Adam,

 

you are not missing anything, the records for Graciosa are not online as yet. You will have to go to www.FamilySearch.org and do a “place” search for Portugal, Graciosa and the village you are looking for and order the microfilm. You will then have to go to your local Family History Center (FHC) and view the film. If you are anywhere near Seaside CA, I think that I have most of the Graciosa film on permanent loan. There are other FHC’s that others researching Graciosa may have permanent loan film.

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Graciosa Island Help

 

I am looking for records from the 1700's and 1800's from Graciosa Island, and I am unable to locate them on this site: http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/ig/ There is an icon for the island, but it does not show in the drop down. Am I missing something? Can anybody provide any insight into researching Graciosa? 

 

Thanks!

Adam Zeiss

Hi ADAM,

 

I think you have your name information a bit “confused”… COSME should be the last name so, Cosme José de Azevedo is most probably José de Azevedo Cosme, and your José (da?) Rosa should be José da Rosa Cosme… let’s hope we are right!!! J

 

Can you send me the marriage info or scanned document? I have access to the marriages of S. Mateus from 1594 to 1840.

I have a Cosme Marques. so I wouldn't assume its a last name

Eliseu, 

I hadn't considered that it could be a last name. So, in your experience, you're telling me Cosme is normally a last name?

I have 6 records that reference him, and all of them show him as Cosme Joze or Cosme Joze de Azevedo. 

Here are a few of them

Cosme's obito is records #22 here http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-O-1880-1889/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-O-1880-1889_item1/P24.html

Cosme's marriage record is the first record on this page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1847-1860/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1847-1860_item1/P10.html

Because I haven't been able to get my hands on any Graciosa records yet, I have nothing from Graciosa - these are from Norte Grande in Sao Jorge. I don't know if there is a marriage document for his mother (Aurelia Rosa) because she is shown as solteira. 

Hope this helps!

Thanks for your time :)

Hi ADAM,

 

You are right. I had never seen it as a first name. Anyway my experience is only about S. Miguel and Graciosa Islands. I will look in my marriages what is there about. I will ask  Márcio Borba too. He has a lot of information on S. Jorge Island.

Hi,

Cosme name is of Italian origin "Cosimo".  It is a first name and  I have come across it  in S. Miguel records, recently Capelas and I think Nordeste early records also.  All as first name.
