Justin S, Just so you are clear, the Azores are a different island group than the Cape Verde island group.
You will need to find which Cape Verde island that your ancestors came from and then the village. It is all organized by village. You can try death certificates, newspaper obituaries, naturalization records, censuses, etc. Although this was written with the Azorean genealogist in mind, you can still use it as a guide as which sources to research to find your village in Cape Verde: http://goo.gl/mgo41c Good Luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
