I thought I acknowledged the error in my earlier comments. How it got there I don't recall. I just made some other corrections taken from the Ribeira Quente casamentos index. Bottom line, check your files against the records if you want to be accurate. JR On Tuesday, January 14, 2020 at 9:10

Quick question. Is there a Y group of Portuguese descendants? With the price about half now of what I paid on another line, I thought it worth another inquiry. Thank you, Sherry Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 14, 2020, at 4:53 PM, Anthony Silver > wrote: > >  > Thanks Cheri. > > whats an os

Yes, I have that Virginia linked to Joao Ignacio de Lima and Francisca Rosa de Mello. But JR has her linked wrong. I think he made a typo in his genealogy program because he wrote this: [image: image.png] Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, R

An ossuary is where the bones of the dead (from many people) are deposited. It solves the space problem for burial on the islands. Seven years after the original burial, bones are dug up and put into the church depository called an ossuary. If a family wanted to continue to pay for the burial si
