This isn't a map but it's a list of streets and postal codes for Graciosa. Not sure if all streets are there. It has been interesting for me to browse my Sao Jorge communities so it might be interesting for you to look at Graciosa.

Thank you so much for catching that. Does anybody on the list know where I can get a good map of Graciosa that would include street names? Google Maps only labels no more than 5-10% of the streets for the island. There must be a better map somewhere---something like the maps I saw with that grave-marking website that was recently mentioned on this list but unfortunately only had 4 of the islands on it and didn't include Graciosa. I did try Google but pretty much any websites I found just ended up embedding Google Maps in there anyway which takes me back to the same problem. Maybe somebody has access to such a map and could possibly identify how to find it in Google Maps?

Sorry to scare you off of SATA but I have a feeling that the flight that you take from Terceira to Graciosa might be with SATA? I really am no expert at all, but I want to reassure you, if it is, that those inter island flights on SATA were very good! The long flights to and from the US were the ones that with which we have had all the problems. Really good idea to just try to have quality time on Graciosa! I took a look at some of your records and just wanted to make sure you saw that they give the actual street on which your grandfather was born. Caminho das Fontes! Maybe you will get even more clues in these records but this is a wonderful bit of information. You can certainly find that street and know you are walking in the footsteps of your ancestors!! Very excited for you! Susan Vargas Murphy On Mar 1, 2017, at 7:23 AM, Ken Waters <[email protected]> wrote: All, Thanks so much for the replies and suggestions. I combined all my comments and updates into one e-mail in order to avoid posting too many individual posts on the list. Given the comments I saw on SATA it sounds like using TAP as proposed may be a good choice. I think I'd like to pass on getting the "I survived SATA" t-shirt (and the experience). :-) As I mentioned I found $82 Lisbon-Terceira. I found Lisbon-Graciosa (changing in Terceira) for $144. I like the idea of taking one of the ferries but from what I saw online and comments found it seems the service can be irregular. Indeed, online it looked like service was only once a week, particularly during the off-season and I couldn't even find a schedule. Given all that I feel it might be safer to look at the Lisbon-Graciosa flights. Perhaps a longer stay could involve the ferry (I love the idea of taking a boat for the scenic aspect) but not this time. I took seriously the comments about strategy regarding one versus multiple islands. I'm pretty locked into no more than 4 days maximum and so I think I'd like to take the tack of doing one island well and that one should be the one where I might have the biggest bang in terms of family searching. That will allow enough time to thoroughly soak up the culture as well as search for my possible da Silva relations in person and in records. I did take a look at AirBNB and was pleased to find a couple of facilities that look very promising and at very reasonable rates. I think I will attempt to use one of them for the stay. Now, shifting to the da Silva line, I want to thank those who sent promising notes about da Silva/Silva connections in Graciosa: Leonard, Sue Q, and Don. I would like to follow up with each of you. I plan on doing some more pre-trip legwork (including CCA research) to give me a better chance of success on the island. Along those lines, I started building a website (http://www.familytreeaz.com/Working/daSilva_Graciosa/) to help me keep track of my da Silva family and the records found. I've still got 4 more that I need to find (please disregard those placeholder links for now) and add to the website but do have 4 on there now. I included both my digital image excerpts of each record as well as the link to the specific page to facilitate better analysis (including others on the same page). I hope to have the missing 4 up there by this evening. Much thanks to Edna Epps for finding these records that would have probably taken me 10x the time to find. Here is the family group that I'm referring to: PARENTS Manuel da Silva, born 9 Oct 1806, Santa Cruz Louisa Candida, born 23 Jan 1799, Santa Cruz MARRIAGE: 9 Sept 1827, Santa Cruz CHILDREN Maria da Silva, born 21 June 1828, Santa Cruz Francisco da Silva, born 24 Aug 1831, Guadalupe Manuel da Silva, born 10 Oct 1837, Guadalupe Rita da Silva, born 20 Feb 1841, Guadalupe Joao da Silva, born 6 Dec 1845, Guadalupe --> migrated to Yreka CA Joao da Silva is my great-grandfather. Don Vasconcelos, if you are agreeable I might like to look up your relative there, particularly if you think she might be able to have some information that might help. Do you know if she speaks any English? As I gain more information going through these records including, hopefully, tie-ins to others who have Silva/da Silva's in Graciosa I will post them to the list. Again, thanks All for the great comments and suggestions!
