Jennifer D, The records for Sao Mateus are online at the Center for Knowledge of the Azores site. In Portuguese, that's Centro de Conhecimento dos Acores. We just call it the CCA site.
http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/ig/ Click on the white circle on the south side of Terceira (the finger tip must be touching that little dot - not the palm of the hand). On the next screen, you will click the drop down for freguesia and pick Sao Mateus. Then pick baptisms and the date range and start looking. If you don't "read" Portuguese you can learn. Probably 3/4 of this list are non-native speakers and many of us have learned to "read." There's a link on the Azores GenWeb here: http://goo.gl/ij44hc and here: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/examples.html You may want to bookmark the main Azores GenWeb site here: http://goo.gl/NOoE4s Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
