Dolores, And George Pacheco has reported to Family Search not to abbreviate Azores as Arizona. I've seen some other really strange, random stuff too in their index.
It's not uncommon for people from the Azores to say Portugal. They do it even today. They figure people don't know where the Azores are, so they just say Portugal. Drives me nuts. Someone will be missing from band for a couple of weeks and I"ll ask where they are and the response is Portugal. I have to ask if it's the continent or the Azores. ARGH! I know where the Azores are. I don't know why they say that. Why can't the just say Azores, Terceira, Pico or whatever? Cheri -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
