Marjorie, since you have a birth date of 12 Oct 1865 for Domingo (Domingos in Azores) Dutra, you can start searching the Church Records of the Azores. The books of baptisms for 1865 are separated by yearly baptisms (each book covers one year) so it wouldn't be that difficult for you to check the villages for a baptism of a Domingos on that date born to a Jose Dutra. You need to go to Tombo.pt which is a portal to the CCA (the government site that has all of the baptisms, marriages, deaths). Once you are on Tombo, look to the left and scroll down to the bottom of the list and click on "Acores" once there look to the left again and click on Sao Jorge, the next screen in the Concelhos (Counties) of Velas and Calheta. Start with Calheta and go from there. Once you have clicked on a Village name the records available for that village will load. Click on Baptisms for 1865 and start looking. You will have to do this for each village unless you can come up with the Village name beforehand. I would suggest that you google "AzoresGenWeb" and download the map of Sao Jorge (Not St. Jorge) and print out. You will need this map and the list of churches/villages and the records available for each village. There are many, many other resources on this site that you will need when reading the records of the Azores. Ore you can come with Cheri and I to Salt Lake City for the Azores Conference and Research trip! Good Luck!
