Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for documentation of g.grandfather Antonio Goncalves Born 1877
So, on the record for the twins, Antonio and Jose: Using my tablet, I can read the birthdate as January 21. The father’s last name is given as “Jorge”, the grandfathers’ are Jorge Furtado and Avelar, and The Godfather’s is Alvarez. Sarah, I’m afraid it seems unlikely that this is your great grandfather’s record. We all want to help, so if you can gather as much of the information that Cheri suggested to start with, it will give you the best possible leads to go in the right direction. Hope this helps, Linda -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.

It's not Jan. 8th. I need to know how that date is being obtained. Flores has about 10 churches to search. No guarantee that the dad is a Gonçalves either. Who are Antonio's parents and how do you know?

Without supporting information, as Cheri says, it's not really possible to know if it's the right Antonio.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for documentation of g.grandfather Antonio Goncalves Born 1877
Sarah, The record you are sending is for a Constantino and a Joao. Your original email said, "born on Flores but are not 100% sure." You didn't say family lore. It sounded like a guess. You need more documentation in America to be more certain of Flores. What census work have you done on your ancestor? Was he in America during WWI and did you pull his draft registration card? Did he naturalize and if so, did you order his naturalization packet from the USCIS? Do you have his death certificates and his obituaries from the newspapers? It's rare for our illiterate ancestors to give the correct birth date. It's off sometimes. Where are you getting that birth date from?

Family lore says Flores island. I indicated that in my original message. I don't know the parish, that's true. Please look at the attachment when you have computer access.

I am on my cell. I see an attached image. One side is a Constanino and the other is Josė. You still haven't said why you are picking Flores island and that parish. I believe in your original message you said you only knew that your ancestor was born in the Azores. I don't understand what has led you to N.S. da Conceição on Flores.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for documentation of g.grandfather Antonio Goncalves Born 1877
Hi Sarah S, The Azores Gen Web is a great place to start: http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/ The "how to" is here: https://goo.gl/dGG4Ar I don't know why you picked Nossa Senhora da Conceicao in Santa Cruz when you only know the Azores. That's like someone saying they know their ancestor is from the United States, so they just pick Waypoint Church in Omaha, Nebraska because it happens to be in the middle of the country. I checked Nossa Senhora da Conceicao in Santa Cruz and there is no Antonio on the date you provided. Make more of a paper trail in the U.S. using the suggestions in the "how to" on the Azores GenWeb. You need to figure out if it is indeed Flores and then you need to figure out the village (freguesia).
