Yolanda, Nancy, I would love to see your pictures of Sao Jorge too. I have a Silveria as my gggrandmother but do not know yet which town she is from. I do plan to go there next year sometime after June. From other pictures I've seen it looks beautiful. Thanks for sharing. Vivian (Silva) Christy

I took some great ones of the town and church because my ggrandfather was baptised there and my Mom never thought she'd see anything of her family villages. I met several different people but the only person whose name I asked for was a family who I took pictures of the grandfather and the granddaughter on the donkey....a wonderful picture.... the family name was Silveira and the house was on Rua s.t. Ana....(that is the way the daughter wrote the address) The Beira cheese factory makes the best cheese on Sao Jorge in my opinion.....a bit spicey....although every cheese I've eaten from Sao Jorge was delicious....it's the main thing I bring home from the Azores each year...Sao Jorge cheese, Pico wine and fig preserves! I wish I had met some relatives but I have no idea yet who they are.....I'm sure there are cousins though. With 3 ggrandfathers and 1 greatgrandmother all from Sao Jorge I'm sure I have relatives. Since my discovery of my ggfather Antonio Baptista from Topo I have found already by researching the baptismal records that he was the 3rd child...he had an older brother Manuel, an older sister Rosa and a younger brother Jose......that's all I've found so far and I'm still looking!
