Trisha, You have names and dates, but you need the freguesia (village) over there to begin your search. Here's a how to from the Azores Genweb of ideas on how to find your freguesia: https://goo.gl/vOijK0
Since their names a little different, you *might* be able to find the outbound from the Azores on the "Passaportes." You have "about" dates. So start there, and then search a year before and then a year after. Then keep expanding. You want to look in the port of Angra: http://tombo.pt/en/d/acores Good luck, Cheri Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 4:26 PM, Trisha <tishnic...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hello! > > I have been working on my genealogy for quite some time.
