Dear Joao and everyone, I tried the tool and have some questions about it. I did a simple search to test it out, thinking I was searching in Sao Roque baptisms, and found the following useful information about my great-aunt.
MARIA DA LUZ. <http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/details?id=1114063> Record not reviewed. Filiação: João do Couto e Margarida Júlia. Idade: 29 anos. Estado: Casada. Profissão: Doméstica. Naturalidade: Ponta Delgada. Arrifes. Acompanhantes: Seu filho, José, de 3 anos. Embarcação: S/indicaçã ... Dates1880-12-24 - Complete referencePT/BPARPD/ACD/GCPDL/P/001/03066 Physical locationLv-1385-Nº 1027-1880 This is definitely my great-aunt, and with the information about the age of her son I was able to find her marriage record on the CCA site. But I don't understand the part after Jose's age. Does the "S" indicate that she left from Sao Miguel? (At first I thought it might refer to "Sandwich.") And does the 1880-12-24 date refer to the date she embarked or the first date in a long set of records? She would have been 29 in 1880. I haven't yet found Jose's birth record. The search I did seemed to bring up mostly emigration records from all over Sao Miguel, and not just restricted to the time frame I selected. This tool looks as if it could be very helpful, but I'm not sure I'm using it properly. Thanks for any help I can get with this.
