I have some pictures from my 2006 trip to Sao Jorge. Because I like to have a photograph of the church, baptismal font and altars where my ancestors were baptized, married, etc. I have some from Rosais. A few years ago, I took a picture of a font thinking it was the font where the ancestor had been baptized. When I returned to the same church to talk to the priest, I happened to mention that the font looked newer than those I had seen in other churches. He told me is had been replaced after some problem occurred. I asked where the old font was and was told it was attached to the wall in the back room and used for the priests to wash his hands. I now have a picture of the old font where my husband's ancestor was baptized. Since that, I always ask about the age of the fonts. In Rosais, the "old" font (the largest I have seen so far) is in a park and used as a bird bath. I have a picture of that font too. I don't know how long it will take me to scan the pictures; however, contact me off list and I will send you the scans as soon as I can. Celeste, Hayward, CA
