da Costa, de Sousa Domingos, dos Santos
yvonne domings
date that my grandmother-in-law's family (the Costa's) came to the
US. I used this information to more specifically search the CCA site
as I was advised by Cheri (thank you). The beautiful thing is that
the CCA site confirmed the correct spelling of the names Leopoldina,
Idalina and their parents Maria dos Santos and Manuel Joaquim da Costa
all born in Ribeirinha, Ribeira Grande. I have found their parents
names as well which was very cool.
My question now is where to go from here. Do I need to write (via
snail mail) to the parish for birth and marriage certificates? Also
what information do I need to do that? I only have the year of birth
on them, so I'm not sure I'll be able to get anything with just that.
I have had no luck finding Joao de Sousa Domingos on the CCA site.
Unfortunately the list I found the date on for the Costa's didn't go
far enough back to cover his immigration to the US. I did have a date
from his Emergency passport application, but can't find anything on
the CCA site around that date. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Yvonne

I am attaching two files which you may find of interest. I think when
your Maria dos Santos married she used the name Maria Julia Arruda. I
will try and verify by looking for the baptism of any children. The
dates of this couple Manuel Joaquim de Costa and Maria Julia Arruda seem
to be right.
I have been working with data from Ribeirinha records for over 10 years
and have accumulated much data. Also attached is the marriage record.

Portuguese shift names around, but I am a little confused about why
you think it may be the same person. Can you elaborate?
I wish I could find my g-father-in-law in the passaportes, but I
haven't found anything yet. There are several records for him that say
he was born in Ponta Delgada, but I'm told that could include the
whole area. Do you know anything about that?

The name Manuel Joaquim de Costa while consists of common names the
combination of them is not that common. This Manuel Joaquim de Costa was
born before 22 Jan 1856 (Based on age given on marriage record) you said
your Manuel Joaquim was born about 1855. As far as the name Maria dos
Santos and Maria Julia Arruda, I have found that woman seem to have
their names recorded in more different ways than men and most of the
time only the first name remains the same over the course of years. My
2d great grandmother was known at different times in her life as Rita
dos Santos, Rita de Jesus, Rita da Conceicao, Rita de Sousa, and Rita de
Pimentel. So what needs to be done is to find a record that names one of
their children (Lipordinha, Mariana or Aldina) and names them.
I took a quick look at the FHC this past Thursday to see if I could find
anything and The Baptism records for 1881 in Santissimo Salvador are not
on the microfilm but I did look at 1880 and 1882-83 which is all I have
access to I did find the birth of a child Angelina baptized on 1 Jan
1880. The parents names are the same as I previously reported. This may
require a request to the Archives in Ponta Delgada for a copy of the
birth record of Lipordinha if you know her birth date.
Where on the CCA site did you find the passports?
