Brian,
Let me know if you are interested in sharing information. My family line goes
back to Guadalupe, Graciosa too. Mainly Victoria, but Praia is also in the
mix. Feel free to email directly. I also owe a lot to Bill Seidler for his
help in translating records.
Family names: Espional, Silva, Vasconcellos, Conde, and Bettencourt.
Regards,
Bill Boyd

Hey guys,
I've never introduced myself on here - I've made a few posts under the username
'analytic advantage'.
I'll be going to the genealogy conference in 2020 to align with going to the
Acores to try and fill gaps in history and names etc. I currently live in
Mexico but was born in Canada. My family, mostly, comes from Sao Jorge,
Graciosa, and Terceira to a lesser extent. I got extremely lucky with my
grandfather's line on my mom's side and was able to go back as far as I
reliable could, which was prior to 900CE (Noronha). His wife is a Cordeiro,
and we have that line back to 1700 or so, back to Guadalupe/Praia Graciosa, to
Manuel Espinola De Mendonca. My family primarily lived in Praia, Graciosa -
Urzelina Sao Jorge - and Angra
I owe a great deal to Bill Seidler. I started our tree back in 2008, but ran
into a lot of issues in consistency, so I stopped until two years ago. He was
able to fill in a lot of blanks for me that he was able to find with the advent
of the records being made available on the internet. I was able to pay him back
in a wealth of family photos. I've restored old images for a number of years,
including as far back as the first photographs on the islands. To date I have
around 100 from my family line alone. I also have a lot of paperwork and low
print number books etc that are hard to find.
Glad I found this.
Gracias!
Brian Margarit
