I just found a distant relative who lived in Sao Miguel and since there are so many natives of Sao Miguel on this list, I am hoping maybe someone knew them.Manuel Ribeiro da Costa married in the mid-1930s in Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel to Beatriz (surname might be Coelho).This Beatriz died in Ponta

Actually you're right, they are the ones confused. But to add to the
confusion, here's the list of official names of those freguesias, listing
municipality and then the freguesia:

It's a known fact that the patron saint of the Nordeste parish is São

Thank you Margaret,
Out of curiosity I looked up some 6 baptism in Relva and all from Relva did
not see one from Covoada being baptized there.
As for Santa Clara they were indeed baptized in S. José and Santa Clara
became a freguesia not too long ago.

The story is of epic proportions, involving the movement across two oceans

I few years ago I was in Hawaii and I went on a tour of a sugar plantation
there. The tour guide did say that the first wave of laborers were Chinese
bachelors. And China is on a continent. Being a bunch of bachelors who

Not surprising that they are confused about Sao Miguel. There was a change
in directors at the CCA and I don't think that communication between S.
Miguel and Terceira is all that great. They just don't seem to get along
or try to get along. The CCA is on Terceira. The server is on S.
I'll guess that the tour guide didn't mention that the sugar cane was
brought from Madeira where it had been well established since the 1500s.
Pineapple was also a export crop of Madeira and Sao Miguel before
cultivation started in Hawaii. I't pretty clear that besides surfing, most

Eric E,
The tour guide may have mentioned the info about the sugar cane and the
pineapple. I also did the pineapple plantation tour too. My ancestors
were involved in pineapple on Sao Miguel. Guess that's why they wound up
involved in fruit here, although it was apricots!

It became part of the Relva civil parish after that. The church

Cheri, it looks like everyone is confused! In all of the time that I've been
researching the Azores (more than some and less than others), I have never come
across a jurisdiction referred to as Matriz-Civil. The name of the Civil
Registry is just as one would expect it to be, Registro Civil.
May I add my DItto! To Eileen's. All my research is for my husband's
ancestors from the Azores.
I pretty much stopped working on my ancestry from Cuba.
I'm grateful to all of you for the help I've received.

I've never heard anyone say I'm from the Matriz either. I concur on that.
In my Ribeira Quente research, I found all my ancestors from Ponta Garca.
Are you sure you meant Sao Miguel Arcanjo? Maybe it's in a different time
period. I know Ribeira das Tainhas was under Sao Miguel Arcanjo.

Pam,
The Father's surname is Cordeiro, however having Canto's index you omitted
to list the Mother's name which I find harder to read then the Father's.
If her name is Marta then the father's name is Luiz. If you can confirm
this then I will point you to Thereza's birth record in S. Jose.
Best,
