Hi Guida Azevedo is one of the surnames on the 1604 and 1623 lists for the Azores of New Christians taxed for a General Pardon. I don't see any however listed for Sao Jorge. If however you believe you have Jewish ancestry and have done the family finder test by uploading the raw data to Gedmatch you will get a much clearer picture. Unfortunately that site is down a lot so access to it is hit and miss.
