[AZORES-Genealogy] Pesquisa de Passaportes

Hello group, I have been trying to find my great grandfather's passport information for the past year or so, without success. He left Sao Miguel via Ponta Delgada on 5 Oct 1906 on the S.S. Suveric. On a previous post, Cheri suggested that I look for his passport information for the years 1905

Joao, I don´t know how you found out what company was developing the actual interface, they are Azorean, based in Terceira Island, which I think is great, and maybe it means the money "stays home", and they keep their employees! Perhaps just by looking at the bottom of their pages? http://www.kee

Sam, Exactly like Cheri said. This other site uses Digitarq, which is the same software that powers all the archives in Portugal. I have no idea what CC will do with it in the future. Currently it has no images at all. You have to use the usual CCA website for those. It just allows you the brow

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Portuguese words for blessing

Hi Chery, I remember in the old days, my grandparents showing us grandchildren a "weird face" if we forgot to ask them for their blessing. We don't hear it so often today, but is still common in some more rural places. It was also a sign of respect! In some kind of "slang" one of the most common

Hi Ricardo, It is a custom used in different nationalities in the past and it is dying out today. Whenever we would visit our French Canadian Grandfather before we left we would ask him for a blessing. This was the custom then in the 1950's. For reasons entwined in society it is not done tod

Hello, I went through Ponta Delgada passports, 1906, and did not find Manuel Bernardo da Silva. I found several Manuel da Silva's, and one Bernardo da Silva, at least it looked liked Bernardo, but parents were not correct and the wife was not the same. I did find the baptism record that yo

Paul G., 1. On "Passaportes" dob's are only incidental to your search. As Cheri indicated, you are looking for an unspecific date prior to your ancestor's departure; that can be a short time previous to the date of departure, or, it can be considerably earlier - due to complications relating to

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Portuguese words for blessing

I have to say that growing up in Brazil, we have the same tradition. It is a sign of respect to ask for your grandparent's blessing whenever you see them. We usually ask for it by saying "Benção, Vó/Vô" and they reply "Deus te abençõe." On Wednesday, February 5, 2014 12:41:16 AM UTC-5, Cheri

Very sad that we are losing these traditions of love and respect. Personally, I think it grounds us and traditions like these give us a sense of stability, love and continuance. I don’t know if my grandparents were ever a part of this tradition but; I do know we were taught to respect our elde

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with Baptism record

Fred, the reason you can't read any parent names is because she is a "pai nao sabidos" parents unknown ( it does say pay/pai which I would take it to mean father unknown but there is no mother listed either). She was, however, baptised in Sao Sebastiao in Ponta Delgado. Rosemarie -Origina

Thanks for all the help. Seems like every record I come across is a bit different. This one is a real head scratcher...why would Maria not know her mother? Not knowing the father is more sensible but, I guess, her mother might have died when she very young and she was raised by other family? F
