Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC Membership Records Lookups
Celeste Thank you for that information. Strange that I wasn't told of this in my numerous phone calls to the UPEC office. I certainly understand privacy issues, but I made it very clear that I only wanted to post records from a much earlier time period. At any rate, the records I am offering to do lookups for are the OLD records from approx 1880 - 1920 or so. Every Council has slightly different years that have been microfilmed. The council numbers that are shown on my website http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/fsocieties.html are the ones pertinent to that time period. I have no access to more current records.

[AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC Membership Records Lookups
For the last several years, Susan Vargas Murphy and I have been copying the UPEC Membership Records that have been filmed by the Mormon Church. I had wanted to put these on the Azores GenWeb site but can't seem to get a response from the UPEC on it. So, instead, I am offering to do lookups for anyone who want to check to see if their ancestor belonged to one of these councils. We don't have them all copied yet, but it's a work in progress. The information is on this page: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/upec_lookup.html The dates are generally only from approx. 1888-1920 or so but may turn out to be helpful for anyone who had ancestors living in California in that time frame. As you will see on the above mentioned page, I have created a Form for lookup requests and include a set of instructions to make the process go smoother. I can't accept any requests that do not include the city/council. I just don't have the time to search through thousands of images for any one person. Hopefully, this will lead to some of you finding information on your ancestors that will be helpful in your research. I know I have found several ancestors in these records for both myself and my husband's ancestors . some of which gave me the only clue I've ever had as to the village they came from on the Azores. So, good luck and happy hunting!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC Membership Records Lookups
Kathy, What a job for you and Susan! Thanks so much. Did you copy the Death Records? Sometimes, if I don't really know what Council a person belonged to I will look for the name in the death records (if I know a date) and that will tell me which Council to look in to. Hopefully that will help some of our patrons out there. It might also help if you have my old newsletter where I listed the Councils and to which town they belonged.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC Membership Records Lookups
Rosemarie I don't have your old newsletter but I do have the cities with their councils listed on this page of my site: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/fsocieties.html I do have some death records copied from FHL film No. 1577855 but I'm not doing any lookups from them at this time. They are not organized as well and, therefor, not ready for prime time, LOL.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] UPEC Membership Records Lookups
Kathy, the UPEC is no longer in existance. In 2011, 4 Portuguese Fraternal Societies merged into the Portuguese Fraternal Society of America. They were: UPPEC, UPEC, SES, and IDES.
