One place you talk about Oliver (Oliveira) and another you talk about Braia. I DID find Braia on Faial They can be found in Cedros, Feteira, Horta (all 3 churches: Angustias, Conceicao, and Matriz), Pedro Miguel, Praia do Norte, Ribeirinha, and Salao. The name is NOT in Capelo or Praia do Almoxarife. I don't know about Castelo Branco or Flamengos. I hope you are after Braia.
One document you have is an index to naturalization. It says that Antonio Braia was born 27 Feb 1872 and arrived 29 March 1888. So that would make him 16 at arrival. He may have been 15 when he left though. You can look through all the baptisms on the island of Faial, looking for an Antonio b. 27 Feb 1872 to a Braia family: https://tombo.pt/m/hrt Click the British flag is you need to navigate in English. Once you find the baptisms for 1872 and you click on that book to view it, you are looking at the records from that freguesia (village) in the Azores which are written in Portuguese. If you don't read Portuguese, you'll still be able to pick out names though. And February is Feveiro, so it's close. https://tombo.pt/m/hrt Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Mon, Feb 4, 2019 at 7:11 PM Corinne Merritt <[email protected]> wrote: > Josephine married John F Barnes and her maiden name was Brier- it lists > her father as Antonio and her mother as Catherine Boskovich, but the family > name is Voskovich.
