Mary PW, You will want to bookmark the Azores GenWeb page as a reference: http://goo.gl/n2xZ30 And the how to on that page as well: http://goo.gl/N5nz5z
Flores has 10 freguesias (villages). I think you are referring to Lomba. That link is also on the Azores GenWeb: http://goo.gl/mvqogu You will need to look for a baptism for a Francisco in Jan, 1854 to a Jose Sebastiao Pimentel in those records. The 2nd link I posted has examples of how to pick apart a record if you don't read Portuguese. Many of us don't read fluently, but we've taught ourselves to read the records. Good Luck, 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.
