Andrea R, Joseph Joaquim is Jose Joaquim. Frank is Francisco. Anthony Joseph is Antonio Jose. Now, as to Roberts, I'm not sure. Rebello comes to mind, but I research the eastern islands. Flores is the western end of the Azores. Raposo? Ramos? Rezendes? Ribeiro? Maybe the Flores researchers

Daniel S, There really wasn't official historically. We all struggle with this. The name at baptism is a given name only. And then what to do if it's a woman and she's Maria Roza and after her 3rd child (with a difficult labor) she prays to the Holy Spirit and is Maria do Espirito Santo for her

Oh, and once you find them and get the freguesia, you can use the Flores marriage book. It's available digitally now. It is organized by freguesia (village). So you need to find your village in addition to the original surname. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta

There are 3 ports in the Azores: Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel, Angra on Terceira, and Horta on Faial. Horta is the closest to Flores. Those records, called Passaportes are online. Use Tombo.pt to navigate: http://tombo.pt/d/acores Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta
