I am researching my g-g-grandfather who I believe was born in the Azores. The image below contains the place of birth from a variety of documents. I believe he was illiterate so the place names may have been written as heard by an English-speaker.
He went by the name of Joseph Le Swezer and then later by Joseph Soizer Brown. I suspect his name was actually Joseph De Souza as someone of that name arrived in Australia at the place and time that fits with my ancestor. This person boarded his ship (the 'Water Lily') in St Michael, Azores in 1853. Can anyone please assist with confirming the place name below? <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-buZJ4osSlC0/Wl85zTIrurI/AAAAAAAAADw/NqHCJkpsM3c_CLRzqVN12tnfsB0-Qey7wCLcBGAs/s1600/Joseph%2BDe%2BSouza%2B-%2BBirth%2BPlace.JPG> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
