Here is the original post from back in 2008 from John Q "I am looking for information on my ggrandfather Joseph (most likely born Jose) Quadros who immigrated from the Azores to Boston in about 1879. To the best of my knowledge, he was born on Sao Jorge on 24 March 1863 (possibly the son of Joao with mother's name unknown at this time). He lived in the Charlestown section of Boston, married Elizabeth Sangster, and had four sons (Percy, Joseph, John and Gordon) and a daughter (Helen). He worked at the Charlestown Naval Shipyard where he died in an industrial accident in 1904.
I have no knowledge as to which parish he was born in. I tried searching the LDS copies of the baptism records for that period, but as most of you know the quality is poor and the local machines are not in good shape. I recognize only a few Portuguese words so that doesn't help me any. I looked into paying someone, but even though the cost may be justified if successful, there is of course no guarantee that anything would be found. I was excited to discover on my own that the Portuguese government is putting much more legible digital photos of the records online with excellent zoom tools to search the pages closely, but so far I haven't found my ggf's record. I would appreciate any information anyone may have on Jose Quadros from that time period in Sao Jorge, or any information as to when more parishes may be available online. Thank you.
