Hi Rick, Thank you so much! This is amazing. I understand that the Portuguese shift names around, but I am a little confused about why you think it may be the same person. Can you elaborate?
I wish I could find my g-father-in-law in the passaportes, but I haven't found anything yet. There are several records for him that say he was born in Ponta Delgada, but I'm told that could include the whole area. Do you know anything about that?
