Dear Diane, My dear father was able to spend his time copying these records when we visited in 1996! The parish priest allowed us to borrow them. I am so happy that they are finally available to others via my friend Kathy Andrade Cardoza’s posting on the Azores Gen Web!! It’s wonderful to hear that you are getting so much out of them!
It’s a mystery about the other villages... I’ve heard rumors that there might be some. I know there are some for São Jorge. Thanks for your post!
