Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Santo Espirito - Marriages (1708-1751)

2014-04-08 Thread Ricardo Chaves
Thank you JR,

many of those names I have seen when looking for more connections with
Balthazar Gomes + Izabel da Fonte. I found a death certificate that seems
to be this Balthazar (1712) and it says, for the first time in my direct
line ancestors, he is from Matriz (Vila do Porto) and that, if its really
him, gives me another chance.

In the Carlos Machado notes, that Hermano pointed, it looks that even
Carlos Machado had difficulty do connect that Baltazar and Izabel to the
rest of the notes. Although a bit confused, there are a few names I have
found some kind of connection with Balthazar, marriages and births being
Balthazar and Izabel the parents.

But with out the marriage I can't be sure of nothing because there are many
similar names. I have no choice but to keep digging! Who in this list has
da Fonte from Santa Maria and if this da Fonte has converted to de
Fontes could tell me something about it!

Thanks to all

Thank you all,

Doug, that is my plan, that takes time! I was just jumping from
generation into generation, backwards, just to see where I could go in the
backbone of the tree, sem olhar para os galhos but I know I have a lot
of work! Some of the branches I caught along the way were pure luck ;-)

Thank you Nancy, I will eventually some day, dig the hole Island I am
aware of that, we might cross in to Cabral one day, I have it from both
Paternal and Maternal side.

Cheri, I can see that now for my unhappiness, and yes I already know that I
will have to read some of those books. I also read that Velho Arruda wrote
a good one, being from Santa Maria, maybe he got those books in better
conditions, I don't know. I am curious when did these books deteriorated, I
can tell you one thing, humidity in these Islands can be a killer for
just about anything you can think of, specially electronics!

Thank you Manoel, I will consider that in the future to see if I connect
there!

Obrigado Hermano, é curioso esse material andava no CCA e eu nao sabia!
Muito Bom!! It seams that he got the same doubts I have, I know I wont find
proof considering the deterioration of he books, but I still have hope in
the birth records to get more info as they go back a little bit more than
the marriages!

Obrigado a todos!

 Ricardo,

 Sometimes the early book was lost.  Or it was in such bad shape that they
 could not film or digitize it.  It's literally falling apart.

 I don't know if Rodrigo Rodrigues or Frutoso did much with the Santa Maria
 records.  That could be one option.

Ricardo,

I know Canto did his work in the latter 1800s.  And Rodrigo Rodrigues did
corrections and amendments in the early 1900s.

Take the Achada marriage index, for example. Canto created it sometime in
the late 1800s.  The early Achada records are really bad - near the level
of the Santa Maria records.  Canto wrote a lot of . where he couldn't
read or wrote partial names (M_).  Rodrigues wrote on the front of
Achada's index that he when through and corrected and amended Canto's work
and then Rodrigues wrote the date 1929.

So I have a time line for when the books were deteriorating.  And I can see
2 genealogists just struggle with it too.

Hi Richard,
 
I have a Baltazar Velho de Andrade born in Vila do Porto who married for the 
second time Catarina Velho Melo. I have only the date of his 1st marriage to 
Maria Andrade de Alpoim who he had no children with. Nov. 1657. Perhaps these 
people are connected to yours since all the names are so similar.
 
Baltazar was the son of Sebastiao de Fonte Velho and Maria Velho Melo.

Hello group, 

I believe i am at the end of the rope for my biggest sadness, and suspecting 
that the marriage of Baltazar (Balthazar) Gomes and Mariana (Marianna) Melo 
(Mello) somewhere between 1725-1740, is gone! In the beginning of the CCA BOOKS 
1731 there are five pages missing, other I just cant read, impossible,

not to mention that the hole period of marriages 1708-1751 are (were) really in 
bad shape. In the periods I have been searching I found few Balthazar Gomes, 
not many, I know mine was born in 1707, I got his birth record, but I am 
starting to believe that these are all from the same prole, but I might be 
wrong.


There is a Balthazar Gomes Moura, a Balthazar Gomes Velho and a couple more I 
cant remember. I found in one of my Balthazar Gomes's grandson's birth record 
that the vicar wrote down his name as Balthazar Gomes Freitas, but having 3 of 
his son's birth records, death record and birth record only as Gomes an not 
Gomes Freitas, is confusing me quite a bit. 


The father of my Balthazar is also Balthazar Gomes and mother Izabel da Fonte. 
I will dig into the birth records, backwards, to see If I'm lucky. I found from 
a search on the web there is a lady that has some of these Gomes in her 
Genealogy, it s blog, I can't remember the site I believe she has a link there 
to this group so I wonder if she is here. I notice she got marriages prior to 
1708, for some of these Gomes, how?


I am reaching the stage where probably many of you with much more experience 
have been as well, what next? I wonder why Santo Espirito Marriages ends in 
1708 and Birth records go up to 1671? or Vila to 1630?

Yea, Ricardo.It happens to all of us 100% of the time, eventually.Just think how disappointing it would be if any of your ancestors came from Bandeiras, Pico where the records START in 1850. There are some villages on Flores where it's just a little before that.But have you already found all the baptisms of this oldest generation? Because as you know, those padrinhos are talking to you and giving you clues.And then, have you been paying attention to all the mentions of consanguinidade or afinidade?You might be lucky to find that one or more descendants on that line were married in some later century and can figure out the next older generation. This was the topic of my most recent article published in O Progresso, the newsletter of the Portuguese Historical and Cultural Society of Sacramento.Of course, you might be at the end of the line. But then don't forget to scour all the baptisms, marriages and deaths for that period in search of more clues. Look for witnesses, mentions of relations in the obitos, and again for padrinhos for other couples. You are bound to find them mentioned more and will find some exciting clues.Boa sorte,Doug da Rocha HolmesSacramento, CaliforniaPico  Terceira Genealogist916-550-1618www.dholmes.com

I found in one of my Balthazar Gomes's grandson's birth record that the vicar wrote down his name as Balthazar Gomes Freitas, but having 3 of his son's birth records, death record and birth record only as Gomes an not Gomes Freitas, is confusing me quite a bit.  The father of my Balthazar is also Balthazar Gomes and mother Izabel da Fonte. I will dig into the birth records, backwards, to see If I'm lucky. I found from a search on the web there is a lady that has some of these Gomes in her Genealogy, it s blog, I can't remember the site I believe she has a link there to this group so I wonder if she is here. I notice she got marriages prior to 1708, for some of these Gomes, how? I am reaching the stage where probably many of you with much more experience have been as well, what next? I wonder why Santo Espirito Marriages ends in 1708 and Birth records go up to 1671? or Vila to 1630? Thank you all-- Ricardo Chaves

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Santo Espirito - Marriages (1708-1751)

2014-04-04 Thread nancy jean baptiste
The marriage took place in Matriz, Vila do Porto.  This is information that 
George Pacheco researched for me several years ago on my great grandmother, 
Catarina Moreira Cabral.
 
Enjoy the hunt...I'm so happy to be able to search Santa Maria.

Hello Nancy, 

thank you for your input, where was that marriage of 1657? Santo Espirito or 
Vila? I am focused on the straight line for now just to see where I can go but 
I also have Mello, Carvalho and of Course Chaves that I found out it came from 
a marriage of my 5th Grandfater, and a few others that I will dig with time!

Hi Richard,
 
I have a Baltazar Velho de Andrade born in Vila do Porto who married for the 
second time Catarina Velho Melo. I have only the date of his 1st marriage to 
Maria Andrade de Alpoim who he had no children with. Nov. 1657. Perhaps these 
people are connected to yours since all the names are so similar.

 
Baltazar was the son of Sebastiao de Fonte Velho and Maria Velho Melo.
 
Regards,
Nancy Jean

Hello group, 

I believe i am at the end of the rope for my biggest sadness, and suspecting 
that the marriage of Baltazar (Balthazar) Gomes and Mariana (Marianna) Melo 
(Mello) somewhere between 1725-1740, is gone! In the beginning of the CCA BOOKS 
1731 there are five pages missing, other I just cant read, impossible,

not to mention that the hole period of marriages 1708-1751 are (were) really in 
bad shape. In the periods I have been searching I found few Balthazar Gomes, 
not many, I know mine was born in 1707, I got his birth record, but I am 
starting to believe that these are all from the same prole, but I might be 
wrong.



There is a Balthazar Gomes Moura, a Balthazar Gomes Velho and a couple more I 
cant remember. I found in one of my Balthazar Gomes's grandson's birth record 
that the vicar wrote down his name as Balthazar Gomes Freitas, but having 3 of

Ricardo,

Sometimes the early book was lost.  Or it was in such bad shape that they
could not film or digitize it.  It's literally falling apart.

I don't know if Rodrigo Rodrigues or Frutoso did much with the Santa Maria
records.  That could be one option.

I haven't followed this thread closely, however I wonder if the image in the
