I am trying (with mixed success) to find the families of *Carlos Lustre*& Roza Adelaide (Carregal) and his brother *Hypolito Lustre* & Maria Augusta Leonardo. The Lustres owned and performed in a circus that traveled through the islands during the 1850s-1860s. I think that's why records for them are so hard to find - they keep moving around with that circus of theirs!
So far I have found two children of Carlos Lustre christened in Madeira in 1863 & 1864 and the marriage of Hypolito Lustre in the Irgeja Matriz de São Sebastião, Ponta Delgada in 1858. (Lustre's wife was from the freguesia de S ão José, Ponta Delgada; Hypolito's wife was from the freguesia de Sé Cathedral d'Angra, Terceira.) Fellow researchers, if any of you come across any records for this unusual French surname - *Lustre* - anywhere in your Azorean searches, would you please let me know? All help and advice is *very* welcomed! (Maybe will save me from staying up to 3:00 AM search records, like last night!) Thanks so much --Andy P.S. I just *love* the Madeira records website! To me it's the genealogical ideal - so easy to use, search compatible, original images. Just fantastic! -- 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.
