Thank you, Cheri! I know my maternal great-grandfather, Jose Rodrigues Casquilha, was born on 30 March 1888, so this record is helpful (I hope). In answer to Pam Santos' question earlier: I am now NOT sure who Jose's parents were...but I'm continuing to poke around and see if I can clarify...will

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] finding family in Azores?

The street where I was living on when I was baptized is not where I live now. It's not even the same city. When the 1900-1905 books became available, I went to the archives in Ponta Delgada to find the rest of the siblings of my immigrant ancestor. The youngest sibling was born in 1900 and had a
