[AZORES-Genealogy] looking for information on my g ggrandfather
Looking for information on my g ggrandfather and his brother. He and his brother immigrated to the US in the 1870's-1880's as a pre teen and his brother a teen as the story has been told. They came through Portsmouth, NH. My g grandfather was then adopted by a Bartlett family in NH and later moved on to the Boston area. Much is known about him from there on. But little mention of his past. We know his brother moved on very soon after arrival to Merced CA. They used an anglicized name something like Gerrivas, Gerevas. or possibly Gervasio. We know a sister joined the Uncle later on in the 1880's, but she went directly to Merced. I am trying to find the family name and the Azorean island of they're origin. Some had mentioned in the ancestry notes that it most likely was a western island of Sao Jorge, Pico, Faial, or Flores, since they supposedly arrived on a whaling vessel. Anyway a trip to the Azores is on my "bucket list" but I would like to have a little more info before I go.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] looking for information on my g ggrandfather
Hello Frank, I can not help you much but the term Western Island refers to all the islands in the Acores. I grew up in Portsmouth NH and the Bartlett name is well known and goes back to pre revolutionary days. There is a house on display in Portsmouth known as the Bartlett house. There is also a street named Bartlett Street.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] looking for information on my g ggrandfather
A suggestion I would have is to try and find birth records of Frank Bartlett's children or Frank Bartlett's marriage record. It is possible he may list where he was born. Also, if he were listed on WWI draft registration form. When was he born and when did they move to Boston area and what is name of his wife/children? We might be able to help you more with this information. "E" -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] looking for information on my g ggrandfather
Hi Debbie, My grandmother Deolinda (Duilinda,Dalinda take your pick) was born in Flores . That's all I know. On her marriage license her name is listed as Dalinda Goncalves Pedro. Father Antone Goncalves and Mother Isabel Pedro . So I am totally confused as to her last name. I have searched both Pedros and Goncalves with no luck so far. She had at least 7 sisters and 1 brother. Brother died at sea and 1 sister settled in Brazil. All the other sisters came here to California. My grandmother married Frank B. Avila and they moved here to Buhach Atwater, Merced County about 1901. Frank and his brothers John, Jose and Antone all farmed in the Buhach,Atwater area. One sister Rose (married Frank Dutra) lived across the street from Frank & Deolinda. My other problem is I do not speak Portuguese, let alone read it. She is my last grandparent to find and I cannot give up till I do find her Do you know if anyone has indexed Flores in English?

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] looking for information on my g ggrandfather
Hi Debbie, My grandmother, Deolinda Pedro Goncalves was from Flores. She married my grandfather, Frank B. Avila, (1901)in Oakland CA. They moved to Buhach Atwater, CA. Merced County had a small farm and raised their family there. My grandfather was from Norte Grande,Sao Joege. I recently found him but I am at a loss with my grandmother. Her father was Antone Goncalves and mother Isabel Pedro . I have been searching the Flores website but cannot find either one of them. No surprise there as I do not speak or read Portuguese.. I am wondering if maybe they might show up in some other list members genealogy. My main problem is that no one knows where in Flores she came from. One her death certificate they listed her born 08 Nov 1873 Azores Island. If you know of, or happen to ever run across these people would you please contact me? I would really appreciatwe it...

Beverly, I've been looking around for information on the sisters you mentioned in earlier posts. You said all six came to California. Do you have any more information on them that could place them in Califronia. If we could get a death certificate, it might name a town.

First is 20 Feb 1890 birth record from Alameda county for the daughter of Catherine Gonsorves( their spelling) and Sylvester Serpa. Next is the obit for Silvester Serpa from the 8 Nov 1910 Oakland Tribune. Then the 1920 census for now widowed Kathryn Serpa. Her daughter May has married John Percy Everingham. They have two sons. Here is the death record for Catherine Catherine Serpa 14 Nov 1941 Alameda 1 Jan 1860 Other Country Maybe her death certificate has a town named.

It's the Penninsular arriving 4 Sep 1900 in New York. It sailed from Flores.
