Antonio, I have a book "A Ihla das Flores: da redescoberta a actualidade (Subsidios para s sua Historia) " by Francisco Antonio Nunes Pimentel Gomes publshed by Camara Municipal das Flores, 2003. I suspect that it's out of print but may still be available from Camara das Lajes, Flores. If not, I would be glad to photocopy and send to you the chapter entitled "Familias" which covers all the original settling families. John Vasconcelos
