Liliana, You are going to have to clarify. This, that, it....I'll have to guess at what you mean.
1) Are records from all the islands in this one place? A) Passaporte records that exist will come online at the CCA site. The physical location of the records is a different answer. They are at the 3 archives. 2) Would anyone be able to translate the column headings? A) The headings will vary with different time periods. For this time period, it looks like Passaporte #, Year, month, day, name, age, status (single, married), profession/occupation, native of (freguesia), can write or not, other people traveling with the main passport holder, next column - not sure, country traveling to, city traveling to, last column - not sure. Q) Does that mean there was only one passport to a family? A) For this time period, yes. I think so in the later passaportes as well, but then each family member was listed with their own passenger number. 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. A) That's the one I can't read. Well, I can read it. Looks like Faria e Maia to me. But no, it's not reserved for "teenagers." That word did not exist in the 1800s. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the whole teenage movement became popular in the 1950s but it had its beginnings in the 1920s in the flapper era. I'd have to check my history, so don't take my word on that, but I flat out know it's not a "teenage" thing. The world of the 1870s was children and adults. I don't know what constituted an adult in the 1870s in the Azores.
