I'm new at this list and I tried to read all the messages posted in the past but there are too many!I Does anyonw knows how to get help to find Christening and Marriage data at the Azores? My great-grandfather, MANUEL RAPOSO DOS SANTOS, came to Brazil (haven't found any reference of how and when, yet) and married my brazilian great-grandmohter in Niterói - a town near Rio de Janeiro, where I live. He was from VILA DE NORDESTE, NORDESTE, ILHA DE SÃO MIGUEL. His parents were ANTÓNIO RAPOSO DOS SANTOS and BARBARA LEITE MACHADO DOS SANTOS and he was born around 1840, 1841 - according to his death certificate he died when he was 56, on May, 25th.1897. I know the records of Christenings from that period must already be at Ponta Delgada, for its over 100 years anda I wrote the chief of the Public Library and she said they would help but never wrote back. 1- Do you people, since you have much more experience, think I should keep on insisting? 2- Do any of you know of someone in Azores who may be interested in exchanging information? I presently have all of my family on records and I am willing to help searching records on Librarys and other places here in Rio de Janeiro. 3- Is there another way to reserach (I already ordered the LDS mfs from Nordeste, Azores) without visiting Azores? I plan to go someday but right now is impossible.,. If any of you need help translating documents from Portuguese to English I am at you disposal. Thank you so much for you help
