LaRonda, We have a cluster of Ribeira Quente researchers on this list. I have lines that are in Ribeira Quente, so I have lots of resources for that freguesia.
In your genealogy program, you need to correct the spelling of the island. It's Sao Miguel (São Miguel, if you want the diacritic). The island of San Miguel (San is Spanish) is one of the Channel islands off the coast of California. So one letter makes a huge difference! Manuel Antonio Linhares (b. c. 1856) was the son of Antonio Francisco Linhares and Jacinta de Jesus. His bride Maria Jose (b. c. 1857) was the daughter of Joaquim Jose and Ursula de Jesus. You don't have the right people. Go back to the immigrant and get his baptism. It's here: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-RIBEIRAQUENTE-B-1888-1889/SMG-PV-RIBEIRAQUENTE-B-1888-1889_item1/P6.html Then use the guide on the Azores GenWeb to extract the names. You are in the 3rd time period with the baptisms. https://goo.gl/4Tzc2i Once you get Joao's parents and grandparents, you will see where you made a wrong turn. Also, get your genealogy in a computer program and have it run a report. The numbering system that is used by the genealogy program and genealogists is what we are trained to use. It'll make it easier on everyone :) Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
