[AZORES-Genealogy] Question on Madeira research

A friend asked me for help on his wife's Madeira ancestry. I'd like to help with reading the records for them but I'm not sure the records are online like the Azores. I'm not even sure yet if there's more than one island - sorry to admit in public - I'm just starting to explore how I can help t

Madeira is digitizing their records too. Their site is called the ABM and you can access it through Tombo.pt. However, I think the ABM is down at the moment. Madeira has only 2 islands: Madeira, (about the same population as Sao Miguel) and Porto Santo. The Madeira list is run by Luis Beal and it

The archive in Ponta Delgada on Sao Miguel island only scanned their records to 1905 or so. Not all were scanned to 1910/1911. The CCA considers the genealogy project done and have moved on to other historical things on the islands. :( Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel isla

But it is not really a surname. It's more like Antonio Jose- that is two first names. However, you may find he uses it as surname as many did in the 1800's or so. JR On Monday, May 15, 2017 at 10:40:21 AM UTC-4, Richard Francis Pimentel wrote: > > *Thanks Joanne & Rosemarie,* > > > > *That i

Andrew, unless you are planning a trip to the Azores you will have to hire a researcher to do the research for you. You can go to the Azores GenWeb site at: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~azrwgw/index.html and look for the list that Kathy has of researchers for hire. Personally I have Joao Ventu
