John, Alda, before 1900, I am almost sure everyone was born at home! I was born in Santa Maria in 74 but my youngest sister, in 1988, was born in Sao Miguel and registered in Santa Maria. Yes there was a time where children were being registered in Sao Miguel, when they should be registered in Santa Maria. Old policies! Now only Ponta Delgada's Hospital, has conditions, so they say, to assist birth, so everyone comes from Santa Maria, a few weeks earlier for that, a few days later they go back, as far as I know they are all being registered in Santa Maria.
