[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: New Bedford Churches
Hi Patricia, Thanks so much for the link to St. Lawrence. What a beautiful church..I like envisioning my ancestors and their rituals occurring in these churches so many years ago! Are your Pereiras from New England? We do know that Joseph Perry/Jose Pereira was from Sao Jorge. Beira is what we were told. I anxiously await the CCA records for Beira becoming available. Now that I know his parents were Antonio Pereira and Zabina de Jesus I will be able to find his Baptism and perhaps names of other siblings. We think he had a brother Frank Perry. Jose was taken from the dock at Velas when he was 12 and used as a cabin boy. He was eventually sold into white slavery and ended up in England as a stable worker for a Duke? (so the story goes)..he was eventually given his freedom and a Hamilton watch that my brother still has. He went to the gold rushI wish I could find his ship records coming into Ca. He left by ship, spent some time in Brazil and learned the trade of cigarmaker, left there and the story goes that he jumped ship off the Mass. coast and walked to New Bedford and found relatives who sent for a bride for him. She was from Pico, Rosa Luiza, they had 12 childrenall in New Bedford. Can't find her either! Good luck with your elusive Aunt...I bet lots of genealogists like mysteries since the search for our ancestors is an on going one!

Hi Nancy, I checked my hard copy of the New Bedford phone directory. St. Lawrence Church is not listed in the yellow pages with other churches, but I did find one number for it listed in the white pages section. I hope this number is different from the one you have. 508.992.4251 Good luck with your research. Ginger _ Windows Live™ Hotmail®: Chat. Store. Share.

Hi Ginger, Thank you so much for the number.that was the one that I needed! They said they'd send me the copy. I hope it has the full name and village as well as parents names for both of them!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: New Bedford Churches
Nancy, The church will send you a fill in the blank certificate that they would hand to a bride and groom today. It will say that the bride married the groom by the priest on this date and the witnesses were. If you want to know if the village was recorded in the marriage book, you could ask if that information was noted in the marriage book and if so, you need to ask for a xerox copy from the book and if that is not possible, a typed transcription that also includes any margin notes. Tell them that you are sending a donation to the church and then do it (it helps the rest of us genealogists).

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: New Bedford Churches
Thanks Cheri, The woman there understood that I was looking for the villages and parents names. I asked her if there was a fee and she said the priest would not let them charge but that they would accept a donation and told me how to make my check. I remembered Elaine saying that when she helped me with Antonio.Now though I'm worried that perhaps I should call her back and reiterate that I'd like a copy.and side notes! Always helps to be extra clear!

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: New Bedford Churches
Hi Cheri, Well after your note I decided I'd call and clarify things. The priest, Father Sullivan answered the phone and after explaining everything he told me he'd look it up right then and call me back! So.he just called...found the record and he said that that far back 1866 they didn't put down all the info like they began doing later. It had my ggrandparents names but not their parents or villages. Anyway, he's sending me a copy of it and suggested I get a copy from the state. The civil record that I found on NEGHS was how I found the date of the marraige and the fact that Josephs father was Antone Pereira and his mother Zabina de Jesus.I can't quite read the mothers name of Rosa Luiza.it looks like Hannah which doesn't seem Portuguese but it does say she's from Pico which is what the family says.the priest said her last name could be Luza.my family says either Gracia or Furtado..I just don't know! I'm putting my check in tomorrows mail and appreciate the gracious help they gave me so much! Thanks for the nudge!
