favor of going on and do a quick check fo me in Piedade on Pico? try
searching for Jose Leal da Rosa, he'll be born in 1806 died 1899.

Thanks Pam Margaret. Typo's happen. I was able to confirm the baptismo

of her grandparents, but I guess they did not list them in the early
1800's. Oh well the search goes on.

Hi Mike,
Jose Leal da Rosa does not come up in Piedade if you use the da...however, he's
there if you just put in Jose Leal Rosa. He married twice, died at 92.

Greetings Group,
My brother has a strong DNA (E-M35.1) match in Cuba. I'm curious if many
Azorean people went to Cuba? Did whaling ships stop there?
Thanks,

My brother's few Y-DNA matches are mostly in Mexico, with one from
Argentina, one in France (I think), and only one from the Azores. He is
G2a. We have Family Finder matches from Mexico (with Nuevo Leon turning up
more than once), Puerto Rico, Spain, and the Canary Islands. These matches
are
To answer the original question, I have noticed many people over the years who settled in various places in Central America and the Caribbean, including Cuba, who have a connection to the Azores.Maybe the similarity of the language between Portuguese and Spanish was a factor. And who wouldn't like
Mainly in XVIIIth century, women adopted religious surnames. There's no single
rule, but many times these names refered to saint whose date was close to birth
or baptism children's date. Children who was baptized close to Christmas
received do Nascimento; children baptized in June, de Santo
Those are not surnames, Joao, they are the same as Confirmation names except in
the Azores it is referred to as segundo Communiao.

I have found that the best way is to search *by the list*of all using

Doug, I'm sure the weather in Mexico is very nice, but the Azores are
beautiful, and I don't think families would pack up and leave just for a
warmer climate. I believe the fact that some of my DNA cousins have
ancestors who lived in Nuevo Leon could be significant. Check out this
Wikipedia
My brothers match in Cuba is handled by his daughter and when we emailed it
became apparent that her fathers family lore had them coming from Spain and I
know part of my genealogy goes way back in Spain. Many of my brothers matches
are to Spain, Morocco and Algeria..far back in my paternal
