Hi Mara, Thank you so much for helping. So the Baptism entry from 1956 was the first one, even though he was Baptized only a month after he was born... weird... Anyway, do you think there were no passports issuing in Ponta Delgada before 1875 or they only not avaiable for research?
The problem in finding my great grandfather by the port of entry is that I have no idea when or where to he came/went. I know he married my ggrandmother in 1877 so it has to be before that. I`m used to researching in familysearch. com - I even volunteer for digitalizing their records - but I`ve never looked on ancestry.com. Do they carry ship manifest records there? So far the only ones I have found are for ships going to the US, Thanks again. Hope I can be of use to friends of this group. :) Em quinta-feira, 25 de fevereiro de 2016 11:42:56 UTC-3, Mara escreveu: > > Hi Luciana, > > 1. The P. stands for "primeira" (first) certificate. > 2.
