Yes, Confessional Rols. Cheri all of the villages on Sao Jorge except Norte Pequeno, Santo Antão, and a few in the council of Velas have Rols. It's like 2/3. Same for Pico. Unfortunately I only know of 2 on Sao Jorge, and 2 on Pico that are available digitally - none of those for are available for everyone to see on the CCA however. There is a university in mainland Portugal that has the rest. The professor who created Minho CITCEM has an inventory of all the towns whose rols survive and where they are housed. There are something like 32 rols for Sao Jorge alone (I.e. Ribeira Seca and Velas start in 1757 some others might too, and go on up). The university has a monopoly of these rols-for the central island group at least, but it's a shame that they aren't publicly researchable.... a real shame.
