 Cheri and others,
OK.so this is where my message belongedand it does have the book as 
subjectIDK what happened when I replied from my iphone while in the car as 
it was supposed to go here...so here it goes again.
I think, I hope many will be interested in these books.  Years ago when I went 
to Croatia I found out many years ago, a young man on the island wrote notes 
about the people living on Italian/Croatian island my family came from. My 
Archbishop cousin had them reprinted into 5 very heavy books. The cost was 
$200.  One of the best $200 I ever spent for my genealogy. I bought them whilst 
there and carried them home in my luggage (before weight was an issue, thank 
God) and also carried them all over Europe for the rest of my trip. To my 
knowledge, these books were never reprinted. I cannot read, write, speak 
Italian, Croatian or Portuguese for that matter..but I have this family 
back to the 1503!! To this day I still reference my books. 
Do not pass the offer up for these books if you have an interest in this area 
of the Azores.

 Hello!
I believe the following should be of interest to Sao Jorge researchers:
I found online a while back that a gentleman named Climaco Ferreira da Cunha, 
who lives in Calheta, Sao Jorge, has written three books about Sao Jorge.  I 
reached out to him to inquire about the contents of each book, and here is what 
I recieved:
1st. Book: "Remembering the Past", speaks about the experience of our people 
from 70, 80 years ago.  It has 310 pages, 50 different articles accompanied by 
50 photographs, begins with the grandmother's apron, the child in the twentieth 
century, the school in our past, old games and toys, the beggar in the 
twentieth century, the dating of old and many more. Price 10 euros.
2nd. Book: "São Jorge and its Fajãs", has 226 pages and deals since the 
discovery of the Azores, settlement of the island of São Jorge and its 
development, the history of the 76 fajãs that existed and the more detailed 
history of the fajãs that have their Ermidas, like the Fajã dos Cubres, citing 
the reason for this name, and the history of its Hermitage dedicated to Our 
Lady of Lourdes, speaks of its lagoon, its rivers and its evolution, presenting 
photographs of the main fajãs and at the end of the Book some curiosities 
concerning our island. Price 10 euros.

3rd. Book: "The Feasts of the Holy Spirit in the county of Calheta", which are 
10 empires and consequently 10 different parties with their history of the past 
and the present, the thirds sung in these empires, symbolism of the insignia of 
the Holy Spirit, and at the end Of the book recipes of the menu that is served 
on the day of the calls "soups", photographs of all 23 empires of the island, 
has 298 pages. Price 12 euros.
The cost of sending by mail to the United States is 7 euros for the book Sao 
Jorge and it's Fajãs, and about 14 euros for the others, because they are 
heavier and exceed half a kilo.

The author has also informed me that he will accept paypal as payment to the 
following address: ge...@cfc.pt ~  simply put in your address, the title of the 
book you would like, and send enough money for the combined euro price of 
shipping and the book. 
I believe that I will be ordering the 2nd book about the history of the Island, 
and Rosemarie the same. 
If you have any questions, please let me know!
Thank you, and happy hunting!
