Lex, I have the marriage book for Flores, "Casais Das Flores E do Corvo).? When Eric posted the baptism record for you grandmother Filomena, I checked for the marriages of her parents Antonio Jose Goncalves and Maria do Rosario Vieira.? They were married in Nossa Senhora da Rosario, Lages on May 23, 1891.? He was 53 years old and the son of Jose Caetano Goncalves and Ana Coelho. (It looks like Conceicao on Filomena bap. record) . Maria do Rosario Vieira was 33 years old and the dg. of Francisco Christiano Goncalves and Florinda da Trindade Vieira.
I could not find a marriage record for Jose Caetano Goncalves and Ana Coelho. Francisco Cristiano Goncalves son of Jose Caetano Lourenco (Bispo)?and Catarina de Sao Jose were married on Aug. 30, 1856 to Florinda da Trindade dg. of Joao Antonio Vieira and Ana Florinda da Trindade. P.38 I found?a record for a Joao Antonio?Vieira and Ana da Trindade? married on Nov. 17, 1826 but because of the name of Ana not having Florinda, I wasn't sure if this was the right couple.? There were no other record with the name Ana Florinda. If you want the information let me know. Jose Caetano Lourenco Bispo son of Manoel Lourenco Bispo and Ana Lourenco was married March 31, 1805 to Catarina de Sao Jose dg. of Antonio Francisco Goncalves and Ana de Sao Jose. P. 59 Manoel Lourenco Bispo son of Antonio Rodrigues Bispo and Catarina Lourenco (d), widow of 1st wife Barbara Furtado and 2nd wife Rosa Maria married on June 6, 1780 to Ana Lourenco dg. of Jose de Fraga and Joana Lourenco. p 84 Antonio Francisco Goncalves son of Joao Pimentel Ferreira and Isabel Furtado married on April 15, 1790 to Ana de Sao Jose dg. of Antonio Pimentel Gomes and Maria de Sao Jose p.17 All the above marriages are from Nossa Senhor da Rosario, Lages Helen -----Original Message----- From: Lex <[email protected]> To: Azores Genealogy <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Oct 8, 2009 1:50 pm Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Isla das Flores Genealogy help Hi everyone, i was wondering if someone could recommend a few books on Genealogy from Flores Island.

If anyone has any conecting info or leads or book titles and authors would be greatly appreciated. So here's the information.
