There are ate least 3 parishes called Sao Roque, in Terceira, Sao Miguel and Pico. I think Muniz is more common at Sao Miguel. ]

Differance in first names Hi Rick, Thankyou for your reply. Im sorry i should have explained the certificates more. The marriage certificates are Australian. There is mistakes on Australian certs, spelling etc. We do not have birth certs, as the place of birth on the marriage certificates only say Sao Roque, Azores Portugal. We dont have an arrival date, the birth dates we have come from the marriage certs as well. There is doubts that the two men are brothers. Their names are as follows, Francisco Joaquim Muniz b 1836 Sao Roque, Azores, Portugal d 1899 Smythesdale,Victoria,Australia father; Jose Joaquia Muniz mother; Maria Joaquina Francisco has a different version of his name on all his 9 childrens birth certificates Manuel Carrerio Muniz b 1826 Sao Roque,Azores,Portugal d 1882 Creswick,Victoria,Australia father ; Manuel Francisco Carrerio Muniz mother; Maria Jaoquina Rea Manuel changed his surname to Monish in Australia I have tried to find this family in the Azores on this site before but havent had any luck, thankyou for your advise Best Wishes Chris From: Richard Francis Pimentel <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Tuesday, 1 May 2012 11:21 PM >Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] New Topic.
