"Ernesto do Canto, Dr., nasceu a 12.12.1831 na casa dos Prestes, em S. Roque e
aí faleceu a 21.8.1900. Foi bacharel formado em Filosofia pela Universidade de
Coimbra a 25.7.1856, sócio correspondente da Academia Real das Ciências, de
Lisboa e de outras sociedades científicas, tanto nacionais como estrangeiras.
Notabilizou-se como erudito historiador e genealogista, tendo sido autor do
Arquivo dos Açores e de outras publicações de reconhecido mérito. Foi
Presidente da Junta Geral do Distrito de Ponta Delgada e uma das figuras de
maior prestígio da sociedade micaelense no decorrer do século XIX. Casou na
ermida de Nossa Senhora do Amparo, anexa à casa-solar desta família em S. Pedro
Ponta Delgada a 5.5.1859, com sua sobrinha Margarida Leite do Canto." (from
Rodrigo Rodrigues).
Among many other things, Ernesto do Canto took an inventory of the existing
vital records in the Azores and developed an index (the manuscripts are at the
Archives in Ponta Delgada) which are an invaluable resource for beginners and
even for those who hit "stone walls". For example, his index for the marriages
in Santo António além Capelas lists marriages for which the records no longer
exist!
I hope this helps.

I have seen it mentioned a number
of times before but have no idea of what it might be.
Please enlighten me :))
