You're welcome. When you finally nail down enough information to actually allow you to research Sao Mateus, feel free to ask for help. There are only a few of us here that research on Pico. There seem to be lots people working on Sao Miguel and Sao Jorge. A few on tiny Flores. But, everyone in

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Infant mortality rates 1700's - Azores

The infant mortality rate was high in all the islands (and was probably high in the whole world; in America most families lost more than one child. If you walk through an old New England cemetery where people often had family plots, you'll see many small markers in the form of lambs marking the

Mortality rates were high in general in the western world at the time. Even in the wealthy. Thomas Jefferson, for example, and his wife had 6 children in 10 years. Only 2 survived more than 6 years. Cheers J > On Mar 11, 2017, at 5:33 PM, Diane George wrote: > > Here

Is it just Sao Jorge or did all the islands of the Azores have high mortality rates in the late 1700's? It just aches my heart when looking through Obits and seeing so many for your children (birth to 10 years old). I've been trying to Google it but having a hard time finding out why ...

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Jose Perreira de Borba and Barbara Perreira Machado

The groom was from Santa Catarina. That's all your document says. If a bride and groom are from different villages, they are more likely to get married in the bride's parish. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das

The Farilhoes are not part of the Azores archipelago. I think they belong to a district in Portugal itself. I don't know where or how their records are housed. You can search the FamilySearch.org catalog or try Tombo.pt. Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island:
