Nancy, would you send the bookmark to the list? I have tried to find where that info is stored on the Tombo site and I can’t find it! Thanks, Rosemarie

I guess if I had clicked one more time I would have seen that she was headed for North America. This record allowed me to find Maria da Luz on the Passaportes list and to find her marriage record. I already knew her husband's name but didn't know she had a son named Jose. That's pretty good for a great-aunt that I had very little information on. I've bookmarked the page and will use this tool often.

Well spotted :) I use it mostly to check what books should still show up, as that site is the archive's catalog. The text appears repeated, but the part you may have stumbled: "Embarcação: S/indicação, barca. Destino: América, pela ilha do Faial" translates to "Boat: no information, barge. Destination: [North] America, through Faial".

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. 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.
