You are correct Cheri.
The APGHS (American-Portuguese Genealogical and Historical Society) materials are indeed housed at the Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese American Archives. These materials include the vast indexing system of known Portuguese immigrants to the United States that the APGHS put together, and their book collection. The materials are open for on-site public consultation without special arrangements. I will also add that we have the multi-volume genealogies for Ilha Terceira and Faial, Pico, Flores, Corvo that were published by the goverment of the Açores in the last couple of years. These too are open for on-site public consultation without special arrangements . I verified with the Direcção de Comunidades a couple of weeks ago: no other island genealogies have been published (in this format) , however, they do expect follow-up publications in the near future. If anybody has follow-up questions, feel free to contact me off-the-list. Sónia Sónia Pacheco Librarian Archivist Ferreira-Mendes Portuguese American Archives Claire T.

Judy F. and Sonia P. from UMass are on this list, so hopefully one of them will confirm on Monday.
