Liz, As Cheri said, you need to contact the 'Registo Civil' (or the local church), but you need to know the date of the event, and the name of the person and their parents. I've gone to the ones in Faro and in Santa Cruz das Flores, in person and with a list of people I'm searching for, and usually they provide the copies of the records. I'm not sure how it works over the phone/internet. They'll need to be paid, and they don't accept cards or Paypal.
