Good morning Courtney,
Although we don't have an index, we do have the Archives in Angra do

Angra do Heroismo, besides Vila de São Sebastião and Vila da Praia, are

Carmen,
You've got Jose being married 16 days after he was born. You may want to
post a different marriage date.

I have documents also. Is Joao Pitta your wife's relative? Pitta came to USA
in July 1910 with one of my relatives, Manuel Gomes from Canhas. I've been
trying to see if I can get a picture - maybe from his passport, but Archives
said they couldn't help. Nancy H.

Another way this chart can be used, when you get your Family Finder Results
in, is for example you have a Relationship Range of 5th to Remote Cousin.
You simply look at the center of the chart for 5th cousin and you see on the
outside column 4th Great Grand Parent. This is where you should start

Eric,
I see your 2nd post. You don't call or write the Department of Homeland
Security. They don't deal with historical documents. You write the United
States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). They started handling
the requests for genealogy about 5 years ago now. Maybe that is why
