Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] place name
Shirl, Did you look at the actual image? I think you are correct in assuming Portugal and Terceira. If you want me to take a look, send the info to me and I will gladly do so.

Some came from other trees but they didn't show any image, either. Someone along the line must have misinterpreted the spelling. Now to go back and change all the birth place to Portugal! I do know that the Massachusetts archives had written Terceira, WL and Cheri told me that they meant Western Islands. When the lady at the archives wrote back she included the original script which did look a lot like a fancy L! (Hopefully, she changed the records.) - Shirl - -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Place Name or ??
wikipedia: Fajãs are a geological feature of São Jorge Island in the Azores. The island is volcanic in character with steep cliffs running down to the sea. The fajãs are small areas of flat land by the sea caused by the collapse of cliffs. The fajãs are fertile and used for growing many plants including yams, maize and vegetables. It is possible to grow coffee, vineyards, tropical fruits and dragon trees in some of them. There are fajãs on both sides of the island. On the lower, sunnier southern coast, one will find the fajãs of Velas, Santo Amaro, Almas, Grande, Vimes, Bodes, Além, São João, Cardoso and Alabaçal. The north is a succession of tiny fajãs at the bottom of ravines that are hundreds of metres deep; the outstanding ones are those of Caldeira de Santo Cristo with an underwater cave and a lake which is the only source of cockles in the Azores, Cubres (also with a crystalline lake) and Ouvidor.
