Hello! I believe the following should be of interest to Sao Jorge researchers:
I found online a while back that a gentleman named Climaco Ferreira da Cunha, who lives in Calheta, Sao Jorge, has written three books about Sao Jorge. I reached out to him to inquire about the contents of each book, and here is what I recieved: *1st. Book:* "Remembering the Past", speaks about the experience of our people from 70, 80 years ago. It has 310 pages, 50 different articles accompanied by 50 photographs, begins with the grandmother's apron, the child in the twentieth century, the school in our past, old games and toys, the beggar in the twentieth century, the dating of old and many more. Price 10 euros. *2nd. Book:* "São Jorge and its Fajãs", has 226 pages and deals since the discovery of the Azores, settlement of the island of São Jorge and its development, the history of the 76 fajãs that existed and the more detailed history of the fajãs that have their Ermidas, like the Fajã dos Cubres, citing the reason for this name, and the history of its Hermitage dedicated to Our Lady of Lourdes, speaks of its lagoon, its rivers and its evolution, presenting photographs of the main fajãs and at the end of the Book some curiosities concerning our island. Price 10 euros. *3rd. Book:* "The Feasts of the Holy Spirit in the county of Calheta", which are 10 empires and consequently 10 different parties with their history of the past and the present, the thirds sung in these empires, symbolism of the insignia of the Holy Spirit, and at the end Of the book recipes of the menu that is served on the day of the calls "soups", photographs of all 23 empires of the island, has 298 pages. Price 12 euros. The cost of sending by mail to the United States is 7 euros for the book Sao Jorge and it's Fajãs, and about 14 euros for the others, because they are heavier and exceed half a kilo. The author has also informed me that he will accept paypal as payment to the following address: [email protected] ~ simply put in your address, the title of the book you would like, and send enough money for the combined euro price of shipping and the book. I believe that I will be ordering the 2nd book about the history of the Island, and Rosemarie the same. If you have any questions, please let me know! Thank you, and happy hunting! *Jeremy B-C* *Researching: Sao Jorge* (and a bit on Pico, Flores, Faial, Graciosa, & Terceira) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
