[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Abreviaturas Paleografias Portuguesas by Borges Nunes

[linda]

Hi All,

I successfully received my copy of the book yesterday.  I ordered it on 
January 15th, and the post office attempted to deliver it on the 8th 
(signature required, but I wasn't home).  It was well wrapped and arrived 
in excellent condition.  It's a little smaller than I imagined it would be, 
measuring about 5.5"x8", but at 1/4", it's thicker too.  I'm very pleased 
with the purchase, and I hope that everyone who took the chance to order it 
is as satisfied as I am.

I'd also like to remind everyone that the Portuguese paleography booklet 
available from FamilySearch.org is an excellent companion to the Borges 
Nunes book and provides some of the introductory information that BN 
doesn't.  The Borges book is much more comprehensive in its scope, though, 
so I think they work very well together.

The FamilySearch booklet is available to download here:

https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE3444979

fingers crossed that all the book deliveries go well,

:)

Linda

Bob, that's interesting that your firm is in English.  I filled mine out out 
from the Portuguese.  Can you just skip that box?  Sorry I'm no help on it but 
maybe someone else knows the answer.  I hope.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Abreviaturas Paleografias Portuguesas by Borges Nunes

[linda]

Hi Maria Elena,

The link is in this thread:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/azores/abreviaturas%7Csort:relevance/azores/KDZmlWFbuPQ/IBkVEGuiCAAJ

While I hope I'm wrong, the pdf appears to me to be an unauthorized copy.  
I'm really happy to be able to replace the pdf with a booklet for a few 
different reasons, and I'd encourage everyone to obtain a legitimate copy 
if possible.

best wishes,

:)

Linda

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Abreviaturas Paleografias Portuguesas by Borges Nunes

[Maria Lima]

Linda, thanks for post nag about the Portuguese Abbreviations book.  You 
mentioned that you had a PDF.  Can you send me a link so I can download the 
PDF.  I've been trying to find the book online this morning but haven't been 
able to find it.  I hope this is something you can do.  

If not then I think the next best thing is order the book from Lisbon.  Again, 
thanks

I wish you every success!

An update on my order: On Wednesday, I received a "Sorry we missed you" 
delivery tag from the Post Office.  It seems that the book was shipped with 
a Signature Confirmation required on delivery.  I haven't been able to go 
to the PO to attempt to claim it yet because of work.  So, the book arrived 
quite quickly, though I don't have it in hand just yet.  I'll report back 
again when I do.

I ordered the book on the 15th.  Today I received a tracking number; it's 
shipping out of the city of Porto.  I'll update the thread again when the 
book arrives.
