I will keep digging, too. Are you on Sao Miguel ? This is incredible information. I will stay in touch and keep talking to relatives in the States (not many left!) Can I stay in touch with you ? So, in order to “prove” that I am her (Margarida’s) granddaughter, what additional information do I need? My mother’s birth (Margarida’s daughter) info? Other? Thank you, again! Best,Anne Marie SilviaMother Mary Silvia (maiden name Costa)My grandfather, Margarida’s husband was either:Joseph CostaJose R Costa or Jose Rego Costa. His name might have been changed to Joseph as my grandmother was known as Margaret in the States (Fall River, MA).Died in US in either 1933, 1935, or 1936.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Looking for grandparents birthplace, Azores; Traveling to Sao Miguel this week
Hi Anni, If you have the date and ship name they left and arrived inBoston on, you should be able to find their passport info, or the ships manifest. This will tell their freguesia.Also, from Ancestry, look at census records 1920, 30, 40 to see if they became citizens or not. Then look for naturalization records. This will have much info as to birth record and family info . It will indicate Y yes N no or A applied on the census . Then check National Archives for a copy of the application.

I was hoping that there might be some records in Sao Miguel of my grandmother’s parents. I hardly see any village names on records in ancestry.com. i was hoping there might be additional population records in Sao Miguel. :-( ☹️ Ill keep digging, but no village names in any recods so far.. of rither my grandparents or even their parents.thank you!Annie Sent from my iPhone On May 4, 2019, at 4:56 PM, Cheri Mello wrote: Hi Annie, The Azores are comprised of 9 islands. You need to narrow down the island first, then find the village. Everything there is organized by the freguesia (village). The Azorean government digitized their records. Many freguesias go to the year 1911 and a few only go to 1905. The records can be accessed through Tombo.pt. Click the British flag if you need to navigate in English. None of this will be useful unless you have a freguesia. It would be like a European telling you there ancestor was born in the United States. There's no comprehensive index for that. Most of America is organized on the state level with New England organized on the town level.
