Thank you, Neil. My grandfather was an infant when he came to America. He was married in NYC in 1911, but I don't know how to go about finding where specifically. I wish I knew the names of my great grandparents as I think that would solve some puzzles. On Friday, September 1, 2017 at

Hi Claire, Neil Teixeira here. You need to ID his correct name and village on Faial Island. I would first get a copy of his marriage record from which-ever Catholic Church he was married in. The Priest would have wanted the "exact" village he was born at & baptized in which exact Church.
