Paul,
You're talking about the confession rolls.
All churches kept them (maybe still keep them?) but only a few have appeared online so far.
They are amazing resources, but limited to just the few villages thus far.
Of course, we all hope there are more available soon and that every village will have them, but I won't hold my breath on that.
We do know more do exist, because at least one list member, Susan Vargas Murphy, has a copy for one or two years (they are annual books) for I think it's Castelo Branco, Faial. And I have read notes referencing Conceicao, Angra, I believe.
In the meantime, you'll have to stick with the more traditional materials and hope it's not too long for these others to appear.

Oh well, the search goes on. Thanks Cheri & Shirley. Are there records, similar to a census that list the entire family? I thought someone called them church records.Paul G.

She was born in the freguesia of Água Retorta, year unknown. Her parents (from my great grandfathers baptismo record) are Antonio de Mello and Francisca de Medeiros. Any assistance will be a great help.Does anyone know of online church/parish records that can be searched like census records?Thanks,Paul G.
