Becky, there is a book called* Familias da Faialenses *by Marcelino Lima that takes many of the founding families back a ways. If you go to the site: Haithitrust.org and put in the name of the book or author it will come up. The problem is that the book is arranged by main family names and does

Becky, It depends. If you are reading a record and it says someone was from another island or the continent, then you follow the paper trail and keep researching. If the records just end because you run out of records (they are missing, lost, whatever), well, that is what we call the "End of Line"

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: date trans

I'm sitting hear laughing at myself...firstly, you are right the name is Antonia Maria and secondly because I goofed in my interpretation. The word is not "todos" but "naturaes" naturals but the priest appends it to the previous word, and this I found by following your example to look at another

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] date trans

Liz, According to Maria Norberta Amorim's book, the date is 2 March 1755. The parents are Joaquim Silveira Bettencourt and Antonia Maria Silveira. I could not verify these names because the view screen on my phone isn't good enough. But, these names seem reasonable from what I can observe.

Thanks Margaret. Lucas was definitely a wrong guess. Now that I look closer and comparing to other records, I think it might be Antonia Maria, naturais e fregueses (Written as "Antonia Mariana turais" Bill On Thursday, February 25, 2016 at 11:46:50 AM UTC-8, Mara wrote: > > not really.
