Could someone please send me a link public records in the Azores that would cover the period prior to 1890? I already have link for baptismal and marriage records from the Catholic Churches but I've had no luck finding my great grandfather's baptismal record. Likewise I can't find my great grandmother's baptismal record. I also cannot find a record of their marriage. I have looked at records for several years either side of the date I've been give for each of their births but I find nothing. My great grandfather's name was Manuel Isidoro Betencourt and my great grandmother's name was Josephine Pimentel. I've been told that my great grandfather's parents were Jose Isidoro and Anna Betencourt. A document that my great grandmother Josephine signed to verify my grandfather's birth in the United States (he was not born in a hospital so he had no birthcertificate to get a social security card in the 1930's or 1940's) said my great grandfather came from Santo Amaro, Sao Jorge and that she also was from Sao Jorge. I see no Pimentels in any baptism, marriage, death records for Sao Jorge and I don't see any baptismal records that show a Manuel be baptized with parents by the name of Isidoro and Betencourt. In fact I don't see any Isidoro's any church records anywhere on the island. Are there any other records that will help put together my genealogical history of my family. I do know that a relative (cousin or brother) of my great grandfather came with him to California because my second cousins who stayed in the area say they were told that a family by the name of Isadoro (another spelling of Isidoro) were their cousins. I've looked them up on Ancestry and was able to find some of the family members but they also have no records going back to before they emigrated to California. Are there any other records to look at in the Azores? Thanks.
