Hi all, I honestly know nothing other than the what Francisco Gomes told me: the name of the book, which is "Genealogias da Ilha das Flores (Açores)". Looking for it, I also got this blog post where he asks for data on living persons: http://ailhadasflores.blogspot.de/2014/08/genealogias-das-flores-um-projeto-que.html
The book will be released in the "Festa do Emigrante" in Lajes das Flores, which will be held July 14 to July 17. He will probably be able to sign the book in person to anyone attending the "Festa". But note that Flores has scarce available accommodation, and it will probably be full already (although, airbnb is your friend :) ). The book is published by the Camara Municipal of Lajes das Flores. So it will be paper-only. And you won't find it available for sale in any website (not even theirs...). When I get some more data, I'll post it here. The "Casais das Flores" as ebook, has one major advantage over the paper version: you can press Ctrl+F and do a full-content search. In a book like this, think of the ebook as getting a copy of his database. So if you were planning to eventually buy the ebook, but haven't gotten around to it yet, do it ASAP, as it will be gone as fast as the Apple or B&N receive his request to remote it: Apple iBooks: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/casais-das-flores-e-do-corvo/id588378486 Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/casais-das-flores-e-do-corvo-francisco-gomes/1114254163?ean=9789892034348 As Robert indicated, Francisco Gomes already did a family-centered book a long time ago for the Lajes das Flores + Fazenda + Lajedo parishes. This time, it probably covers the entire island. Not many people have part 1, so it probably makes no sense to publish part 2, 20 years later. Best regards, João C.
