Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] More than one group

Gail E, I don't believe what group your match is from is of too much importance. If you match my dad (and you do), you really don't care what project he's in. You want to look at his Gedcom and look for the common ancestor. But if you really want to know, go to your Matches and click on his

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel Silveira on Sao George, Azores

They are obits from Sao Jorge, vila of Calheta. The top right is for Rita Ignacia (?) who is single and the right bottom is for Maria Faustina (?) widow of Manuel Silveira. It would be better to have the actual link to the CCA instead of the attached record. I can enlarge from the CCA Web site.

I stumbled upon those eBay photos, too. They are wonderful and there are many of them, and quite reasonably priced. Here is a linkthat will take you to all 112 photos. Perhaps someone here will find some

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] More than one group

Thanks Cheri, I have a lot more info to enter in, but the time do it is a little constraint. I'm hoping this summer I can update and get a more solid background. Hopefully we can find our common ancestor. So far with all my ancestors I don't know what part they came from except San Miguel. Ho
