Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] General Questions about Passports
There's a gap in the records (1884-1894) because they are missing.

Re: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] General Questions about Passports
If you are researching the USA - in the South circa Civil War, you get tired of hearing the courthouse burned down and no records are available. One county courthouse burned down 4 times!! Some vets who try to obtain a copy of the DD214 have had to deal with the records being destroyed, if memory serves me correctly, by water damage.and so it goes. Also, I tried to get records for who was in WWI and they also were not available. E -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

Hi Lester, Passports were required to travel (leave) the Acores. Only the ones from Sao Miguel are on line. I would not assume he left by other means It could be the name is wrong or perhaps the writing was bad and you missed it.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] General Questions about Passports
Lester, I don't know that someone else could leave under someone else's name. Only the port of Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel is online at this time. You don't state where your ancestors were from. They could have sailed out of Angra on Terceira or out of Horta on Faial.
