So this doesn't get lost in a thread about a particular surname, I'm going to repost it here.
JoElayne said: <<Could someone fill me in on what the "CCA site online" is? JoElayne Johnson>> CCA is an acronym for Centro de Conhecimento dos Acores. The literal translation is Center of Knowledge of the Azores. The URL is: http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/ig/ This site is a work in progress. One day, it will have marriage dispensations, process "de genere" (family information that men wishing to become priests had to submit about their families showing no Jewish blood), genealogical manuscripts, parish records, and passports (ships lists leaving the Azores). Currently, it has some genealogical manuscripts, some parish records (Corvo, Flores, and Sao Jorge are complete, I think), and some passportes (port of Ponta Delgada through 1939). -- Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
