I've just started to research the Moraes side of my family in the Azores. I've found the baptismal records for all my aunts & uncles born in Faial. Using them I've been able to locate the baptismal record for my grandmother from Pico. Everything points to my grandfather having been born on San Miguel in Lagoa in Agua do Pau (although interestingly, unlike my grandmother, his parents names are never listed on any of the records for their children). I've searched the baptismal records for Serafino de Moraes in the ledgers from that parish/freguesia for 1873 (the year I've been told he was born). He wasn't listed, so I started to look at 1874 but the first few pages are missing (the ledger starts at number 4). Is there any to find out if that's just an oversight or if they are truly missing from the original ledger.
