Manuel E.C., I think for a certified record you may need to write to the Civil Registry, unless the Biblioteca has some way to certify old records. I know we can get certified copies from them, but I don't know if they are valid for your purpose.
The Civil Registry for Ribeira Quente would be Povoacao. Conservatória do Registo Civil 9650 Povoação São Miguel, Açôres Portugal They may kick you back to the Biblioteca though. When you are done with this project, start a new thread and list your R.Quente families. I have some lines from there.
