Richard I don't think I can help you. I never did any research in Vila do Porto. My grandmother was Anna Maria de Braga born in Mulbusca, Santa Espirto. in 1880. I;m not certain but I don't think the film records don't go to 1884. I guess we have to wait for CCA to post the records for Santa Maria. I think those records go to 1910.
There are members of this list who seem to be able to find and amazing amount of information for people. Maybe you'll be lucky and someone will be able to help you. I hope so.

I am the maternal great grandson of Maria Braga, born on the island of Santa Maria, May 17, 1884. I believe she was born in Vila do Porto. I know she had at least one brother, Jose, born circa 1885. The story is that when she was a "lttle girl", her mother may have drowned and that she was raised by a couple of Aunts on the island of San Miguel.......she arrived in the US (Boston) in Febuary 1906. I can not find a record of a marriage but she moved to San Pablo Ca., in oct., 1907 and shows that she married John Nevis. they lived in the San Pablo area until the 1940s. Jose, the brother I know a little about, came to CAlif. around 1910 . He lists John Nevis as a friend on the ship register. Don't know if any of this will connect up to your Bragas . Maria had a daughter, Ann, born in San Pablo in 1909. Ann was my grandmother.
