Hi Sam, his name was Jose Tavares Resendes, and this great grandaunt from whose descendants, I am trying to find, was his sister. All I could find out for now is that she married a man from Santa Maria but she was born in Santo Antonio Alem Capelas. Her brother, my Great Grandfather, was born in

Hi Richardo,  Thank you for your quick response to my query.  Yes, I am positive that my grandmother. Maria Filomena Tavares do Rego was born in Santa Maria, so, she is not the one you are looking for.  She does have the surnames of Resendes and Chaves in her line though, so perhaps, someday we

Researching in Santa Maria Trying searching in Sao Miguel. For as long as I can remember a high percentage of births occur in Sao Miguel. Its possible that the new borns get registered in Sao Miguel but actually go right back to living in Santa Maria. Just an idea. On Wed, Dec 4, 2013 at

Births are registered where they occur. So, now a days, all those children from Bretanha, for example, have birth records saying they were born in Ponta Delgada, which of course is where the maternity ward is located. So unless an expectant mother went to S. Miguel for delivery, the birth would

John, Alda, before 1900, I am almost sure everyone was born at home! I was born in Santa Maria in 74 but my youngest sister, in 1988, was born in Sao Miguel and registered in Santa Maria. Yes there was a time where children were being registered in Sao Miguel, when they should be registered in
