Marcia,
What surname are you searching? My father was from Vila Franca, and I
still have relatives there. There is a park next to S. Miguel church,
maybe you'll find some old folks there!

"de" means of.
"da" is a contraction for "of the" is is used with feminine words.
"do" is a contraction of "of the" and is used with masculine words.
These are literal translations, so it doesn't always make sense with
surnames. They are just prefixes.

Jones,
There's a book with the marriages for all of Flores. I don't have Flores
ancestry, but there are others on this list that do and own the book.
Someone might be able to do a look up for you. Once you know the freguesia,
you can order the film and start researching your ancestry.
