Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Death in Ribeira Quente

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Death in Ribeira Quente

At the time of Caetana's marriage, her dad is Joao Jacintho. That Ch-whatever must be an alcunha? http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-RIBEIRAQUENTE-C-1833-1860/SMG-PV-RIBEIRAQUENTE-C-1833-1860_item1/P34.html Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island:

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Death in Ribeira Quente

Try Joao Chalveiro. It does look like Chalvieiro. In Ponta Garca, there is a locale called Calvario, which is not the same of course. Her parents were Joao Jacinto and Anna Theresa [de Jesus], and none of their married children used a proper surname. So perhaps Joao adopted a nickname. JR On

You could almost make it anything! Maybe, Chalrioso? Someone that researches Sao Miguel may recognize the name. Rosemarie rcap...@gmail.com Researching Sao Jorge, Terceira, Graciosa, Faial and Pico, Azores, Isola delle Femmine, Sant' Elia, Sicily On Sat, Jul 28, 2018 at 9:57 AM, Cheri Mello

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Records at the Biblioteca e Arquivo in Ponta Delgada

They gave me different information when I was there. I was asking for records from the council of Vila Franca. They told me that Ponta Delgada goes up to 1912 and the others up to 1905. Apparently that is not true. They told me that Santa Maria goes up to 1911. I don't know if that's true or not.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Records at the Biblioteca e Arquivo in Ponta Delgada

Thanks for posting this list. I was not aware of the Nordeste obits going to 1959. More work to do. Just a minor correction to the Archive records. When I was there last month I was able to find an obit in Ponta Delgada from 1946, so those records go to at least 1947. Thanks for all you do.
