It depends when the birth took place. If it was prior to 1910 then it would be in the archives if it was after 1910 it would be in the registry. If the parish is in the CCA website http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/ig/ . If you send for the birth record you will need to know village (Parish) and date of birth it also helps if you know the parents names.
