Hi Lisa, Yes that is the section. I have found it very useful over the years. The other section I use quite frequently starts on page 465 in my copy and lists the churches and Freguesia they are in. Just curious did you by the copy and where did you get it and how much. It is very hard to

Madeira is a different autonomous region than the Azores islands. The Madeira Islands have only 2 islands that are populated and the Azores have 9 islands. With the DNA, start by working your Family Finder Matches who have 100 cMs or more. You'll have to do a lot of work in the U.S. to find your

FamilySearch is the family history division of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (LDS or Mormons). They did the microfilming of the original Azorean records in the 1980s. CCA is the Center for Knowledge of the Azores. It's the Azorean Government division of records. Like the

João is correct. Some records can only be viewed from a FHC. It doesn't matter if you have a FamilySearch account or not. If you are not accessing them from a FHC, you won't be able to see them. Cheri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores
