[AZORES-Genealogy] 1180s to the early 1900 research

[ldykas99]

I have been trying to do research on both sides of my family.  Both
came from San Miguel.  My paternal grandparents came to America in
1907 and my maternal grandparents came in 1914.  I can not find them
on any passanger ship lists. I find them on census forms but thats
it.  I have stories from my parents but only bits and pieces.  Not
sure where to begin.

Thank you,
Kelly Souza-Young

Kelly,

Here's 30+ pages on where to begin:

Passaportes from Sao Miguel are online here.  You need to know their names
in the Azores and you'll need to be able to read a little Portuguese. Both
1907 and 1914 can be found here:

Hopefully you have the freguesias, otherwise, you'll find many people with
your ancestors' names.

Good luck,
