Joanne,
There is an entry on the passports in Ponta Delgada on Feb 13, 1904 for a Jose
Pereira son of Joaquim Pereira and Emilia Augusta traveling with his wife
Francisca de Jesus age 25 and Humberto age 1. If this is your family, they are
from Sao Rogue, Ponta Delgada. Have you tried the microfilm at the FHC? It
should be easy enough to find since you know the birth date.

Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] grandmother with pais incognito
Hi group,
I hope someone can help me in my quest. On my grandmother's Francisca J
(Almeida) Pereira born July 1 1879 passport application her parents were listed
as pais inognito. It is thought that the Almeida name was that of her foster or
adoptive parents.
Does anyone know where you begin to look for a birth or baptismal record?
I will be in Sao Miguel for ten days. Leaving on August 14. Will be going to
the archives to trace my grandfather's family (Pereira) but she is the one that
I am really interested in. I know that the Almeida family was from Sao Pedro,
Ponta Delgada. One of the wonderful people in this group found her "sister's"
obituary in Oakland,CA. My grandparents came to the East coast and settled in
Fall River,MA.
She arrived with my grandfather and an 18 month old son named Umberto.
George Pacheco mentioned that the baptisms of those children were kept in
the Matriz church. Any idea as tto how I can see that book?
Am I on a fruitless quest?
Joanne Souza
