They were also the last to abolish slavery in Europe. Continental Portugal abolished slavery before Azores. Some of my ancestors were documented as owning slaves. -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.

Interesting info. Just watched a program on History channel called "Mankind The story of all of us" One point was a bit shocking (to me anyway)It showed how the Portuguese were the first ones to capture and transport slaves from Africa. Great show otherwise.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] History Channel - Peter Francisco
I know he had an 18 cent (U.S. Commemorative) stamp made in his honor in 1975 (I think for the American bicentennial - I did stamps for my Girl Scout collectors badge). I remember writing something up on Peter Francisco for the Genealogy Forum on AOL. That would have been over 10 years ago. The only other bookmarks I have on him are: http://home.southwind.net/~crowther/Dibrell/Francisco.html Peter Francisco Day - March 15 http://www.vahistorical.org/onthisday/22473.htm I'm sure an Internet search will turn up more on him. I thought I remember asking Joao Ventura about him once. I think Joao said that he had Peter Francisco's genealogy, as he was born as Pedro on Terceira. I don't remember the freguesia though. Always wondered about the 6 foot 6 thing though. Sounds rather tall for the time period, let alone for someone from the Azores in that time period. Oh well, makes for a good story!
