Canto’s indexes are another great tool for research. There’s books at the Arquives in Sao Miguel. A few genealogists, professionals or perhaps others may have acquired a copy but it’s out of print. It is not related to the link you provided. Canto was also the Editor for the Gov. Archivo dos Acores at the time. The Archivo do contain some chapters of genealogical interest, from time to time, but it’s mostly about matters of Gov, observations, happenings, etc. related to Sao Miguel, or it may include some other islands. These books are downloadable.

Roque e aí faleceu a 21.8.1900. Foi bacharel formado em Filosofia pela Universidade de Coimbra a 25.7.1856, sócio correspondente da Academia Real das Ciências, de Lisboa e de outras sociedades científicas, tanto nacionais como estrangeiras. Notabilizou-se como erudito historiador e genealogista, tendo sido autor do Arquivo dos Açores e de outras publicações de reconhecido mérito. Foi Presidente da Junta Geral do Distrito de Ponta Delgada e uma das figuras de maior prestígio da sociedade micaelense no decorrer do século XIX. Casou na ermida de Nossa Senhora do Amparo, anexa à casa-solar desta família em S. Pedro Ponta Delgada a 5.5.1859, com sua sobrinha Margarida Leite do Canto." (from Rodrigo Rodrigues). Among many other things, Ernesto do Canto took an inventory of the existing vital records in the Azores and developed an index (the manuscripts are at the Archives in Ponta Delgada) which are an invaluable resource for beginners and even for those who hit "stone walls". For example, his index for the marriages in Santo António além Capelas lists marriages for which the records no longer exist! I hope this helps.
