The US equivalent of Tras os Montes is actually a state. And they've listed some of the information in the wrong order
So: Tras os Montes=province where his village is found Boticas: municipality Vilarinho Seco: village Alturas was likely the specific neighborhood/street he lived on, but that's difficult to pinpoint without more information Google: Vilarinho Seco Boticas Select "images" and you'll see some *amazing* photos of what the village looks like today Sonia ________________________________ From: azores@googlegroups.com <azores@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Cheri Mello <gfsche...@gmail.com> Sent: Sunday, April 8, 2018 2:38:56 PM To: Azores Genealogy Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Understanding towns of Portugal and if they are part of azores Hi Holly, That's the mainland. Tras-os-Montes is probably somewhat like an American county, in the northeast corner of Portugal, next to Spain. The smaller location that you mention, I don't know anything about them.
