Thanks Rosemarie, I'm off work in one more week and can hardly wait to dig for details. Ally In a message dated 3/15/2011 11:49:03 P.M. Mountain Daylight Time, [email protected] writes:
Dear Listers Some great news for those with ancestors from the Island of Faial. The book Familia Faialenses by Marcelino Lima has been scanned by Google for some time but we were unable to read it page-by-page. Now thanks to the University of Michigan we can view the book and even make JPG's and I believe PDF's of it! This book can be viewed on the site: www.hathitrust.org. Once the page loads you can type in the name Marcelino Lima in the left-hand search box (there are three). When the next page comes up the book Familia...is at the top, click on "full view" and the book will start appearing. To the left are sections you can click on to navigate OR you can use the arrows at the bottom of the page. The arrows are used the same as the CCA Site; the two in the middle navigate page-by-page, the two outside take you to the 1st or last page of the book. This book is all in Portuguese but the genealogical part is pretty easy to follow. Just remember that "n" next to a date means naceu-- born, "m" next to a date is morreu/morto--died, and "c" stands for casou--married. Good luck!
