wow, thank you all for the info. It seems that there are some missing records which just can not b traced. It really sounds that the geneology books you all have listed can be of tremendous help when you arrive at the begining of the church records and are at a dead end. Those books seem like a wealth of information, but are they only in portuguese text? I can read a little portuguese , but it seems like it will get a little overwhelming if you dont read portuguese often. Do any of you know if any of the sao miguel books have been translated into english text?
