Hi Paul, I checked my file for looking for Francisco child of Ana Mello. No luck, I checked for other Francisco born of other Ana’s and Pais Incognitos..None that made sense. I don’t think Francisco was born in Santo Espirito. The only thing I did find was the bride’s mother, Joana Andrade,

Thanks for the information! I have a relative that has some oral history on that side of the family and the name Ruth rings a bell, but I can't imagine it being the same one. I will follow up with her to see if she may know anything. Do you happen to have a family tree that you could share

Hi Gordon, Hope that's a typo and you are on the Tombo.pt web site. There's a British flag towards the upper right corner. It will put most of the navigation into English. Since Tombo.pt is comprised of many pages, and I don't know what you are looking at, can you take a screen shot and post it?

Hello, if I understand your question correctly you are asking for advance research information before your travels. I understand you don't speak the language but not better way to get started than to glean through the records for names, dates and place. You can research on line, easiest to go

LeFevre13, Many of us who have done research for many years can locate a likely baptism for an Antonio born in 1842 in almost all the freguesias of Sao Miguel and it will seem to fit. Antonio and Souza are very common names. Why Faja de Cima? You don't want to be barking up the wrong tree. Since
