Hi, I have recently received a birth certificate for an ancestor which shows his father (John Augustus NESBITT) was born in Sao Migel, Azores. I had been struggling for some time trying to find him in St Michaels, England as that was on John's own death certificate!
I've since found IGIs for two brothers born in Sao Miguel - George b 1830 and Charles b 1832, but no record of John. Their parents were George NESBITT and Elisabeth HUGHAM. Given that they must have been in the Azores for at least 3 years they must have left some trace there. I am assuming that they were involved in shipping or oranges - or both. Does any of this sound familiar to members of the group? Otherwise can I please have some advice on how to research this? Of course, since I had a look on the net to see what the Azores look like I have no objection in the least to trekking off there, but that's not going to happen anytime soon. What an extraordinary place - Sao Miguel looks like a bit of Ireland fell off and sailed south.
