There are some good maps created by Ana da Guia Pereira on my Portuguese Genealogist Master List for each island.
Click your way to it from this home page:
You'll see each freguesia and the boundaries of each one that surrounds it.
Sao Mateus da Calheta, Terceira has a very beautiful church. For me, it's one of the prettiest sights as viewed from Angra to the east. Stands out prominently.
May own Rocha Homem family was from Sao Mateus, before they moved to Sao Bento, outside of Angra.

I'm not that knowledgable about Terceira, but I'm wondering if anyone on the list is familiar with parishes from this island?
I am looking for a marriage around 1703. Originally, my descendants married in 1703 in São Matheus de Calhetas (Angra do Heroism), but he was a widower, so the record just lists his deceased wife. I searched 50 years back in this parish with no luck.
Can anyone tell me of the nearest other parishes in this timeline to São Matheus? (I'm hoping to find the first marriage in a surrounding parish).
