[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Gandmother's maiden name

There were 3 parishes in Horta, at least through the first half of the 19th century, but by the time the Mormons began collecting records, one parish had disappeared. Does anyone know if there was a fire which destroyed records or if the closure occured otherwise? If just closed, did records

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Gandmother's maiden name

Al, I thought the 3 parishes in Horta were NS da Conceição, NS de Angustias (spelling), and Salv... Santissimo. All 3 had records filmed. Check the Tombo.pt site for your parishes. Maybe you can let us know which one disappeared. Cheri -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Gandmother's maiden name

Hi, Al None of the parishes disappeared. All 3 are very much in existence, and all have records in CCA until 1911, as you can see here: http://tombo.pt/en/m/hrt João C. Ventura http://tombo.pt/en/ On Tuesday, 14 October 2014 16:53:11 UTC+2, Cheri Mello wrote: > > Al, > I thought the 3 parishes

Knowing someone on the island is a big help! Just went to Terceira and Graciosa in July. My Aunt went before me and my mother after. I have some quick tips! The travel agent was near useless. Got all birth dates wrong, names wrong and the sex of my son wrong. We found this the day before after

[AZORES-Genealogy] Surnames: Linhares,Amaral,Melo, Furtado,Caetano

I was wondering if anyone had any info on where I could trace back my ancestors records in Sao Miguel. I don't speak Portuguese. I have some info on them. My maternal grandfather was born in 1919 in Rhode Island. His father was Manuel (possible first name) Amaral and his mother was Maria Gloria

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Surnames: Linhares,Amaral,Melo, Furtado,Caetano

Hi Erin,Many years ago, I remember a researcher with lots of Sao Miguel ancestry who has Linhares ancestors.His came from Terceira somewhere that I don't recall, but he traced a lot of them and I can't be certain but it might include your family. It could be possible that anyone named Linhares in S

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Surnames: Linhares,Amaral,Melo, Furtado,Caetano

Erin S, I would guess 90% of this list does not speak Portuguese. But I would guess that over half can "read" a document and extract the necessary information out of it. You're going to need to census work, obituary work, naturalization work, etc to find the freguesia (village) of your ancestors

[AZORES-Genealogy] I am curious about given name Manuel

I read about Azores naming patterns and it seems like all first born boys were called Manuel, but I wonder if this is only a Azores pattern or it is for all Portugal? I am not sure where my Portuguese ancestors are from, but could I ruled out Azores in case their names do not conform to this pat

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] I am curious about given name Manuel

Robert I, Many first born boys were named Manuel. But not all. I have not researched anywhere else except the Azores, so I'll let other comment on that. As for the rule on naming patterns, there is no rule. We only have generalities. Some will be named for grandparents, but not all. Some wil

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] I am curious about given name Manuel

Robert,Is is very often the case that Manuel is the first son and Maria the first daughter, but not always the case.There are families who name their first child after one of the grandparents, like your family.Maybe you should do the Family Finder DNA test and see where most of your matches are com
