I've wasted two days, going through Birth records,Passport records Baptismal records looking over the Centro de Conhecimento. All such a waste of time. I don't understand their system, nothing is files by dates(like year,month,day) they start with first names. So in my case. His first name was Manuel and my Grandmother is Maria, page after page so disappointing. I think I'll just forget about trying to find out were they came from and just visit the Island. I would think someone would come up with a better system. To make things worst their last name was changed from DaSilva to Silvia when they come from Sao Miguel, Ponta Delgarda to the USA,so much for accuracy. So half my cousins are Silva and the other half are Silvia. My father was born there and his first name was Mariano, now that's a different name. I found a few pages with that first name however it does not go to April 14,1914. I hope when I get there it will be some what easier.
Thank for any help Mario Silvia -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/group/azores.
