Brian, How to pick at the records is on the Azores GenWeb here. Many of us learned to "read" by chipping away at our own records and now we can help others :) http://www.worldgenweb.org/azrwgw/research-aids-a---l/finding-your-portuguese/finding-your-portuguese-9/
To find your Maria, you will have to go freguesia (village) by freguesia, looking for a Maria, born June, 1905 to a Manuel Jorge Dias and a Josefina _____. https://tombo.pt/en/i/sao-jorge Choose the first council (county), Calheta, and go to each freguesia and search. If you can't find her, go to the council of Velas and then through every freguesia there. Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Tue, Jun 11, 2019 at 10:20 AM Analytic Advantage < analyticadvantag...@gmail.com> wrote: > I don't have any information on them other than their names.
