Hi Doug, Yes, I do have some copies of Confession Rolls because the priest allowed me to copy them when I visited Pedro Miguel, Faial, in the 1990's. My one grandfather came from Pedro Miguel...I only wish the ones for Castelo Branco existed?? I tried to inquire when i was in Faial, but the priest was not in the parish at the time of my visit and even though the person working there was a cousin:) I could not find out if they exist today...
