The family is from Vila Nova (Praia da Vitoria), Ilha Terceira, Azores, Portugal. I'm assuming Vila Nova is the parish and the town and Praia da Vitoria is a district or other governmental location. Help, please! Where is the best place to obtain sample records so I know what I am seeing on the vital records as I find them? What about general research tips on getting started?
