AÇORES/AZORES, 1604, 1623 LIST OF NEW CHRISTIANS TAXED FOR A GENERAL PARDON ( click on tables to increase text size) (Source: Paulo Drumond Braga, A Inquisição Nos Açores/The Inquisition in the Azores, PHD thesis, 1996, Universidade Nova Lisboa, published by the Cultural Institute of the Azores) anyone know the origin of the name of "Porto Judeu" in terceira? i have been referred to alexandre herculano but have not tracked down the relevant passage. manuel lopes d'azevedo paim (ribeirinha, santa luzia pico), tavira, estramoz ps, inquisition records in the torre de tombo national archives are also a good source of information. i believe the first person burned at the stake from the azores, a woman from sao miguel via Viseu was burned circa 1580.
