Freguesia in Lagoa, west to east: Cabouco, Santa Cruz, Nossa Senhora do Rosario, Agua de Pau, Ribeira Cha. You need to do more U.S. based research first. But if you want to use the needle-in-the-haystack method, you can start searching around the freguesias of your ancestors. Cheri Mello

Yes that was a typo ,My grandfather got married to her in the USA in 1895 so i researched for passports from St Michaels 1895 1894 and so forth until i came upon the missing passport records where i think it would be. Then again i was looking For Jose da Silva Margarida so what part of that

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: indices

You typed somewhere about the 1700s. Sao Miguel passaportes do not go back to the 1700s. Unless you made a typo. You should probably start a new thread, title it with her name, approximate year of birth, and Sao Miguel island. In the body put what research you have done on her in the U.S. Maybe

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: indices

Cheri thanks for your words of wisdom but i have already taken that into consideration. My grandfather was from Lagoa so my thinking is that she was from close by,and the answer is probably in the passports from there,but as you know the years that i want coenside with the years that are

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: indices

Paul, Knowing someone was from somewhere on Sao Miguel (70 or so churches, although a few less churches in the 1770s) is like knowing someone is from the United States and you don't know which of the 50 states to look in. And you can't use Ancestry to search either, as the CCA isn't set up like

Thanks for all of your input i have tried looking for Anna daughter of Antonio Cabral da Siva and Anna Lucianna still no luck yet she was born around 1776 somewhere over there in St Michaels. i though that going by the indices would help,but now i'm not so sure On Wednesday, January 11, 2017

Thank you Cheri that is what i thought and i am not looking for a John Mello. I have found all my relatives by going to Lagoa St Michaels Santa Cruz now they are spreading out to different parishes and all those are still located on the same island. I have located 19 records so far

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: indices

An index is an alphabetical list of names, typically found at the end of a book. The book is usually chronological. So the index usually lists the content by name. Or at least now-a-days, in America. I don't know in what parish you are looking. If you are on FamilySearch or Ancestry.com, they

Let me redo my question, what is the purpose behind indexing ? in some of the parishes but not all.If i am looking for a John Mello how would going to indexing help me in finding him or does it. On Wednesday, January 11, 2017 at 4:05:37 PM UTC-5, pjm47 wrote: > > Can anyone here please explain

Hi again Walter, I'll reply to this in public, as it seems others may have the same doubt. You asked if I got 'special' access to create the database. I have no special access at all. I simply use the same tools you use (a web browser). But the browser I use to create the database is a

Hi Walter, There are actually two sites, the old etombo.com has been in a standstill since 2011. In mid-2013, I started creating http://tombo.pt, but I only made the web crawlers that index the Azores and mainland Portugal (I still miss Madeira and the special Guimarães archive). But then I

Hi all, Note that the number is now lower by 69: 4243. This is because they removed the 74 index books they had added on the 17th ( http://tombo.pt/content/218-novos-livros-paroquiais-em-17122013), and re-added them back, but this time grouped as only 5 books (

Rick, I can also recommend that you check my website http://tombo.pt everyday.. If that number in front of Centro de Conhecimento dos Açores moves from 4312, just go into the articles below, where the new parish books are listed. I'm running a simple book finder script every 24h, which will

Joao, You're doing a great job and treasured service. I use http://tombo.pt often and have noticed a big improvement since you got deeply involved. I don't know what the archives would do without you since the site seamed to be at a standstill for quite some time. Keep up the good work,
