Lexi/Marilyn,
That's what George said...the men's entrance was because of the liquor.
You never know with pictures. I had one that I took around for a few
years. I was helping a man at my FHC in Los Angeles on his Portuguese
lines. We never found a connection (yet). He asked me to come over

I'm hoping that perhaps you can provide some advice to us regarding
our upcoming visit to Vila Franca do Campo in about one month.We
hope to locate relatives there but do not have much information to go
on, other than the fact the family could be from the St. Michael's
Hi John,
Rick listed that his FHC has films for Ribeirinha on Sao Miguel island
(there's more than one Ribeirinha in the Azores).
What site are you trying to get your mother-in-law's birth from? What year
was she born?
I think the Filiacao means who are her parents, but I'd have to see the
Is there any relationship with the last name of Caetano and Jacinto? ie,
one in the same?
I have a relative who I show on paper as a Jacinto, yet was told she was a
Caetano by a relative.
Thank you,

Robin,
No, they are two different names. However, since people use multiple
surnames, she could have both in her name.

If this woman was born pre-1892, you would have to go to the archive in
Ponta Delgada and search the baptisms for Vila Franca - Sao Miguel Arcanjo,
requesting the years 1882-1892. You will have to hunt for her looking at
every baby born with her first name, checking to see if the parents
Hi Steven,
Just for practice, start to read the dates on each baptism (as they are in
chronological order). It takes time to get used to the dates being spelled
out instead of using numbers (they use some numbers in the older records).
You'll get used to the months that way too.

Another thing that is confusing when you start out...they write like this:

They run words together and then put spaces where there should not be any

They also have contractions that we don't (when was the last time you

It's the one he listed Ribeirinha in Ribeira Grande, Santissimo Salvador
Parish. She was born in 1920 and her parents maybe 1885 or so.

Hi John,
I'm not familiar with that site, but I know there are others on this list
that have used it, I believe. I couldn't make the fields come up, so I'm
hoping someone else can guide you through this form.
A 1920 baptism would most likely give her parents and grandparents. But the

Hello John,
The films in the FHC for Ribeirinha, Ribeira Grande only go to the year
1883. That was all they could film up to because of the 100 year rule
(they were filmed in 1983-5). I have not tried the site so I am not
familiar with it but in order to get your names to the records prior to

John; If you use Google, you can get a translate icon on your toolbar and
when you use it on this site, it translates the page and subsequent pages

Hello All,
I have done a fair amount of my family tree, and I notice that from generation
to generation some were given the same last name while others were not. I am
assuming that it was not always common practice to give the children the same
last name as the father, but were would they get

When Arline and I were in Rosais in 2006, talking to anyone who would stop to
talk, we met a man with the surname of Sequeira. Since that is my son-in-law's
paternal great-grandfather's name, we had a conversation and he said he had an
old picture of the church.
We took the picture to

As Elaine said, the rule is that there is no rule! Pretty frustrating.
However, there are some vague generalities. I did a mini-survey a few years
ago. I asked people to look up their ancestors in a specific time period
and to tell me which line their surname came from. A majority
My guess is that sometimes the family was so poor, they would use the
godparent's name if the godparent owned a tree in someone else's plot of land.
I think if I were in the same situation I would want to give my child the best
chance to own that tree some time in the future.
