Geneva, This link takes you directly to the CCA's genealogy page: http://goo.gl/01wOLs
Ribeira Grande is not online yet. IF (giant IF) the powers that be at the CCA decide to finish Sao Miguel before moving on to other islands, then Ribeira Grande is up next. The freguesias will appear in alphabetical order, most likely. You should practice your "reading" skills by looking up some records that you paid Joao Ventura to look up. Then you'll be ready to find your Domingos by the time the CCA loads Rabo de Peixe. The map is a bit of a pain. You have to get the tip of the finger exactly on the white dot...and the white dot for the council of Ribeira Grande that houses the Rabo de Peixe records is right on the edge of Sao Miguel, so it's technically in the ocean and very hard to see. Above the map though, there is a row of words in a greenish or olive print. Look for the 3rd set of words: Pesquisa de Registos Paroquiais (Search the Registers Parish - Search the Parish Registers). Next window opens. Ilha (Island): Sao Miguel Council (Council - similar to an American county): Freguesia (village): You can probably tell that buttons on the bottom refer to baptisms, marriages, and deaths. Find a record and try getting what you can out of it. Post what you can read and what you need help with. Do this enough times and you will be one of the people on this list helping others. Many of us are not native speakers and many of us had to learn to "read" ourselves or by the use of this list.
