Hi Nelson, You need the freguesia, otherwise, you need to hunt through about 70 churches for that 30 year period. You can start the hunt here if you chose to do it: https://tombo.pt/i/sao-miguel
I'd try some of the sources here first: http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/research-aids-a---l/finding-your-portuguese/ Or turn to DNA. It may not give you the freguesia (or a cousin who has a lost Victorino, son of Joao Jacinto do Couto), but it may give you an area of the island. https://www.familytreedna.com/group-join.aspx?Group=AzoresIslands You want Family Finder. It's on sale through Tues, Sept. 3rd. You'll eventually want to do your Y-DNA as well, but the quickest way to your answer (through DNA) would be the Family Finder product. Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Mon, Sep 2, 2019 at 6:36 PM Nelson Couto <[email protected]> wrote: > > > I am looking for seats of birth or baptism of my great-grandfather > VITORINO CORDEIRO DO COUTO, natural of the island of São Miguel – Azores, > was the son of João Jacyntho do Couto and must have been born between 1820 > and 1850. > > > Could someone in the group appoint me sources of inquiry? > > > Best regards > > > Nelson Couto. > > -- > 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]. > To view this discussion on the web visit > https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/azores/df6783e6-f586-4075-86c5-ea1f0b13424a%40googlegroups.com > <https://groups.google.com/d/msgid/azores/df6783e6-f586-4075-86c5-ea1f0b13424a%40googlegroups.com?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer> > . > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
