I don't know where you could find such a list, if at all. However, if
anyone in your family was in the records of Azores, before or many
years after 1900, any reference to a professional or person of rank,
of any kind, would automatically be noted in the church records, along
with their names. The only way you will ever know the parentage of
people with parents or father unknown, is if later someone comes
forward and makes such a declaration. In such case, the priest would
make a notation on the margin of the record. Suffice to say, though I
am sure you would rather have your complete ancestry, almost all
people from the Azores are interrelated. The same holds true of
Madeira and Mainland Portugal, though there are more exceptions in the
mainland because of foreign influence.
