I have two books written by Maria Norberta Amorim for Lajes, I believe she also is the author for the Prainha and Santo Amaro books. I like these books because the cover every household in the Village and the order is set up in the order that the houses were located in 1883 many of those houses are still there in that same order. That is still how my parents talk about their village when they meet someone from there they sit down to have a good talk they start at the beginning of the Village and discuss each house in the order it is located. These books have quite a bit of information on my ancestors such as specific information on the property they owned and I really get a sense of which lines had it difficult and which ones were better off. It also contains genealogical information, immigration information, and much more but they are expensive, large and heavy books.
