Serva de / Servants of

 

  Compiler and her sister Patricia.  

I think this page can be instructive in so many ways --- first there IS a possibility that your ancestor could have been enslaved & then a servant.  These people would not show up under any of the surname tabs in this blog - but might show up later at some time if I can connect them to a surname.  In my West Virginia research I was able to match up a few enslaved in the US with their post emancipation names in some cases;  second you might be related to the employer - as I am related to Nicolau Araujo Neves - my fourth great grandfather who had a "serva de";   third you might be related to one of the witnesses or godparents.  For instance, m ancestor Rosa Maria (dos Santos) da Natividade (daughter of Nicolau Araujo Neves) was a godmother in one instance. 

The items in bold (other than the name of the servant) are names that I am studying or my family names.

Twins & Triplets

 

These are monarch caterpillars growing on milkweed in my garden.  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the baptism records it can be difficult to catch twin situations.  This is b/c often they each have their own record & sometimes the records can be separated in sequence by another baptism.  I generally make a long list on a ledger & so if I happen to see two kids with the same birth date and the same parents I can assume that they are twins.  Have to be careful though b/c sometimes a number of siblings with different dates of birth are all baptized on the same day.  And you can be a twin even if you were born on one day and your twin was born on the next day.

Cu Cu Club / Coo Coo Club / Ladies of the Sao Nicolau Cape verdean American Women's Social Club

 

The CuCu Club was started by a group of women from Cape Verde - Sao Nicolau.  My gram was a member.  It was a very important social club for the ladies, some of whom did not yet speak English - some would always have a hard time with it. My gram never spoke it. 
I can only identify a few  members.  I am almost certain that # 1 is Clara Brito Livramento (who we called Nha Clara).  # 5 is my grandmother Maria Antonia Encarnacao (Almeida/Varella) Santos Cruz and # 6 is Maria Dominga (Maria d' Minga de Oliveira Soares).  When I am in New Bedford next time I will ask around to see if anyone can identify the other ladies.  Someone helped me identify them before but I can't find the note.  My gram was born in 1892 to give an idea of the age of these ladies.  

My thoughts:  I was at a funeral in NB in 2019 & a woman chastised me for using the words Coo Coo Club.  Well, first of all she wasn't even a "Snook" and secondly, the ladies took on that name (from what I understand) b/c their HUSBANDS teasingly called them that, and thirdly, she wasn't that much older than me and I knew what I knew from my gram who is in the photo.  Consider this --- on the other side of my family - who were non cape verdeans - my mother could barely and rarely leave the house on her own.  She had to be in the company of my father or one of my father's sisters.  How liberating then to go to New Bedford and see Ladies who had formed their own CLUB and were doing charitable works and having parties & enjoying the community of other women.  If they called themselves COO COO then it could not have been too objectionable.  And don't we do that still?  Don't we appropriate names to make them sting less?  But I can't imagine it "stinging".  These were STRONG women from where I sat.   Weigh in at the comments section to tell what you know about the naming of this CluB or any other tidbits of information about these amazing ladies.

She worked briefly as a mill worker.  She died in the early 1970's & is buried with her first husband at St. John's Cemetery.
