Joao Moreira b. 1868, Sao Miguel island

Hi Azores researchers,

 

My mother’s father was about 50% Portuguese and his father came from Sao Miguel, Azores. I posted before he was Joao Moreira who changed his name to John Morin born 1868.  He lived in RI and Massachusetts while married to Josephine Levitre. He is related to a Joao Bento Moreira born about 1900.(pure guess) My closest and only second cousin match is Joao Bento and is definitely his ggrandfather. So this is where I am searching now after getting nowhere. He also lived in Montreal, Canada and was married to Maria Da Paixo Martins. He had these children Olimpio Moreira b 1934  d in Ponta Delgado 2007,and Josephina Moreira Mederios born 1929, Gennoveva Maiato, Silvina de Jesus martins Silva all from the matches tree. There may have been different mothers. The match reports Joao Bento Moreira was from Sao Miguel Arcanjo, Azores.

 

Thanks for taking a look at my long shot. The rest of my matches are fourth cousins and this match is not willing to put us in touch with other family for testing at this time.

Thank you,

Sherry

Hi Sherry,

If you tested with FTDNA, you need to join the Azores DNA Project so I can look. If you have not tested at FTDNA, you need to download your raw data and upload it to FTDNA as well as My Heritage. You need to fish in as many ponds as you can with your (or your mom's) DNA.

Once I see your matches, I can tell you if you are matching Vila Franca researchers.

I see the name Maiato. This name has its origins and appears in Ribeira Grande in larger numbers than elsewhere. There is also a branch in Rabo de Peixe. Moreira also appears frequently in Ribeira Grande.

JR, good Morning 

Do you have any Moreira families from Vila Franca do Campo?  This Moreira may be from there because the mentioned place is  S Miguel Arcanjo which to me points to Vila Franca.

My mother is there.

Beth B215273 B. Coones

We are in all databases. I thought I was part of the project and that’s why I have the emails. It lists her in Azores Island and Iberian Peninsula projects. I will research and see  if I missed something.

Thanks for your assistance!

Her maternal Aunt is Betty Bolin B215273 and I use this to try to filter for paternal only.

In My Heritage she is listed as Mary Beth Coones (Born Phelan)

Beth Coones on 23 and me

Hi Sherry S,

The email you post under here is not the same email that you have registered to your mother's kit.

Also, I do not see a difference in the kit numbers between your mother and aunt. The kit numbers are identical.

No luck this time. I don't have any Moreira's in late Vila Franca. It's not that common but there are some.

Hi Cheri,

 

Sorry about that. Betty Bolin is B222474. Let me see if the email for FTDNA forwards. I think I needed a different one for each person.

 

Thank you Cheri
