Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] DaSilva family from Faial da Terra, Azores

Hi Robert M, If several records state your ancestor's place of birth as Faial, then it's Faial. Faial has only 13 freguesias (villages) to search. Sao Miguel has something like 70 to search. Why don't you list what records you've found and what they say about your ancestor? I'm guessing that a

Just thought I would mention this, since there's a thread about y-DNA. My maternal line contains my Azorean ancestry through my Azorean great grandmother. My first mtDNA test showed haplogroup H. Later there was a number attached to that, and now it has evolved to this mouthful: H-G16129A! (and

Robert, You state that your ancestor was most likely born in Sao Miguel, but you want to research the records of Faial. That's the same as if a friend told you he wanted to get into genealogy and his ancestor was most likely born in NY but he wanted to search the records of Arizona. Does not mak

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: DaSilva family from Faial da Terra, Azores

I don't know if you should attempt this. You will find Silva's in virtually every village in Sao Miguel and quite possibly, in every Island in the Azores and even Madeira island. Even if you find a match, and you will likely find many, there is no way of determining if they are your ancestors.

Actually, I found this practice in almost every village I have researched, particularly as one approaches the 1900's. One tends to see this more after 1850's. And if you are related to both sides with the same names, my advice is extract them all and pay close attention to their ages and the go
