Ok great! Does anyone else want to contribute. For the marriages we have 1705-1743 and 1743-1763. Of course we have the baptism as well. I’m ok at deciphering records and I think it will take me a couple of weeks, so I does take some time. But I think it will be very helpful and as Terri

Fernando, As you know, there is a marriage index for Sao Miguel Arcanjo from 1800-1900. My suggestion would be to work backwards from that date (so starting in 1799 and working backwards). The further back you go, the more abbreviations are there and the more difficult it is to decipher. You may

In a previous post I found out that Terri Santos had transcribed and made available an index of Sao Pedro in VF (which was helpful). I thought that instead of going through the records over and over I should create an index and hopefully the extra work up front would pay off after. Also once

Hello Josephine, Naming practices and conventions varied in Portugal due to Historic and Religous influences in Portugal. Perhaps some one will address your question, but you may also find the explanation in the attached link, which in my opinion, is not quite right but it does drive the idea

Chromosome 23 is your sex chromosome that determines if you are a man or a woman. A man inherits the Y from his dad and an X (in tact) from his mom. A woman inherits 2 Xs. So this is why you are seeing a full X on the 23rd chromosome. Cheri Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel
