The library in Horta has the various parish records going far back. I have copies of baptism certificates of my grandfather's oldest brother who was born in 1869.
The records are stored by parish, then by year and by date. Tomás Leal -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
