Lyn, I've worked on many Azores to Australia and New Zealand families.
I agree with Cheri on this. Joseph doesn't know who his parents were, so there is no family to pursue in Flores. Santa Cruz and Lajes are the two concelhos of Flores, meaning he could be born anywhere on the island. Going on a needle in a haystack search for a baptism record with no more information than you already have can't help. Jose Silveira is one of the most common male names in the Azores, so it would be difficult to determine when you had the right person. I'd think it would be better to work through the Trove site to find more news articles that establish his life in Australia. http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/<http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/result?l-availability=y&q=dias%20francis> Eric Edgar On Tue, Apr 1, 2014 at 5:02 AM, Ricardo Chaves <[email protected]> wrote: > Lyn, what is Jose's last name, I realized you don't know his parents names > and that's what your looking for. > > Is it SILVA or SILVEIRA?
