Doug,
I've searched all my Flores resources without finding a Burra record. This
includes the three Pimentel Gomes books:
Casais de Flores e Corvo
Familias da Ilha das Flores Parte 1 Lajes,
Ilha da Flores -da redescoberta a actualidade
My dozen different family projects for Flores also
*My father was from Lomba and my research there has been very frustrating
on my paternal grandmother's line. I've only been able to go back 5
generations since all records before the mid 1800's for Lomba are lost. A
cousin who still lives there recalls stories of a church fire.
Doug's find
from São Miguel who did that.I do know of at least one descendant born in Terceira in 1856.Doug da Rocha HolmesSacramento, CaliforniaPico Terceira Genealogist916-550-1618www.dholmes.com

I just found a marriage of a lady named Páscoa who was born in Lomba in 1787 and then noticed the Lomba records are lost or destroyed for that century.What stuck me is the name of her father, Manuel Furtado da Burra, a name I have never seen before.Maybe some of you Flores researchers have Burra
