Hi Terri,
I am also interested in AA.
I have a list of the marriages in AA from 1837 to 1900 and none of your
people appear to be married there... It is not much but at least you get the
information they married outside these dates. The surnames are there present
but not the people as you mention

One of the biggest problems for me when I first started was dealing with the
abbreviations in the records. Do you have a list of abbreviations to help
take the mystery out of reading the documents ? Also, I spent time reading
lots of documents (not just my ancestors) until I knew the handwr
THANK YOU SO MUCH everyone! This is alot of great advice. I went

time (because the library closed) some of the pages seemed easier
to read. I won't give up.

Hi Henrietta,
You are absolutely right: the names get confusing! Sometimes I have to

I found a book about the SILVA name in google. Is it correct?

Just curious: Is anyone researching on Pico ? I see a number of posts
regarding Graciosa, Sao Miguel and Sao Jorge, but not Pico where my

You've been a great help. Thanks for the name of Maria Cândida Curado -
that's new to me. And for the full family of Moreira da Câmara. That gives
me more to search on.
It seems that there were more Nesbitts there than I thought - but
unfortunately still no sign of the John that was born around 18
JC,
The CCA site will eventually house all the records. It will take a few more
years to complete all the islands. Right now, there are no records for
S.Miguel online. Only an index that Hermano provided to them for deaths in
Lagoa, I believe.

Mary Ann,
Thanks for taking time to post a reply. I'm aware of the database for Pico.
Actually, I spent several years extracting the marriages and deaths for
Candelaria with the thought of possibly publishing the results. I was in the
middle of doing the baptisms when the database came online.
Hi Gayle,
I am searching Pico, mostly Riberias, Pico with a few surrounding
villages and have gone back 7 generations. There are many missing
records and dead ends but I am grateful to everyone that has helped
me with my research.
Here are some of the names in my lines:

I am interested in Pico. My grandfather, Jose Machado Soares was born in
Lajes, Pico in 1881. He was the son of Jose Machado and Marianna Rosa
Macedo.
