Every parish had a cemetery, the oldest grave was the first to be used,
families that had means could by the grave and any family member could
be buried there after 7 years, the length of time differed between
cemeteries. Some areas decomposed the body faster than others. In

Hi Liliana,
It's Nancy Jean because we have several Nancy's on the list.
Thank you for the book information. I knew Miriam was about to publish her
book. I've never met her but did communicate with her after someone gave her my
name as a contact for Pico. She had never been before last year
Nancy Jean,
Miriam is a good friend of mine! She worked very hard on the book and I think
did a wonderful job. Although it is fiction, it is based on her research and
her trip to the Azores to visit her roots! I hope that you and others will
enjoy the book.

Hi Rosemarie,
I thought I remembered that she had my name from you but hesitated to say
without being sure. She's a very pleasant person and we communicated quite a
bit before her trip. I'm looking forward to reading her book and have already
called the library!
Best to you!

I'm glad that my great grandparents bought their plot. As well our family was
lucky to have a mausoleum to store the bones.
I have a relative that works at one if the cemeteries in Graciosa and I never
heard him say anything about taking a body that had not decomposed to the
ocean. The ritual

I'm not sure if there are any specific traditions. Both sides of my family were
from the Azores and now I have two rosary beads from each side. My paternal
grandmother told me that she was leaving her rosary in my care. It was handed
down to the first born girl in the family and

I wondered what he meant by that beat the body.seems like if it hadn't

Yeah, I think that the body not decomposing is just 1 component to becoming
a saint.

I looked through the NEPS site to find a relationship to this Revoredo
family. There are no records in Sao Roque that match to them. I tried all
the other towns on the island without luck. That leaves Bandeiras and
Candelaria to search
since they are on the CCA site, but not NEPS.

Hello Rosemarie,
See the message I just sent Nancy Jean. You all do know each other! So, the
author is actually a friend of yours! Please thank her for such an good
read. She did a fine job of separating what is clearly fact from the
fictional backstory, as far as I can see.

Hi Nancy Jean,
You all seem to know each other. I feel like I've stumbled into an extended
family. Well, so far the author's research seems to have paid off with all
sorts of interesting facts. I hope you enjoy the book, too.
