Iggy, They are listed on the Azores Genweb: http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/maps.html Click on the island (in your case, Sao Miguel) and scroll down to N for Nordeste. You will see only 1 church listed for Nordeste, called Sao Jorge. The third column lists the years that the microfilm covers (1563 - 1884).
The 1902 immigration may be his best guess. You'll also have to search 1901 and then 1903 and possibly keep expanding the the years, or try other American sources to figure out the immigration date. The 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 censuses all ask for the immigration year (a sample of what is asked on each U.S. Federal Census can be downloaded from Ancestry.com's Learning Center for FREE: http://www.ancestry.com/trees/charts/census.aspx) For other ideas on tracing your immigrant, check out the Azores Genweb here: http://homepage.mac.com/kmacardoza/Genealogy/HowTo.html Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
