I appreciate the information to the Azores Group about the passport records coming online. Already I have found the parents of my grandmother. Also, on Ancestry.com, I found that the petition for naturalization for the same grandfather has now been indexed and is online…so the two documents (including the passport info.) have given me much more info. than I had. He came to American from Santo Amaro in 1885. Domingos Jorge de Terra Gomes.
Anyway, I am attaching an excel spreadsheet I put together as I was trying to translate the columns of the form on which my grandfather is listed. Could I get someone to take a look at the attached excel file and see if I am correct/close in my translations? Some of them may be too “literal”. Also, while I’m at it, I’m giving the link to his passport record. Would someone be able to tell me what the “observation” for him reads? It looks like the comments may just be “spill-over” from the person ahead of him, but I am not sure. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PASSAPORTES-FAL-1876-1889/PASSAPORTES-FAL-1876-1889_item1/P182.html His record is Passport #416. 24 Aug 1885 As always, thank you to members of the group for being active/helpful participants in this remarkable Azorean genealogy resource. -- 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.
