Hi Anthony S,
The Azores are divided into 3 districts. So which island again? And you are
searching before 1911 (before 1905 on most of Sao Miguel), correct?

that's what the ossuary look like.
hmmm, I think I have seen something like that here in Australia.
so, regarding the archive, where would I go for those?

Many have been exhumed without the family present; my dad for example. It
may have been a rule or more likely that the family are still there that
would be notified of the pending exhumation. Attendance may be mandatory in
that instance. However, I know my father's family is still there and
I would think *most* people would be just bones? There are always
exceptions. So sorry your cousin saw that.

Thank you Monica for the image.
I saw the one at Santa Catarina church in Castelo Branco and it was more like

Along this subject I had a memory of one of my mother’s first cousins telling

Hi Rob W,
I'd say the name would be medium in how common it is. It may be more common
in some areas than others though.

Hi Mary,
The names in Portuguese are Anna Lourenço and Jose Simões or possibly Simas.
You can try running Jose Simões and then Jose Simas through the CITCEM-GHP
site married to an Anna Anybody. However, it only has 13 of the 16 parishes
of Pico: http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/genealogias.html

Hi Everyone,
My family has been looking for our ancestors and we have hit a little brick
wall hoping someone will be able to help.
We have been able to locate information about them in the states but cant
seem to find any information on them in Azores, Some of
the documents say there from PICO
Yes Cheri it is.
Looking at yours, mine is much bigger. I believe that if a family member of
my father wants to be in there, they can share the space with my dad.
Perhaps that's why they make it a bit bigger.
Thanks for sharing.

of bones, I had the option to have him placed in a n ossuary
Dear Cheri

I would be interested to know whether Do Couto is a common name in Portugal?
I am interested in doing a little more research, but if the name is fairly
common it will be "Needle in the haystack" stuff.

Here is a link to all of the Azorean folk recordings made by Sydney Cowell. She
was the wife of the important composer Henry Cowell.
