Thank you Milind. Unfortunately, I'm looking for 1800 records. I believe these are stored at the archives. Hopefully, I'll make some headway.  I wish there was someone in Goa who would offer to undertake this work for a fee. Take care,selma On Monday, 3 April 2023 at 14:59:24 BST, 'Milind

Hi Selma, I have been going to Goa archives during every visit of mine since 2009. I have never had a major issue in terms of going there and getting what I need. The only issue is the bureaucracy. In the past one could present themselves at the entrance, leave belongings and enter the

The documents are all falling apart. Apparently an attempt is being made to save them with help from a foundation. For birth certificates you may want to check the parish churches. I do not believe the Archives have birth certificates but I could be wrong. JohnSent from my iPhoneOn Apr 3, 2023, at

Dear Cristiana, I had never hear of him, but googling about him it really seems a curious character. As you are not in Goa, so without access to the archives, my suggestion, as a first step, most probably has already occurred to you: to check the Diário do Governo. best wishes, Sandra
