[AZORES-Genealogy] Help on starting our Azorean family history
I am excited to find this google group and am enjoying all the posts. I have felt inspired to research my husband's Azorean history for the last 10 years and haven't done much. I am amazed how little his father and aunt know (who are now in their late 80's). They don't even know what their grandparents first names were! We do know that Theodore (Theotonio) Martins (my father in laws father) was born in San Bartolomeu, Terceira around 1886 and died 1935 in Patterson, CA and his wife Madeline Rocha was born in 1896 in Porto Judeo, Terceira and died in 1957 in Santa Clara, CA. I have gone to Family History Centers and ordered microfilm that my friend who is Portuguese could not even begin to make out (the scribble) Anyone have advice on where to start? Is there a good way to search passengers on ships that came over?...I can guess they came in the 1920's but no idea how they traveled to California. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

Have you gotten copies of their death certificates? It might list who their parents were.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help on starting our Azorean family history
Hi Emily, Since you are dealing with records from the 1880s and 1890s from Sao Bartolomeu and Porto Judeo, you will have to either write there to get them, hire a researcher to get them for you, or go there yourself. To write there (form letter where you fill in the blanks at the end of the document): http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/genresources.html Find a researcher: http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/azoresindex.html#researchers For Porto Judeo and Sao Bartolomeu, once you get back to 1873, you can research via the film. How to read the handwriting: Either use a researcher or learn yourself. It takes perseverance and a lot of patience, but it can be done: http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/HowTo_Part_3a.html#reading http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/Paleography/paleography_01.html https://wiki.familysearch.org/en/Portuguese_Genealogical_Word_List (Scroll down to where it says Additional Resources in purple. Under that, look for the blue words Basic Portuguese Paleography. It is in 4 parts. Hope some of this helps.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help on starting our Azorean family history
Emily, Do you know if Aguiar is part of their name? I found a ship's record for a Teotonio Martins Aguiar, 27, born Lages, Terceira, sailing from Angra, Terceira, November 14, 1920, on the ship Roma, arriving Providence, RI, November 22, 1920, leaving his father Manuel Martins Aguiar, Lages, Terceira, Azores going to friend Manuel G. Godinho, 92 Mulberry Street, Fall River, MA. Will keep searching but let me know if this might be him as then I can check the CCA site.

Re: Re: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help on starting our Azorean family history
Here is ship's list for other Theotonio. Which one is yours? Theotonio Ignacio Martins 23, b. Bartolomeu, Terceira, on ship Roma, leaving Horta Oct. 23/1919 arriving Providence (Ancestry has mistakenly listed this under NY Passenger List), leaving his mother Maria Jose Vieira, Santa Luzia, Angra, Terceira, going to his brother Jose Ignacio Martins, Tepton, Tulare, CA. Will wait till you let us know which one is yours before I do anymore research, ie finding him on CCA list. E -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
