Deb, There are 2 Joao Venturas on this list. The one you directed your question to does NOT do research for hire. The one that does research for hire can be found on the following list (along with others) on the Azores GenWeb: http://goo.gl/2xHfOD (Scroll down if you need to).
The rest of us find our own records and help each other out with a few words here or there. That was the main purpose of this list. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
