G'day Cheri, Thanks for the head ups on the archive locations which looks like a change in the itinerary is required. I believe I've exhausted as much information as I can from the Azores Archives on line. I think from memory there are no death record scans prior to 1700. I can find births and marriage records pre 1700 but these seem to only go back to the late 1680's or thereabout.
I can see the confusion over dates. Apart from my Azorean ancestors, I am a descendant of Willhelm van der Haegan (also known as Guilherme da SILVEIRA / Willem de Kersemakere / Guilherme Casmaca) through his daughter Luzia da Silveira. I've confused their information which dates back to the 1500s as being from the Azores rather than Flanders. I believe Willhelm died on or about 21 December 1510 at Topo, Sao Jorge but have no documents to substantiate that date. Sorry for the confusion. Kindest regards, Tony On Sunday, November 26, 2017 at 4:55:01 PM UTC+11, Azores Genealogy group wrote: > > G'day folks, > > I (and the family) will be travelling to the islands of Sao Jorge and Pico > and tracing my ancestors from these two islands.
