2. [AZORES-L] Fraga [1]
Doug, Thanks for your input. I had heard that there were Fraga's on Flores and Corvo but; without knowing the church let alone which island to start looking on I figured the task would be impossible. I know that Corvo is quite small and I believe, has only one parish so that is great. What about Flores? How many parishes does it have? I only recently found from my great grandparents marriage document the first names of their parents. I guess I could start on Corvo looking for them and hopeing that th
3. [AZORES-L] Pedro Alvares Cabral [1]
Dear Listmembers, I was wondering if any of the readers know what, if any connection, Pedro Alvares Cabral has to Goncalo Velho Cabral? Pedro b: 1468 was the son of Fernao Cabral and Isabel Gouveia. Goncalo b: abt 1400 was the son of Fernao Velho and Maria Alvares Cabral. Both had connections to Belmonte Portugal. Both were navigators, from a landlocked town. Interesting. I read that Pedro was born in the Castle in Belmonte. Goncalo's grandfather was, Alvaro Gil Cabral, the Alcaide-Mor de Belmonte.
4. Unidentified subject! [1]
The following is an obit that appeared in the Sunday, Aug. 8, 1999 edition of "The Providence Journal." I am retypping it as it appeared. Cheri, this may be connected to you...By the way, I always save any obit of a person from Ribeira Quente. BRISTOL: GERMANA PEIXOTO, 93, of Metacom Manor Health Care Center, formerly of Magnolia Street, a homemaker, died Friday at the manor. She was the wife of the late Carlos Peixoto Vieira. Born in Rebeira Quente, Sao Miguel, the Azores, a daughter of the late Man
5. Re: [AZORES-L] Monsigneur/Monsenhor Da Rocha [1]
I do not recognize the name of the Msgr...and there has never been a bishop of Portguese descent in the Diocese of Providence. The Portuguese parish in Bristol is St. Elizabeth's...what time frame are we talking about so I can ask my retired priests friends. I know Fr. Diogo who was the pastor at St. Elizabeth's for awhile before becoming pastor of Holy Rosary church in Prov. The most famous prelate of Portuguese descent in the USA would be Cardinal Humberto Medeiros, who was a parish priest in Fall R

Sometimes it4s better to use local rental company for two main reasons: 1. They4re around 50% of prices of intl. companies like Avis and Hertz 2. They use the cars which people don4t stole here. (Like Opel.) I4ve manage special effects studio for almost ten years. For all his time we use: Pracar Go s.r.o.

8. Re: [AZORES-L] Diminutive names MANINHA [1]
Hi, I seem to remember this from childhood. The diminutive 'Maninha' seems to be a shorter version of the diminutive 'ermazinha' -- 'erma' (maybe misspelled?) meaning sister, plus the diminutive ending 'zinha.' I also seem to remember hearing 'mana' (or something like that) as a diminutive for sister. Can anyone tell me if my memory correct?

13. [AZORES-L] Espalhafatos, Ribeirinha, Faial [1]
Today I found a new site with great descriptions of Faial, its villages, views and a bit of history. An extract of three paragraphs of verbiage is repeated below. The last word of the first paragraph, a location, is mentioned in my grandfathers baptism record as his place of birth in 1873. Does anyone know a bit more about this specific locale? Also, sure to read my note at the end of thge 3d paragraph. Esta i a primeira freguesia Faialense a ser avistada por quem chega ` ilha de avico. Situa-se n

15. [AZORES-L] SS Canopic [1]
Hi Again, Just one other question, I have been fortunate, so far, to find my relatives booking passage on the SS Canopic. However, there are a few that I can not locate, but know they came over. Was there only ONE vessel that went from Sco Miguel to Boston, or were there other vessels that took the same run? I do know that it only took 6 days. Anyone? Thanks again, I'm always searching, (Personal "Thanks" to Eloise) Judy hap@seanet.com
16. [AZORES-L] Re: Genealogy goals, practices [1]
Hi Ruy, I think I didn't make myself clear enough on that point you raised. I have related goals which include the tracing of all people in all villages who ever lived on Pico and Terceira (this includes all people I can find who emigrated to Brasil or the U.S. and all their descendants - the full and complete collection of all people from these two islands - as far as possible). I might eventually do other parishes, but those goals will keep me busy for a long time, without adding more to them. So I di

18. [AZORES-L] Reading 16mm films [1]
Can someone please tell me the best way to read the parish records from Graciosa which are on 16 mm films? Our FHC does not have microfilm readers with the extra magnification and I am having a hard time reading the old handwriting on the readers. I did spend some time today reading a film on a lovely new microfilm/fiche copier which made it much easier. However, I had to hand over the machine each time someone wanted to make a copy! Any suggestions gratefully received! Valerie

Francisco: Thanks mucho for your posting on the title of Dom. Other than seeing this title with Royals I have not seen it as I have browsed through many Azorean books on genealogy. Probably there but I paid no attention to it. Also, I have not been studying genealogies of Counts, Marquesses, Dukes and members of the Royal House. Where I do see Dom is in the church registers of Angra and Praia Victoria from 1583 to about 1642, when the Spanish were in the Azores. I notice in the registers th

21. Re: [AZORES-L] From Dolores Coyle: How to I find Baptismal records? [1]
How to find Baptismal records. You have the dates and the name of the father. That is more than most beginners have. But you must know the village your ancestors came from. This is a must. If you do not know, you will have to search all villages on film. There are 11 parishes that have been filmed. Sometimes knowing the surnames can be a clue to the possible village of your ancestors. Good luck, Eloise
