Hi, Leslie, Oooh, I see you're in Salt Lake!
The nice thing about being in Salt Lake is having access to the Genealogical Library. Now that would be nice. I live in Wisconsin and have to order all the microfilms because so far there isn't any one else around here doing research in the Azores. But there you are with all the microfilms available. They will give you all the help you want.
