2011-09-25 Thread trailrunner...@gmail.com
Hi everyone, this is a little off topic, but I can't seem to find a recipe anywhere for Biscoitos, specifically Vinho Biscoitos. My grandmother used to make them (she was from Faial), but I was too young to remember the recipe. They are like the biscuits they sell at the bakery... round with the

Thank you! I think the information I found is probably accurate but there is one person in there that doesn't have a reference listed. I am going to try emailing some people who have the same information on websites and see if they can back it up with documents. Thank you again everyone, this ha

Thank you everyone for your responses! The results I had found were for the French side of the family and there always seems to be a "royal connection." I have found multiple sites that say the same thing but I would LOVE to see actual documents since I never trust anything that isn't cited. (It'

Hi everyone, I have been finding quite a bit of information recently on geneall.net for my ancestry. Since they don't list any sources, I'm a little leery about some of the information on there. Does it tend to be accurate? I don't want to buy a membership until I know I can trust the informatio

Hi everyone, I just found out some more information from my cousin about my family tree. I am going to start with my grandfather, Manuel Vargas born in 1911 in Capelo, Faial. His parents were named Filomena Augusta Ferreira and Tomaz Mendes de Vargas. Tomaz's parents are the people I just learn

Maybe Brio was her maiden name? My grandmother kept her maiden name of DaCosta until she came to the US where they gave her my grandfathers name of Vargas. Hope this helps! ~Jenn Vargas On Apr 2, 4:10 am, calvena ainsworth wrote: > "E" > > I really appreciate all the help...This Jose Francisc

Thank you for this. I am a Ouellette on my mothers side and they were all from that area of Mass, so I should find her somewhere in my family tree and add it. Thanks again! ~Jenn On Mar 20, 11:09 pm, "tygerzeyez" wrote: > Zelia J. Ouellette                       > > PEABODY - Zelia J. (Cunha)
