Jean-Guy, Are you trying to trace back in time? You should order all the documents for the names, dates, and places that you have, even though they are "recent." Obtain Artur's marriage from Quebec, Canada. Obtain Sofia's birth in Blainville (I don't know what state or country that is). Order Artur's birth from the Civil Registry on Sao Miguel, but you need to know which village he was born. The addresses can be found here: http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/genresources.html
Artur's birth may tell you where his parents married. It may also give you his grandparents too (I'm not sure what information from a record from 1956 provides). Good luck!
