Just got the book (finally). It covers all the island. In comparison with the Casais book, it doesn't include Corvo, and it re-organizes all the data in a classical descendents report format.
I'm attaching an image of some people that may ring a bell to you Eric. My opinion of it? It should be an ebook... I want to search names, and I don't want to read and turn 782 pages each time. Thankfully, the author seems to have realized that it's better to leave the book in amazon, so I'd still recommend to buy that one as well: https://www.amazon.com/Casais-das-Flores-Corvo-Portuguese-ebook/dp/B00AQAOOF6 During the process to buy the book, I got a list from the Lajes city hall that indicates they have a lot of other of Francisco Gomes's books still for sale in the dead tree version.
