Jeremy Unfortunately those records were lost. My father was born in Lomba but my paternal grandfather was born in Lajes and I was able to trace his line back to the mid 1600's. However, I have only been able to trace my paternal grandmother's line back to the early 1800's. Flores researchers are a disadvantage because, as the story goes, in the mid 1600's pirates or privateers invaded the island and burned every church on the island. I have not been able to trace any of my lines off the island. Maybe someday DNA may allow us to make that leap. John Vasconcelos
