Births are registered where they occur. So, now a days, all those children from Bretanha, for example, have birth records saying they were born in Ponta Delgada, which of course is where the maternity ward is located. So unless an expectant mother went to S. Miguel for delivery, the birth would not be recorded there.

For as long as I can remember a high percentage of births occur in Sao Miguel. Its possible that the new borns get registered in Sao Miguel but actually go right back to living in Santa Maria. Just an idea. On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at 12:21 PM, Sam Koester <[email protected]> wrote: Hi Richardo, Thank you for your quick response to my query. Yes, I am positive that my grandmother. Maria Filomena Tavares do Rego was born in Santa Maria, so, she is not the one you are looking for.
