Cheri, thanks again for your help. You always seem to know the right answer or where to look. I have just discovered a couple of books I'm trying to get from Amazon on the subject too. As you have mentioned, it seems any big social changes happened after or around 1900. I think the world was possibly getting new social mores and of course, universal education was changing lives and opening new horizons for working people.
I would love to visit one day, but I think that may be a year or two off yet. If anyone elso has more information I would appreciate all you might know or where to find out. Are there Universities which might specalise in studies of Azores, history and customs of the early 1800s, does anyone know? Thank again.
