Dan, there is a cemetery for Nordeste but if you are looking for someone in particular, you should check their obituary record to make sure they were not buried in the “Fazenda” of São Jorge. In many, many cases you will find that people from the islands were buried in a communal plot. This was done for practical and financial reasons as the island simply could not keep expanding to create additional cemetery plots and also because the majority of parishioners could not afford a cemetery plot.
