Hello Lex, Welcome to the list. It appears your great grand parents (your grandmothers parents) were born in the time after the records were filmed. You are lucky you have their birth dates and the village which they were born so the archives should not have a problem in finding them. There are no books that I am aware of so your best bet is to get copies of their birth records from the archives. Once you have these you will be able to research your family using the filmed records which can be requested at the LDS family history centers.
This would be a good website to check out http://www.dholmes.com/rocha1.html there are other sites that may prove helpful perhaps some others will add to this.

I was born there but grew up in canada. my genealogy as far as i know is firmly from Flores, and i don't have access to many records. My fathers family is from the Mosteiro area and my mothers family from Lages das Flores and Fazenda das Flores. i can only go back three generations and some of that is missing. i want to start with the strongest line i have and that's my mothers maternal side. If anyone has any conecting info or leads or book titles and authors would be greatly appreciated. So here's the information. My Grandmother: Cecilia Vieira Mendonca B: July 29, 1937, Fazenda das Lages D: October 23, 1987, Lages das Flores Parents: Father Francisco Jose de Mendonca B: January 17, 1886, Fazenda das Lages D: July 14, 1970, Fazenda das Lages Mother Filomena Vieira Goncalves B: May 15, 1897, Fazenda das Lages D: February 1965, Fazenda das Lages --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
