Thanks Cheri. I was in Horta, but at the time, did not know my grandfather was from Faial. Since it was not that many years ago, I thought it might be easier to get information. I'll have to see if I can figure out the freguesia. Obrigada! Rosemarie, I am from Connecticut, so unable to take advantage of your class in CA, but thanks for the info. > ! > -- 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.
