORGE-C-1707-1743_item1/P53.html However, the writing on this last one is hard to read. I can tell the groom's name is João and it kind of looks like Mello after that, but the words por palavra from the previous line is overlapping the word which I think is Mello. Then there's the Vasconcellos name...which may be abbreviated here. Looks like Vazlos. His father's name looks like Simão de Souza de Vazlos and mother Maria Cardoza? The bride's name is much more reassuring and looks a lot like Maria Francisca Coelha de Mendonça from the previous record. It looks like she's the daughter of Manoel Furtado (or is it Felizardo?) Leite, but I cannot make out the mother's name. I also can't tell where they're from. Same parish? I know it's a lot of questions, but I really would appreciate a second (and third) set of eyes on these two records. It would really help my research. I can't believe I started researching in Villa Franca do Campo and got taken back to Nordeste. This family certainly seems to move around.

Does anyone know if pre-1839 records for Ribeira Quente will be included in Villa Franca do Campo? That's where the perish belonged to prior to moving to Povoação. The current records online under Povoação for Ribeira Quente include baptisms going back to 1792, but marriages only start in 1833 (obits only start in 1811). Where are the older marriage records? Is it possible these will be included under Villa Franca do Campo?

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Starting the search of my ancestors
Hi Jeff, Have you looked at the Rio Grande do Sul Catholic Church records on familysearch? There are only a few states that have been fully uploaded. I've found a lot on my family (including my Azorean ancestors), but we are from Rio de Janeiro. I checked and they do have Rio Grande do Sul records online - both for Viamão and for Osório. The records typically go to the late 1800s, at which point the Civil Registry took over from the church. Unfortunately, Civil Registries for RS are not yet available online, but those are easier to find in local town notaries since they're more recent. However, if you have an ancestor born in the mid-to-late 1800s that you know of, that would be the easiest place to start looking. There are no indexes available, but if you browse the books in the parish your family came from, you should be able to find someone that is related. I've found that parish records were great at informing the parish where the family came from in Portugal. That's how I linked mine back, so hopefully you'll find a great detailed record. Here's the link to the two parishes you were looking at: Osório: https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffamilysearch.org%2Frecords%2Fwaypoint%2FM97B-NYV%3An879109685%3Fcc%3D2177295 Viamão: https://familysearch.org/search/image/index#uri=https%3A%2F%2Ffamilysearch.org%2Frecords%2Fwaypoint%2FM97B-N1N%3A181155%3Fcc%3D2177295 Good luck!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] ROCHA - Santo Antonio Alem Capelas
I've encountered two other examples of the use of the letter x in the Azores. Sometimes, I've seen Sodré spelled Xodré. I'm not sure why, as the modern pronunciation is not the SH sound, but perhaps it changed over time. The other was a foreign name, Fisher (as in Guilherme Fisher family of Terceira). I've seen that name spelled Fixe. Rodney On Thursday, January 9, 2014 3:32:50 PM UTC-5, Doug da Rocha Holmes wrote: Hi Ricardo, Yes, the archaic spelling is Roxa. But it really seems to be something individual priests use here and there. It's Rocha in records for every century, but also Roxa in the same centuries. The main point is the SH sound of Rocha (sounds like ROSHA) has two ways to be spelled. Sometimes it's CH and other times X like Cheri said. Teixeira is the X example, too. It helps to sound out what the name is spelled like and you might figure out what the modern spelling should be that way. Oh, Chaves is another example. Maybe it can also be spelled Xaves Good luck.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Antonio de Souza Alimo (Terceira)
Hello. I was hoping someone could provide me with any insight on a record for someone in my family. My 6th great grandparents were from Terceira and were named Antonio de Souza do Alimo and Catharina Josefa Bernarda Moules (or Mole). They were married in the parish of São Bartolomeu de Regatos in Angra do Heroismo on July 9, 1746. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-SAOBARTOLOMEU-C-1698-1749/TER-AH-SAOBARTOLOMEU-C-1698-1749_item1/P322.html I was able to decipher most of the record with the exception of a section that begins 6 lines from the bottom. Here's what I can make out: Freguez da parochia de S. Pedro da Cid...(can't make these words out) ...quaresma...pasada...e Catherina Josefa From the moment they mention that he's from the parish of São Pedro, to the moment they mention his new wife's name, I'm lost about what is being said. I believe it has something to do with the death of his first wife who is mentioned on the previous line. Her name was Josefa Maria and she had passed away just one year before on July 6, 1745 and had been buried in the parish of São Pedro. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-SAOPEDRO-O-1710-1765/TER-AH-SAOPEDRO-O-1710-1765_item1/P103.html I've been trying to chase down Antonio's parents, but without a record of marriage between him and his first wife, I don't think I will be able to find it. I have been unsuccessful so far in finding it. I was hoping that perhaps some of the missing text may help me.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] A-File Results - Anyone have this problem?
Hi Trevor, I know this post is old, but did you ever figure out who Manuel da Costa Pevide's father was? I'm a distant cousin from Brazil and am researching the same family. I noticed that you had two different birthdates on the two documents, but the same alien registration number. I found a birth record with a third date (Jul 27, 1884) for a Manuel da Costa Pevide in Furnas. Not sure if it's the same one.

It appears that many people, even today, have the Pevide or Costa Pevide surnames, in the Furnas Valley, Sao Miguel. This got me very excited about my search. But when the actual file came in, there was little to no info on my g.grandfather or his family. They included some other people's info too, which I am totally confused about. BTW - he was born around 1885, immigrated 1903, married Sofia de Jesus (Furtado d'Araujo) in 1908 in Fall River, and lived for some time (around the 20's/30's) in Somerset, Mass. They had children, Manuel (my grandfather), Mary (my grandfather's older sister by a year), Lena, and either Irene or Olivia (not sure about the last one).
