Pico

[gm2]

Just curious: Is anyone researching on Pico ? I see a number of posts
regarding Graciosa, Sao Miguel and Sao Jorge, but not Pico where my
grandmother originated.

My Dad was from Pico.  University of Minho has all of the areas online.  Take what they have as starting point.  The address is listed below.  On the first page, click on Ilha do Pico and on the next page, click on the area on the map that your relatives were from.  You may be asked to do it again and then you will reach a page that has an arrow in a box near the bottom and you will click on it.  When the next page loads, you will see a bunch of flags.  Click on the British flag and from then on everything will be in English.  There are mistakes in these files, but it will give a place to start.  By the way, I was just in Fresno this weekend, I live near Sacramento.

Mary Ann,

Thanks for taking time to post a reply. I'm aware of the database for Pico. Actually, I spent several years extracting the marriages and deaths for Candelaria with the thought of possibly publishing the results. I was in the middle of doing the baptisms when the database came online. Oh well. Its been a wonderful tool for people !

I wrote the post because I find the migration patterns fascinating. I've found cousins in nearby cities and as far away as Canada and Panama. My connections through my grandmother extend from Candelaria to Sao Mateus, Sao Joao, and a few in Madgalena and Lages. If you ever want to compare notes.

Thanks again,
Gayle

Take what they have as starting point. The address is listed below. On the
first page, click on Ilha do Pico and on the next page, click on the area
on the map that your relatives were from. You may be asked to do it again
and then you will reach a page that has an arrow in a box near the bottom

I am interested in Pico.  My grandfather, Jose Machado Soares was born in Lajes, Pico in 1881.  He was the son of Jose Machado and Marianna Rosa Macedo.

Hello Patricia,

 

I have many surnames from Pico.  Some match the names that you're looking for including Silveira Cardoso, Vieira Soares, Simas, Goulart and Vieira Madruga.  I also have many combinations of Machado and also Avila, but not together.  My grandfather was born in Lajes, Pico in 1881.  His name was Jose Machado Soares.  His parents were Jose Machao and Marianna Rosa Macedo.

Hi Gayle, 

    Yes, I have relatives on Pico also. If you post some information on your family maybe others will try to connect, it seems very little is put on the list, but privately people are communicating. The list works better for me when I can bounce information that is written against my data base.

[Kaylene Simmiss]

Hi Patrica

I see that you have come across perhaps some of the family names that I am
trying to find - Simmiss which may have been Simas and Vieira.

My gr gr gr grandparents were Joseph Vieira and Theresa??? Simmiss Vieira.
Their son was Joseph Simmiss nee Vieira from Portugal (another docuement had
the Azores) who married Aug 22 in 1887 at the age of 39??? (i think), a
sailor, to Susan Eliza Davy/or Davey aged 17 years in Motueka, Nelson, New
Zealand.

I have found it really difficult obtaining more information so that I can
continue my search...

I do not know the village where they were born.... this is the only
information about them that I have. It has come from a copy from the
births, deaths and marriages.

Any help in any direction would be greatly received.

regards
kaylene Simmiss

Hi Gayle,
 
   My paternal grandmother and grandfather are from Candelaria and I have ancestry in Sao Mateus as well. A few other villages with 1 or 2 people but Candelaria is the main village. My nrandparents are Manuel Furtado Cardoso and Maria Felizarda da Castro Cardoso. I have this line from the Minho site back to the 7th generation. There are lots of Goncalves, Ferreira, Costa Nunes, Machado, Matos, Rodrigues, Goulart, Silveira Pereira, Macedo, Neves, Luis, Sousa, Rosa, da Carmo, Silva, Garcia, Serpa, Melo, Bettencourt, Dutra, Moniz and Avila, Peixoto, Faria. They frequently married cousins....my grandparents were first cousins. I have several cousins on the site to this line that our connection is 200 plus years......perhaps we have a Candelaria connection! Perhaps some of the other Pico researchers will see some family names here!
 
Best regards,
Nancy Jean Baptista

Dear Kaylene, Janis & all list members,
Attached is my grandmother, Maria Conceicao Avila's ancestry from
Ribeiras, Pico & a few surrounding villages. If it doesn't come
through, I will send it to you privately. I would check names for you
but just had surgery2 weeks ago & not spending too much time online
just yet. All is well and I am thankful!!!

Nancy,

Doug Holmes asked about my most recent connection. In answering his question, I put together a list of surnames for the villages through which my paternal grandmother's family extended. I thought you might like to compare with your list.

My grandmother was Maria "Mary" Clara Medeiros, born 16 Mar 1878 in Candelaria, Pico. Her parents were Jose Rodrigues Medeiros and Josepha Clara Garcia. They were born 24 Jan 1825 and 22 Nov 1847, respectively.

The familial surnames from Candelaria include:
Rodrigues, Rodrgiues Serpa, Garcia Sousa, da Rosa, Medeiros, de Jesus, Ferreira Matos, Dutra Pereira, Sta. Quinteria, Rodrigues Sousa, Rodrigues Garcia, Costa Medeiros, Garcia, Gularte, Rodrigues Luis, Sousa, Rosa Maciel, Neves, Furtado Medeiros, Rodrigues Rocha, Cardoso, Luis Rodrigues, Luis, Ferreira, Ferreira Pereira, Dias Machado, Matos, Garcia Sarmento, Gularte Pereira, Garcia Luis, Martins, Furtado, da Costa, Vieira Tristam/ Tristao, Costa Maciel, Rodrigues Jorge, Rodrigues Pereira, Gonçalves, Concelos and Vasconcelos, Gularte Frade, Garcia Gonçalves Maciel, Gonçalves Maciel, Sao Jose Trinidade and Nunes.

My first ancestor from Sao Mateus was Eugenia Rosa Bettencourt, who was born 18 Decd 1756. Surnames from that village include:
Rodrigues Garcia, da Rosa, de Jesus, Vieira Lemos, Silveira, Pereira Cardozo, Silveira Costa, Sto. Antonio, Machado Ferreira, Fonçeca, das Candeis, Machado, Costa Gularte, Pereira, Gularte, Garcia, Garcia Melo, Vieira Bezerra, Vieira Lemos, Bettencourt Pimemtel, Garcia, Melo, Cardozo Clemente, Cardozo Frade, Rodrigues Sousa, Gularte Frade, da Costa, Madruga Pereira, de Faria, Cardozo, Costa Pereira, Sergueira, Ribeira Argolho and Vieira.

From Sao Joao, there are only a couple: Vieira Fagundes and Pereira.

From Magalena: Rodrigues Luis and Rodrigues

From Lages: da Rosa, Machado Ferreira, and Rodrigues.

Some of these lines go back to the early and mid 1600s.

Note: I hava a collateral line with a Manuel Furtado Cardoso, who was born 7 Jan 1707 in Sao Mateus. Too early to be your grandfather.

Let me know if any of these names rings a bell,
Gayle

Hi Gayle,
 
There is no attachment here.....the names listed below convince me we have some connections here.....in both Sao Mateus and Candelaria. I have many of these same double names....Rodrigues Serpa, Santa Quiteria,Dutra Pereira, Costa Goulart,Bettencourt, Melo and lots more of them!

Hi Gayle and others,

I am starting to try and research Pico from microfilms. 

My grandmother Mary Dutra came from Silveira, Pico as did at least three sisters and brothers.(Manuel, John, Mariana,Catherine and Frances)

The father's name was Joao Pereira Dutra and the mother was a Brum.  We think Catharina.

Just got a microfilm to see if I can find them.  Just had census records and now since to this group have some passenger lists and NEPS information.

Gayle, I apologize for not chiming in sooner but it has been a great while that I turned on my computer.  My maternal grandfather, Jose Garcia Jorge, was born in Candelaria and there are several generations of Garcia Jorges that are from there.  My maternal grandmother, Amelia da Gloria Matos, was born in Madalena.  Her father, Francisco Ferreira Matos, was born in Madalena and her mother, Francisca do Epirito Santo,  was born in Lages.   I was born and grew up in Fresno and Fresno County.  Lots of cousins still there.  Are you related to Fred Machado?

Al,

We’ve spoken before- shortly after I moved to Fresno. But, its been many years. I’ve met both John and Fred Machado, although they probably don’t remember it (it was at the Portuguese Hall in Easton and they were busy serving) but I’m not related. When I get home tonight I’ll look to see if I still have some records from when we last communicated. Unfortunately, today is the first day back for the new semester. I’m at work and in between meetings at the moment. I pray I get home before 8 tonight (which happened last semester). If not, then I’ll try to look this weekend. Seems to me there was a connection.

Gotta go. Sorry so short a note,

Gayle

Vivian,

No, my dad’s family was from MA- specifically, Martha’s Vineyard, Fall River and Taunton. I have met John and Fred Machado over at the Portuguese Hall in Easton. Not that they would remember me- they were serving dinners at the time and quite busy dealing with a hungry crowd.
Most of the relatives on this side of the family are Medeiros/ Madeiros and located in the San Jose/ Cupertino area.

Sorry, I’m of no help.

Hi Vivian,  Just thought I would butt in.  My wife was born and grew up in the Riverdale area.  She is Velma Leal Goularte.  The Leals have a long history in the Riverdale area.  My maternal grand parents were from Pico (Madalena a nd Candalaria).

From what I have found on just the Machado/Nunes side of the family on the Minho site we have so many relatives and no idea where they all are.  I guess all over the U.S. and Canada.  Well was just curious.  Thanks for the info.  Vivian

Hi Alvin,   My aunt Mary (Machado) Bezera grew up in Laton and after they sold their Dairy Farm they moved to Riverdale and she still lives there today.  I know most of the relatives lived in Lajes on Pico.  Mary Machado's father was Francisco Jose Machado.  Riverdale and Laton are not that far from each other.  I am sure if we dig a little we probably have common relatives. I have my family history on Ancestry.com if you would like to look at it. I can send you a invitation if you give me your personal email address.  I do not have my grandmothers birth record but am sure she was born in Lajes.  The other relatives could be from other towns I have not pinned them all down yet.  We do have Goularts in our line and many other names. So let me know if anything sounds familar.  Thank you, Vivian --- On Tue, 1/12/10, Alvin Goularte <agou...@sbcglobal.net> wrote:

If you have family from Martha’s Vineyard, are they listed in the book about the Portuguese from Martha’s Vineyard ?
My dad had a cousin named Mary Silva (I have a picture of her and one of her children as an infant) but I know nothing about this side of the family. I seem to remember him saying she was a Morris cousin who married a Silva, but I couldn’t swear to it. Also, supposedly, some of the family were Silveira’s who changed their name to Silva. But, I have no info on any of them.

Gayle,   I don't know about a book of Martha Vineyard's portuguese.  My g. grandmother who was Mary (Rose) Silva was born in Mass. abt 1865-1875 I have been looking for her birth record but have not found it yet. Her father Antone Rose not sure when he was born but was born in the Azores. He started buying property abt 1880 in cottage city, Edgartown, Tisbury & Oak Bluffs.  Because he ran away with another women and was never heard from again or thats the story we heard. His wife Antonia Rose do not know her maiden name. In 1985 our family was notified that property taxes had not been paid on the property left and was auctioned off.  She was unable to pay the taxes and no one in our family was notified until it was to late.  So I do not know much about that side of the family and could not find him in the census records.  Don't know when he came to this country just that him, his wife and one son came here from the Azores. I did find some birth records for Mary Rose but the Mothers name does not match.  I don't know what he did for a living either. I know we are suppose to have relatives there by the last name of Rose but have not made any connections yet.  Just not enough info yet.  Well someday maybe I will find out. Thanks for your help.  Vivian (Silva) Christy

The book is called "Our Portuguese Heritage, an informal genealogy of the 3000 families on Martha's Vineyard." Marianne Holmes Thomas is the author. It was published by CHiP (The Community History Project) of Edgartown, MA. I bought the first two-volume set in 1996 for about $75. Its since been updated. I believe you can find the entire book online. Try googling Portuguese on Martha's Vineyard and see if it comes up. If not, google my name. The last time I did that, the fourth listing was my family's entry in the book.

I looked for Antone Rose and did not find him in the first edition. But, there were also some families with the surname Rosa, which you could check. Let me know if you find anything.

Gayle,
 
I don't know about a book of Martha Vineyard's portuguese.  My g. grandmother who was Mary (Rose) Silva was born in Mass. abt 1865-1875 I have been looking for her birth record but have not found it yet. Her father Antone Rose not sure when he was born but was born in the Azores. He started buying property abt 1880 in cottage city, Edgartown, Tisbury & Oak Bluffs.  Because he ran away with another women and was never heard from again or thats the story we heard. His wife Antonia Rose do not know her maiden name. In 1985 our family was notified that property taxes had not been paid on the property left and was auctioned off.  She was unable to pay the taxes and no one in our family was notified until it was to late.  So I do not know much about that side of the family and could not find him in the census records.  Don't know when he came to this country just that him, his wife and one son came here from the Azores. I did find some birth records for
Mary Rose but the Mothers name does not match.  I don't know what he did for a living either. I know we are suppose to have relatives there by the last name of Rose but have not made any connections yet.  Just not enough info yet.  Well someday maybe I will find out. Thanks for your help.  Vivian (Silva) Christy

Vivian,

If you have family from Martha's Vineyard, are they listed in the book about the Portuguese from Martha's Vineyard ?
My dad had a cousin named Mary Silva (I have a picture of her and one of her children as an infant) but I know nothing about this side of the family. I seem to remember him saying she was a Morris cousin who married a Silva, but I couldn't swear to it. Also, supposedly, some of the family were Silveira's who changed their name to Silva. But, I have no info on any of them.

Gayle,    Please forward my letter to her that would be great.  I know I have not seen Mary in such a long time.  I know my own mother is 89 now and she has Alzheimers.  It is so sad as when she was able to tell me I was not quite into the genealogy all the way.  So missed so much she could have told me.  I do plan to stop and see her later this year as we are going to visit my Mother in law who lives in Mariposa.  So on the way up I plan to stop and visit Mary Bezera.  It has been a few months since I spoke with her but she is always so happy when I do.  Thank you for all your help.  Vivian

Cynthia,

My grandmother came from Candelaria but her family extends into Sao Mateus and some from Sao Joao. Can you be more specific as to Antonio Nunes, his wife, their parents, etc. ? I’m at work right now, but I can check my records when I get home this evening (PDT). Also, I have the Amorim book for Sao Mateus, so if you need something looked up I can do that at home or possibly on Sunday, I can look at the microfilms for the village.

Cynthia & Emil,

 

My GG Grandfather, Daniel Francisco Da Rosa was from Pico as well.  Unsure of where exactly at this time. 

 

He settled in San Juan Bautista and Tres Penos, San Benito County, California and is buried in Hollister, California. 

 

I have yet to find any connections online with regards to Da Rosa and Pico.

 

Let's hope we can find some connections. :)

Hi Cynthia and other Pico people,
 
 Cynthia, I have quite a few Nunes in my Candelaria, Sao Mateus ancestors although many of my Nunes have the name Costa as part of the name. Do you have any additional family info for Antonio Nunes?
 
Robin, I see quite a few da Rosa's in my Candelaria line....do you have Daniels parents name?
I have a Joao Rosa married to an Antonia Sousa, no birth dates but their 1st child was born in 1713. A Jose Garcia Rosa ,b 3-12-1791, Candelaria. Manuel Rodrigues Rosa, b.around 1680 in Bandeiras...married Maria Pereira in 1707 and remarried Luzia Bettencourt in 1712. I see alot of the men in this line carried Rosa as a middle name.

Repost for Robin :

Nancy Jean,

Here's what I have, but not verified:

Daniel Francisco DeRosa
B abt 1845 Pico

Parents: Jose De Rosa
Izabel Mariana

That's all the information I have.

He may have traveled back to the Azores during 1879 to 1881. Dan's first wife (Luisa Jacinta Canhoto) passed away and then married her Niece (Filomena Jacinto Canhoto) in 1881. His first wife and her Niece were from Santa Cruz, Flores.

Thank you for your time. Nancy Jean, I'm keeping my fingers crossed. LOL

Robin Borba Besotes

[nancy jean baptiste]

Hi Robin,
 
I have a Jose Rosa Maciel and Isabel Mariana from Candelaria whose daughter born in 1847 married into my line....long shot but right timeline for your Daniel...did he have siblings? I can check the NEPHS site for children of this couple and look for Daniel. I'll let you know! The way our ancestors dropped or added names makes them quite illusive at times.
 
Kind regards,
Nancy Jean

I just checked the NEPS site and this Jose de Rosa Maciel and his wife Isabel Marianna did have a son named Daniel.....according to the site born in 1844.....it's one of those records with no info attached like the ones for my relatives who came to the states and left no info behind for the site. It looks like this Daniel was named for his grandfather. Could these be yours.....lot's of sibs for Daniel.

Could be?  Siblings - I have no idea.  I've recently been in contact with a cousin.  He's the GG Grandson of Dan and Dan's 2nd wife. His records are in storage, so he'll get back with me, but once he saw my tree he was surprised since he didn't have all the information.  So, who knows what he may come up with. 

 

I do have a San Benito County census that a person sent my grandmother and she left a post-it note commenting about a Manual De Rosa a couple houses/ranches apart from Daniel's.  She wonder if it could be a brother or other relation?  Now that I'm looking at the 1880 US Census, San Benito Co. San Juan Bautista Township, it shows a Manuel Rosa from the Azores, age 35 (which is the same age listed for Daniel).  So, either Daniel had a twin or possible relative.  Now, he could be a twin since twins run in the family.  Daniel's 2nd child (to his first wife) was my Great Grandmother, Mariana and she was a twin. 

 

I'm thinking with the Jose de Rosa and a wife of Isabel Marianna that you've found, it's pretty close.  Any suggestion on what we could search from here to investigate more?  Thanks,

Robin,

I checked the Amorim book for Sao Mateus for 1830 - 1860. Not one Daniel was born in the 30 years span. There were 5 notations of "indeterminable" with no further info and 3 more with death dates corresponding to birth dates. Of the five, one in 1845, two in 1846, one in 1853 and the last in 1853. Nancy's find in Candelaria might work. I looked at the NEPS site and saw that most of the other options were either excluded by date or the lack of a child named Daniel.

Once you get more info, it'll be easy to go forward. The films for Sao Mateus are legible and complete. Unlike those for Candelaria, which are often faded, ink-smeared or simply missing altogether.

Cynthia,

I see two possibilities for your Antonio Nunes. There may be more, but here's what I've found so far:
1. Francisco Nunes and Maria Josefa. He was born 15 Jul 1809 and d. 21 Apr 1878. Her years were 1808
-1868.
Their children: Manuel Francisco 1831-1907, Francisco . 1833, Jose Nunes Silva 1835-1884, Teresa b 1844,
Joao b 1846, Sebastiao b 1851, and Isabel b 1855.

2. Manuel Francisco Nunes and Emerenciana. He was b 2 Oct 1800, she on 24 Dec 1808. Their children:
Manuel 1830-1830, Manuel b 1831, Maria Rosa b 1834, Antonio b 9 Feb 1840, Rosa Conceicao 1842
-1925, Joao b 1845, Mariana b 1848 and Jose Francisco Nunes 1851-1909.

Does any of this seem to match up with what you know ?

Hi Robin,
 
Jose and Isabel had 9 children....Daniel Francisco is named after his maternal grandfather, Daniel Francisco Matos....he has an older brother Manuel born in 1833....that's probably the one in the 1880 census a few houses away from Daniel. It looks from the NEPS site that possibly several of the 9 kids left the Azores, Manuel,b.1833, Jose b.1839, Daniel b.1844, Quiteria,1849 and Helena 1853.
 
Daniels older sister, Maria Isabel married Jose Garcia Rosa and they had 2 girls named Ana that died young , a girl named Isabel and a son named Manuel born in 1868. 
 
Another sister Isabel Marianna Coracao, married Francisco Jose Silveira, had 6 or so kids, one named Manuel. Looks like she stayed in the Azores but it appears that most of the kids left.
 
Another sister, Ana Isabel Coracao, married Francisco Furtado Silva and had 2 daughters in the Azores and it's not clear they stayed in the Azores. 
 
Perhaps you can see some other potential family members in the census records. Lots and lots of similarities to your family.......were there any Maciels or Marshalls nearby yiur family in the census? Not unlikely they just dropped Maciel ....da Rosa was the choice....
 
happy hunting!

Thanks Nancy!  Where on Pico did you find them?  I'll look over the census records this afternoon.  I'm tied up this morning.  I do remember seeing Manual being married, but he was listed as Jose Dutra's partner in a dairy or ranching with Jose family listed.  No spouse or children that I could see for Manual.  So, he could have lived in a neighboring county. 

 

I'll check back as soon as I can.  TTFN, Robin Borba Besotes

Thanks Gayle,

I'll try and do some research this afternoon. I'm waiting to hear from a
cousin to see if he has more information to help narrow down more
information. The cousin still lives in San Benito County, so I'm hoping
he'll have even a little piece of the puzzle. Will keep you posted.

Hi Cheryl,

Hi Debmarie, my name is tony & I am doing research on my gg parents from Terceira & San Miguel, IF it is not a problem I would appreciate it very much if you could obtain for an address where I could write for copies of Birth, Marriage, Death & Baptism Records.  & if at all possible some phone numbers. (hopefully they will speak english).   Both sets of Grand Parents are from Portugal, & I am trying to find as much information as I possibly can.   Thanking you in advance for any help you can provide.  Also if you have members who have asked for your help & it would be too much of a load, please advise.                                                                 Once Again  Thank You --- On Wed, 3/17/10, debmarie <mzleo...@comcast.net> wrote: From: debmarie <mzleo...@comcast.net> Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Terceira To: "Azores Genealogy" <azo...@googlegroups.com> Date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 7:53 AM Hello...

Hi

 

my name is Kaylene Simmiss, and I have traced my ancestors to the Azores.  I am wondering if you are actually a relative as I have been told that our family name may have been from Simas...now known as Simmiss.

 

I would love to hear from you if this is the case.

 

regards

kaylene

Kaylene,

If you hear the Portuguese pronunciation of Simas, it would sound kind of like SEE-Mish.  So I'd say your spelling is a phonetic representation from way back when.

Yes, I was born on the island and immigrated to Toronto in 1971......where are you located.

Hi Gayle,  Sorry for such a long time to reply.  I moved and now i can't find all of my genealogy records; I will freak out completely if they have been lost.  I've been collecting whatever data I can find for about 10 years. This information seems familiar to me...I know he had a sister ast name Nunes. One of his brothers was named Francisco.  Another brother had Silva in the name...

 

I'll look for the right box of papers. Thanks for any help you can provide.

 

Cynthia
