Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Terceira marriage records... how to find?
A recommendation; Joao just finished obtaining records for me as well. The first steps in breaking through my current brick wall. He found exactly what I requested and was extremely quick getting my records. I thought it would be slower, like those of us in Oklahoma. I got a packet today, but have yet to open my mail. ( Not home long enough. My son also wrote from boot camp. It's a great day for mail.) I tried for months to do it myself and got very lost, who went where with what name. I highly recommend Joao Ventura. Robin Lebo On Jun 4, 2012, at 22:24, Steve Wright cswrigh...@gmail.com wrote: I totally agree with Celeste. He has found lots for us.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Terceira marriage records... how to find?
That is wonderful! I hope to find out some more information -- find the little kernels of truth buried in the family stories. Maybe even find out if I have any living relatives still there. My dad was there back in the late 50's or early 60's and there were at least two of my grandmother's siblings still living. Fingers crossed. Thank you everyone.
