I don't know if this will help you or not ....... Familysearch.org has a lot of
records for Brazil online now, both Civil Registrations and Catholic Church
records. After MANY years of searching for birth and family info on my
husband's grandfather (born in Brazil and left there for Terceira before
immigrating into the U.S.) I found his birth record online and was then able to
find his parent's marriage record in Brazil which then allowed me to go to
Terceira for more successful research. If you don't have a location to begin
your search with, it could be a long process...... kind of a needle in a
haystack. But, hey, the needle iIS in the haystack, right? Just waiting to be
found.
Good luck and happy hunting!
