Hi Cheri, I am still adding information. These documents are important if you are searching for information on a specific village and there are no longer parish records available. On other occasions they confirm the information one has on a family: in certain villages there are many couples with similar names, living in the same time period. On the documents there is the name of the applicant, his parents and grandparents and their places of birth. For example there is an application for two brothers: one is native of Terceira and the other is native of Faial. Once someone pays for a record that information will be available for all. I will be adding more photos soon. João Ventura Terceira

Thanks for making these records available. It must have taken a lot of time and hours and hours of work! Thank you! A couple of questions on how to use the web site. 1) I guess if I knew I had a priest in my tree, I'd just type in his name. But I don't. So I decided just to look at the list. I didn't see anyone being listed as a native of Sao Miguel. Is this a list of everybody, or are you still adding to it? 2) Blocked information: Is that just a gray bar, or is that where the details will become active once someone pays for that record? I love the old photos. I wonder who Mr. Borges was on Sao Miguel. Someone really liked his garden!
