Read every freguesia and church that belongs to Ponta Delgada. Maybe it
Hello Cherri and Mara, I have basically every record you can have from the US
except for the immigration records. All census records, marriage records, WW1
draft records, birth records of children, Family pictures, US Directories,
Names/Dates etc...They all say São Miguel(St.Michael)

I agree about the Ancestry ThruLines, especially with the Portuguese. All
of the “potential ancestors”that I looked at were wrong WRONG WRONG! Too
many similar names. I’m sorry, but I don’t care if her name is the same as
my 5th GGrandmother and we share DNA. Being born in 1926 makes it
And Now Ancestry has all of the new possible ancestors on ThruLines. I
can tell just by glancing at what they’ve gotten wrong by my data that the
entire list is going to muddy up the waters. My husband’s Portuguese side
was already so hard to decipher and now comes this new”help.”
For my
Justin,
Do the papers refer to the island of Sao Miguel? Or is it Ponta Delgada, Azores?
To consider:
Ponta Delgada is a District/Council – Island of Sao Miguel, Azores
Ponta Delgada is a Parish – Island of Flores, Azores Archipelago
Ponta Delgada is a Parish – Island of Madeira, Madeira
Justin B,
Pre-1906, post 1906, it doesn't matter. If they are using the name of the
council it could be the city proper or somewhere within that council. My
ancestor naturalized in 1956 and she gave the council, not the freguesia
(village). It took me 4 years and 25 documents before I found the
Thanks everyone! I seem to learn something new every day!

Just a small point regarding the naming of the Sandwich Islands. Capt James
Cook discovered them in January 1778 and named them after the Earl of Sandwich.

Bill, thank you for catching my error and for taking the time to look for
the correct record. I think you're right abt the indexer trying to clarify
which Joao this was. They had obviously run into this couple elsewhere in
their indexing of this village.
Thanks, Cheri for checking out Roccio as

Have you tried Church records? That's another place that *might* have a

Justin, prior to 1906 it's a guess what they were referring to. I would
take it to mean the Concelho of Ponta Delgada but you can always start in
the village of PD and work outwards.

Leonor, it does say Isla de Sandwich which is what the Hawaiian Islands
were known as because they were 'discovered' by the Earl of Sandwich. The
Azores Islands were known as the 'Western Islands' in the USA for a long
time. When I was first starting to do my research I thought it meant
For people who became Naturalized US Citizens pre-1906 if it says they were
born in Ponta Delgada was it just a generalized thing or are they actually from
Ponta Delgada. Was it just a stand in because it is the capital or is it
specific. Thank you for any responses.

Angela; I appreciate this info. With the different records using different
parts of our ancestors surnames at different times, it’s a wonder we ever
figure this stuff out!
These are not actually my people, although I do have a number of Soares and
