Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel da Costa and Anna de Sousa

Louie, Their marriage date does not appear in CITCEM, so you're likely not to find the record. Their first child, Maria, was born in 1698 so 1697-98 is a good estimate. Joao' brother Manuel (b. 8 Feb. 1682) is my ancestral line. I show Joao's birth as 12 May 1678. I hope that what little info.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Rose E. Silvia born St. Mathews, Island of Pico born approx 1863

Mary Jane, It's highly doubtful that you'd find Silvia as a surname. More likely it would be Silva or Silveira. Both appear in the Sao Mateus records. Gayle > On Mar 10, 2017, at 3:16 PM, Mary Jane Goss wrote: > > Information from a death certificate in Falmouth Mass shows Rose E. Silvia

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] SPRSI Records

John, Tulare does have a good genealogy section for their library. So, does the downtown Fresno County Library with it's California section (although I had heard that it might move or maybe has moved to the new, larger Woodward Park Library. ) Just another option if the others don't pan out.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Sebastiao/n de Mendoca, d. 1719. Sao Mateus, Pico

Mary, The date is 9 October 1719. But, no names of relatives that I see. I think there was a witness, Teo (?) son of Manuel Ferreira. CITCEM doesn't show any birthdate or parents. Wife is shown as Maria Francisca Maciel and lots of children. It confirms his death date. Hope that helps, Gayle

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Sebastiao/n de Mendoca, d. 1719. Sao Mateus, Pico

Just looked at CITCEM again. It shows a son named Manuel Ferreira Pimentel born 4 June 1693. That seems to support what another lister (sorry I didn't write down that person's name before I started typing this message 😕) just stated. Gayle > On May 20, 2017, at 4:23 PM, Mary Pimentel Wheeler

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Sebastiao/n de Mendoca, d. 1719. Sao Mateus, Pico

Jeremy, The word is not capitalized. The use of the lower case here, I believe, is to say a married "man." Homem sometimes, but not always, may be a surname. Gayle > On May 20, 2017, at 5:26 PM, 'Jeremy G. B-C' via Azores Genealogy > wrote: > > > Homem also appears to be part of his nam

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Sebastiao/n de Mendoca, d. 1719. Sao Mateus, Pico

Another one that sometimes causes confusion is Mancebo vs mancebo. The later meaning "the younger." Not only can it be misinterpreted as a surname, but sometimes it gets translated as "junior," which may or may not be the case. But, if you're familiar with the Sao Mateus records, you're probabl

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Unknown Parents

Sean, Seems like you'll have to go through the CCA site in Candelaria for 1797 give or take a year to find Manuel's baptism. Unfortunately, the CITCEM site (for both Sao Mateus and Concelho da Magadela) doesn't provide his parents, which leads me to believe he was abandoned. Having said that, i
