David B, I have a book with dates in that I cannot find. I'm 99% sure that Sete Cidades was a "recent" parish. By recent, I mean something like it's 100 years old or less. In the 1980s, when the Genealogical Society of Utah (now Family Search) was filming in Sao Miguel, they filmed from about 1883 back. There were no books from Sete Cidades from 1883 back. Sete Cidades was split off from another freguesia. Maybe Mosteiros or Bretanha or one of those around there. That information is also in that book of mine that I can't find. You will be able to find the Sete Cidades records in that other freguesia. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada
