Hi Vivian, May will be pretty in Pico. I know a very good guide/taxi driver who speaks fabulous english and portuguese both....he's from Pico but lived in RI for many years and has been back in Pico for about 15 years. He knows the island's every nook and cranny and is extremely helpful in whatever way you need. His name is Fernando Sousa and I'm happy to give you his contact info if you'd like. Day trips to Sao Jorge are FUN! I like to buy my tickets online at Transmacor ahead of time but in May there shouldn't be crowd problems. There are beautiful adegas to stay in.....we like either Adegas do Pico which has several to choose from also, Casa da Terra Alta both have online sites....Adega do Canto is lovely too and can be found under Casa's Goulart. Let me know if you'd like info regarding any of this Pico info, Nancy Jean Baptista (Cardosa/o, da Silva, Peixoto, de Castro and others from Candelaria, Pico)

The 1900s records should be at the Civil Registry. Pico has 3. Each freguesia belongs to a Civil Registry. You go to the corresponding Civil Registry. I had the name of an agent. Give me a couple of days to hunt down the info. I don't think Con Ginny Al is around anymore, but I could be mistaken.
