Thanks Edna, I'm very flattered, but please bear in mind if you use it as a guide that my transcription isn't entirely accurate. I made it in haste, and in reviewing it, I can see errors. Especially, I think, that Concelho is better translated as Council rather than District. There are a

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: records from 1927-1964 in Ajuda de Bretanha, Azores

The rule (if there is one) was that the records were sent from the Civil Registry every 5 years or so in years divisible by 5.. In 2010, the archive should have received the books from 1905 to 1910. Most seemed to have sent through 1911, since that is when the government took over. So if they follo
