Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Warning about DNA Projects on Social Media.

I became very Leary after reading his comments. Thank you for all you and the administrators due for the Azores project!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Help with place of passports
I have found the ship (Canopic) manifest for my great-grandmother and my grandmother. It arrived in Boston, MA on September 16, 1913. Says it sailed from St. Michaels. They were from Graciosa. Is it most likely they went to Horta to obtain passport and sailed to Ponta Delgado and left for states from their. Any clue on which passport book to look - Horta or Ponta Delgado.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Need help with a birth place
Yahoo! Found my grandfather's passport information. It verifies what my father always said that he was from Sao Mateus, Graciosa! He left from Angra and came through New York at the age of 11! Settled in Lawrence, Mass. Doesn't look like he traveled with his parents though - so more unanswered questions! His name was not written correctly on ship's manifest which added to confusion. I have been searching for him for several years. I had records of him once he was in Massachusetts but not in Azores. So exciting to have this information. Thank you Cheri Mello and Richard Pimentel all for your help.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Need help with a birth place
It was my mother's DNA. Francisco Sousa Rosa is my father's father. I found the ship manifest and he is listed as Franco de Sensa Rosa age 11. When looking at writing, I'm almost sure Sensa is Sousa. He was born Oct. 1887, so age fits. Shows leaving from Terceira. So I will search passports for Terceira now. Trying to make out other passengers names he may have traveled with. If I did my DNA, would it help in showing my father's? My only brother has passed and no other living males. I see that FTDNA is having a sale now. So excited to finally find out more about my dads side. Colleen Sent from my iPad > On Aug 3, 2016, at 8:48 PM, Cheri Mello wrote: > > Unless "Sul" is Luz.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Need help with a birth place
I finally found my grandfather, Francisco Sousa Rosa's, Declaration of Intent for Naturalization in Boston, Massachusetts. At least, I think it is him. Birthdate and name are correct. He has been my brickwall for several years. Form was definitely completed by someone else because his signature does not match writing on form. My question is for birthplace it is listed as Fenais, Azores. Has anyone ever heard of Fenais? Also, on the form it states he immigrated to the United States from Sul, Azores on the vessel da Maria and arrived at New York harbor on Oct. 5th, 1899. Also, lists last residence as Said Fenais, Azores. Do you think person wrote what they thought they heard? He was 24 at time of Declaration. My father always said he was from Graciosa. I'm not so sure because when visiting Graciosa several years ago, I couldn't find anything. I have also had Joao Ventura search to no avail. His wife Elvira Cunha was definitely born there. Have fun most of her records. They married in Massachusetts. Thank you for any help with my brickwall.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] GRACIOSA researcher's list
Hi Eliseu: I would like to be added to your Graciosa list. I am researching my grandparents, Francisco Sousa Rosa and Elvira Bettancourt Cunha. Thanks to Joao Ventura I have found information for my grandmother Elvira. I have been to Graciosa several years ago and saw my great grandmother, same name as grandmother, gravestone in village of Santa Cruz. My grandfather is my "Brick Wall". I even wonder if he was really born there. Both immigrated to Massachusetts at different times. My great grandmother also immigrated to States but later went back to Graciosa. Thanks for adding my email. Colleen Wright searching Rosa, Cunha in Graciosa and Goncalves and Machado Silva in Teceira.

Cheri; When I click on the link below - it takes me to Ancestory site and has these blue boxes that looks like from Azores Gen site. I try to click on a box and it goes no where. The blue boxes keep moving around. Any idea? Thanks, Colleen On Fri, Feb 8, 2013 at 9:25 AM, Cheri Mello wrote: > Maria B, > > It depends on if it was in the last 100 years or not.

Thank you Lorraine. I will keep for my records. I have been concentrating on my mother's side - Silva and Goncalves. Hopefully, will start paternal side later this summer. I will keep you posted.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Home Is An Island
I am also reading this book and thoroughly enjoying. Yes, it does help in understanding why my grandparents left the Azores and came to America. My grandparents left Teceira and never returned. I highly recommend. Thank you for your other book recommendation. I wish I had spoken with my grandparents more about how, why. It is amazing to me how they left family and came to America not knowing anyone or the language. What brave people they were. Thanks for sharing.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] norte grande, são jorge
Thanks for the information. I have just began my research for my ancestors. I haven't been able to get much information. So far I know that my grandfather Joseph (Jose) Machado Silva was born about 1894 on Terceira and from Angra or San Mateus. His parents were Antonio Machado Silva and Maria Luz. He and my grandmother came to the United States in 1921. My grandmother was Maria Augusta Gonsalves Silva born Jan. 14, 1897 in San Mateus. Her mother's name may have been Maria Clementina. That is all the information I have right now. I would love to know how I can find out more. I may be traveling to Teceira in August, 2012. Is it best to go directly to the churches for information. I am also told that my grandmother's father may have been left at an orphanage on a table. Any information about how orphanages were run would be appreciated.
