I have found your Ggrandfather, José Rodrigues Fieira, in the book. He was
23 years old when he married Maria da Trinidade(24 years old-) on 9-19-1867
in the Nossa Senhora do Rosário parish in Lajes. It says that they lived on
the upper road in Fazenda, which, at that time, was part of the Rosário
parish but later had their own. They had several children:
Francisco, born 5-24-1870
Jose born 6-12-1871
Maria born 3-17-1874
Maria born 6-17-1876
António born 10-8-1878
António born 8-8-1879
João born 7-16-1880
Raulino born 9-20-1881
Joaquina born 12-30-1882, died 1-29-1883
Ana born 6-22-1884
Emília born 8-19-1885
His parents were António Rodrigues Vieira and Maria da Trindade. They were
married on 4-26-1838 . Her parents were Francisco José Vieira and Isabel
Maria. They had several children:
Francisco born 2-8-1839
Maria born 11-27-1842
José born 3-23-1844
Maria born 1-6-1846
I have attached a copy of the page from the LDS Family History Library
showing the microfilm roll numbers for Nossa Senhora do Rosario, your family
parish. Just pick out the one that you want if you want to get the baptismos
according to the year. You will want # 1591270. For some reason, the copy
came out rather small, so use the "zoom in" feature of your computer and
enlarge it or use a magnifying glass. If you want, and don't know yourself,
I can explain how to get to the page in the LDS website familysearch.org/
His parents, as listed above, are on the same page that I am sending you as
an attachment to you and is the first listing on the top of the page, marked
as #4, which is the next generation back from José, who is generation #5.
I'm still researching for additional information on his parents, etc. I'll
send it as soon as I have had time to decipher everything. So far, I have
not found them . Hope this helps a little bit.
God Bless to you and yours and Happy Holiday

I think I like the charts and reports the most with FTM and its ability to
handle a large data base along with names other than First Middle and Last.
With the program you can enter some of the long Portuguese names.

Since I couldn't sleep last night except for about 2 hours, I started doing
more research on your husbands family. I ended up creating a new file in my
Genealogy Program, Reunion 8(for Mac). Anyway, attached is a "register
report" on the family. I can't do anymore right now. However, if you have a
genealogy program, I can send a "ged.com" file to you which you can open in
your genealogy program as a new file, and you would have all the information
that I have imputed into it. Just let me know. If you aren't familiar with a
ged.com file, I can explain further. If you have any trouble opening the
file, let me know. It is a Word document, that is it was created in
Microsoft word, so if you have Word, you shouldn't have any trouble opening
it.
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your husband.
God Bless

I would still recommend you call me tonight when you get ready to do this.
That way, I can walk you through the process and help you get the file set
up. I have no problem with your calling me.
Best of luck to you and God Bless

I copied the pages that are relevant for your husbands family from the book.
I also copied the front of the book so you know what it is. I would suggest
that you print the pages out and then put them in order. I downsized the
documents since they were so large. The average page was 2 MB and it would
have really clogged up your "mailbox". I don't think it will make any
difference when you print these out.
I started on page 198, Antonio Rodrigues Vieira. I did all of pages 198-201.
Start on the top of page 202 on Francisco Antonio Vieira. The top sentence
above Antonio I have already imputed into the data base as it was part of
the item from the page before. You can see from this how long it takes to
imput this information. I put in three mornings, about 4 hours each and I
only got through pages 198-201 or 4 pages. That's 380 names but it is slow
going.
Also, you have to be very careful when you imput the data that you don't
get the names mixed up as to the generations. In other words, you have to be
careful that you put the names in the correct order or under the correct
parents, etc.. I can also explain this on the phone but it is just too
difficult to type all of that. Please feel free to call me. I have unlimited
nationwide calling, in other words I can call long distance and talk all day
and it makes no difference. So, if you would like me to, I can call you back
when you're ready and it won't cost you anything.
Best of luck with the project Carolina
God Bless

Once you have the baptism(baptismo) or casamento or obito(marriage or
obituary), then you start to have documentation of your families existence.
Normally, you get the baptismo first, then the marriage and then,if you go
all the way, the obito. In other words, you follow their life. These
documents give you much information. For example, the baptismo will give the
individual Childs name, the parents, usually paternal and maternal
grandparents and sometimes even godparents(usually family members or close
family friends.)This is where all the work starts. However, if you just want
the information for your family, then what's in the book and eventually what
is in your genealogy program, will suffice.
If you need information on the Family History Center as far as how to
research there, let me know as I have a document I put together a long time
ago which explains everything.
Well, I'll let you go. Best of luck to you. If you have problems, let me
know.

Hi Dave and other Vieiras
Our family, from Sao Jorge, is not directly related to any Vieiras;
but when my grandfather Joao Antonio Borba, emigrated in 1901 at the
age of 12, he lived with a John and Emilia Vieira on a dairy farm in
San Luis Obispo where they lived until their deaths. This couple had
5 children, all either mentally and/or physically challenged, and they
all died young. My grandfather helped care for the children and also
worked as a ranch hand. When my grandfather was alive, I was too young
to be curious about our family history. Now, of course there is no
one alive in our family that can help me. I have to wonder how it
was that my grandfather did not go to live with family? Who was this
Vieira family? How did he come to know them?. He never explained it
to his own children and we grandchildren have no clue??
Does this family sound familliar to anyone?
Happy New Year everyone!!!
