I'm looking at records here: http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PASSAPORTES-PDL-1875-1883/PASSAPORTES-PDL-1875-1883_item1/P6.html
I'm hoping someone has the answers to a few questions. 1. Are records from all the islands in this one place? 2. Would anyone be able to translate the column headings? I get the date, name, marital status, and occupation, but then I get lost. I think one column has the names of family members (traveling with the person, I think.) Does that mean there was only one passport to a family? Sometimes I see even a three year-old child with his own passport, though. 3. I'm especially interested in the last column. In all the pages I've looked at, it seems to be for a teenage boy. I'm reading a book set in the Azores, supposedly well-researched, and there is reference to boys having to post a "bail" of some sort to leave the country, because there was a military draft. Maybe it was during this time period? (1875) Thanks for any help!
