Cheri - I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Everytime I click "POST", I get a pop-up that says it isn't connected to a valid CC address, which is supposed to be the Azores Group on googlegroups.com. I feel like such a nincompoop. Any advice? --Andy On Tuesday, December 24, 2013 8:11:54 AM

I'll try to keep this short, but from time to time I love reading a good "happy ending" genealogy story, and since I am new to this group, I thought mine might be a story worth sharing with all of you. ... I have been researching for 40 years. I remember paying someone travelling to the Azores

Hi Nancy - Well, it looks like we are indeed cousins! I am attaching my Rosario Lagoa Pimentel line, which is clearly the same as yours. I have always suspected that the "Bodé" of Frias Bodé was a short-lived nickname assigned to (or taken on by) some members of the family for a generation or two.

I am trying (with mixed success) to find the families of *Carlos Lustre*& Roza Adelaide (Carregal) and his brother *Hypolito Lustre* & Maria Augusta Leonardo. The Lustres owned and performed in a circus that traveled through the islands during the 1850s-1860s. I think that's why records for the

Hi everyone. I thought I was pretty good at deciphering old Azorean handwriting and knowing Portuguese surnames, but this has me stumped. The same surname for the same person in two documents 24 years apart, written by two different scribes, but I just can't decipher what the surname is. Can

I've researched through lots and lots of Azorean records over the years, but don't remember seeing this boy's name used in this overwhelmingly Catholic archipelago: Judas. Just thought it was interesting and worth sharing: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-ND-SAOJORGE-B-1

I thought I'd throw this one out there for the many who are far more knowledgeable about the Portuguese language than I. Years ago I ran across the occupation of a long past multi-great grandfather, Manoel Carvalho. The record is as clean and easy to read as you could ever want, but the occup
