LaRonda, The modern Portuguese spelling is Linhares. That should be used in your genealogy program. You can make a notation of how you found it spelled in the various documents by entering that into the note or memo field.
To do Portuguese research (well, anywhere in Europe, actually), you need the village. If you don't have an island yet, you are not ready to research the Azores yet. For many sources to try to figure out at least an island for your immigrant ancestor, look at this link from the Azores GenWeb here: https://goo.gl/dGG4Ar Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Sun, Jul 29, 2018 at 7:30 PM, LaRonda Zupp <[email protected]> wrote: > Greetings.
