This is not necessarily related to our Azores people, but I'm wondering what is
the recommended filing system for women who have more than one marriage.
Generally for a male I keep everything related to my direct connection (i.e.,
Husband + Wife 1) together in a file with their names; if I have

Thank you!! You are both correct that the date was 1837; that was my typo. I
did not see the baptism date; it must be just before the word "baptizado" where
it reads "dez [something I could not read] mez ". Thank you so much. Now I
will keep going to find Joao.

Yikes! I don't know how you all can read these records. I am starting to look
for my gggrandfather born about 1838. I think the record on the lower left for
Jose is a sibling but want to make sure I am on the right track. I think it
says "Jose son of Manuel Silveira de Souca, son of Manuel S
Wow! so much more help than I could have asked for. Thank you all.
On the baptism I posted that states ja defunto, I thought that only would
pertain to Maria Josefa since it was stated immediately following her name.
Those maternal grandparents (Antonio & Maria) are not in my direct line but
I didn't get a response on this question using a different subject line, so I
am trying something new. Hoping someone more familiar with the names and
handwriting can help me make sense of these records and either verify that it
is my family or that I am on the wrong track with the 1873 records
Here is my next question and it pertains to these records:

This subject line is going to drive Cheri crazy (sorry Cheri) but I have so
many questions about names right now I tried to cover it all in one email.
1. Is the name Accacio familiar? The first time I saw it I transcribed it
just like that because that is what I thought I saw. The next time
The two records on the attached page are the same parents/grandparents. What
is the last name of the maternal grandfather? I am seeing Grias, but not as
familiar with some of these names as most of you.

Thank you to everyone that responded and helped me with this record. Thought I
saw "primiero" also but not sure. Also found it interesting that the baptism
took place quite awhile after the birth. I'm still a rookie with these
records. Have been tracking siblings and extended family now. Su
I think this record is my great grandfather. The only US record I have found
that I know with certainty is him is his death record (1912) which lists his
parents as "John Silveira" and "Marianna Florinda" and gives his birth as
"1870" "Azores". What I can get from this record is that he was

Dates sound fine. My only issue is that I need to know by September of each

very helpful to know the dates as soon as you have them firmed up. That also

I have been to the cathedral in Sacramento to research and they simply asked
what I wanted to look at and brought out 100-year-old books of records for me

bishop. I would gladly spend my time looking through the records
I saved this email to search "later". I tried to find these records on Family

in the correct search terms. Can you give me the search terms you used to find
the records? Thanks.

If a male first tested with Family Finder, can the sample from that test be
used for an "upgrade" to a YDNA test or do you need an entirely new sample
orderd as a YDNA test?
