List members, When my grandparents traveled to Terceira in 1919, my mother's 5 year old brother was bit by a dog with rabies and died. She was 8 years old. She remembered (she is deceased now) all the happenings around his death, but did not know the disposition of his body.
Two or three months ago, I wrote to someone in the Azores (I think it was by sending an email to an Azores Volunteer on a Web site somewhere), and received an email from a government worker in Angra. She said that the record is in the: "registo civil de Angra do Heroismo. But may I can help you, we've here a indicates of terms parochial after 1911, anda I found in august 20 of 1920, in freguesia da Conceição, Angra do Heroísmo, obituary nº 503, of the book 1." And that I must contact the "conservatoria do registo civil de Angra do Heroismo". In this situation, this kind person wrote back that she had searched it for me and found the record. Now, I would like a copy of the record, so how do I accomplish that task? Also, would there be any markings on a grave, or what would have been done with the death of a child? Additional question: Those of you who have visited Terceira- how are these government offices set up? How does someone get a response? Once I emailed Joao Ventura and he assisted me. I don't understand how the different agencies there are organized and what the functions are. Maybe my method of asking for assistance is not what they need to be able to provide the service? Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this.
