]]> Comment on Tuesday’s Tip: Take Notes Even If You Have the Records In Hand by Ami Mulligan http://www.researchjournal.yourislandroutes.com/2012/02/tuesdays-tip-take-notes-even-if-you-have-the-records-in-hand/comment-page-1/#comment-1869 Ami Mulligan Tue, 28 Feb 2012 16:40:01 +0000 http://www.researchjournal.yourislandroutes.com/?p=2885#comment-1869 I have been reading your blog, and I think you have so much good information here! I also have been perusing your website, and also find it very interesting and full of information. I am glad that there are pioneers in Hawaii posting genealogical information online; it provides a good way to dive into genealogy! I am beginning my genealogy search. I have always loved genealogy, but just didn't know how to jump into it beyond my great grandparents. I am also part-Portuguese (some from the Madeira; others I am still searching for), and am finding that I need to do research all over the world! It is so important to take notes - I am learning that now. I will find something, and save it/copy it, notate source, and then have no idea what I was thinking when I copied it. I created a Word document so that I can type into it, glean what information I can, and note at the bottom what questions I have from the record and what records I can pursue to answer those questions.

She was tracing the family history. The papers were either misplaced or taken by another family member. I would like to get a copy because she had traced back the Azores. Most of my mother's family still live in the Bay Area. De Braga was one of the names in the papers that the lady sent to my mother. She was tracing the family history.

Though if your friend's roots are from Maia, Sao Miguel Island, then there might be a chance there is a connection further back.
