Helda, Can you give us an approximate place of birth and also, do you know where in the Azores (parish and island) Laura would have been born in? Even guesses will be helpful and would help filter out the Lauras who are not matches. Thanks! John M. raposo On Tuesday, May 20, 2014 9:33 PM,

Laureana was born in Lajes do Pico. I looked up the birth record and there there is nothing there to indicate that the parents were not married. And, it also says the father was from Lajes, mother was from Ribeiras, so although we probably have the right Laura, she may not be Helda's Laura.
