Someone earlier asked what a passport looked like, so I'm attaching a picture of my grandmother's Horta Passport. The original is brittle and in pieces, so the scan isn't perfect, but I'm still thrilled to have it. Frances emigrated to the US years earlier, but returned to Faial for a visit in 1909. She and my grandfather were married later that year, so I've always wondered if she had her wedding dress made during the visit. The information on the left side matches the last entry on Passaportes, Faial 1908 - 1920 > 0008. The larger section on the right translates something like: Passport granted to Francisca Garcia, single, native of the village of Cedros, daughter of Antonio Garcia Moitoso and Maria Clara in order to leave the realm with the destination of the United States of America.
