Cheri, Do you happen to know what is listed in the column headings? Using an online Portuguese to English translation, so far I have translated No.of passport, No. of passengers, Name, and Filiation. I can see the year but not sure if the day is before or after the year. Also, are these suppossed to be in numerical order? Because (if the day is listed after the year) I found October 1 - 4, then a number that looks to be either a 5, 6, or 8, then the next page the day looks to be 12. The person that filled out these books has a strange way of listing numbers, the number one looks like 1 or ^ (an upward pointing arrow) and the number 5 & 6 look alike.
Thank you for the help you have provided. Paul G. On Sep 19, 5:46 pm, Cheri Mello <[email protected]> wrote: > Paul G, > > Sorry, I meant to say the passaporte (emigration OUT of the Azores).
