Shirl,
I don't remember ever seeing anything about them in the normal church records.
I assume you want info on your Moroccan lines of Benarus, etc, and not the original Jews from the early 1500s forced to convert.
I guess they only showed up in general population census records. Tom Leal just mentioned a census taken on Pico for Santo Amaro in the late 1800s. I don't remember the year.
If that was an effort throughout the entire Azores, then that would probably include everyone, no matter the religion.
There was the 1869 census of the entire Austro-Hungarian Empire and that is one of the only sources of Jews for Hungary. Taking a census might have caught on and been done in all other countries about that time.

Doug- Would that church also have Jewish information?

Anne,The diocese of Angra encompasses the entire 9 islands of the Azores.The main church of the diocese is the Se Cathedral in Angra, Terceira. Maybe that's what you were thinking about.I'm not sure, but I believe that Angra's cathedral was first built in the late 1400s.Doug da Rocha Holmes

Is the Diocese of Angra on Pico or Terceira? I had thought it was Pico, but that may be wrong.Anne Snyder
