It's the Arquivos site. The archive in Ponta Delgada said it was like a card catalog for all the islands. I don't think so. It does have Sao Miguel island stuff though: http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/ Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca,

Leonor, since you made reference to a possible inheritance, there is a section on the Azores site that allows one to research names regarding property and inventories. But the site address escapes me now. Perhaps someone who knows can post the address. JR On Thursday, February 14, 2019 at

I once again give my vote of confidence to Cheri. I see that he married on 27 April 1928 and agree that she was 27 years old and with all the names Cheri provided. It seems that his missed attempts to cross Ts results in dotted vowels after the Ts (see vinTE seTE, mil nove cenTOS, vinTE

The Portuguese language has changed over the years. The last change was in 1990 (I think), threw me for a loop, I still revert to writing the words the way I learned, I never know which way is right sometimes, I figure as long as they understand what I'm saying, we're good, lol. On Sat, 16 Feb

He married on the 20 something of April 1000 900 20 and 1?? with Maria Soares de Moura, she's 27 (I think), she's a native of Santa Barbara, daughter of Jose Figuerido and Maria de Moura. The note was made 27 April 1928, so I would think that they married in 1928, not 1921. Hopefully someone else

I see Por testatmento foi sepultado, by his will he was buried (meaning it was what he wanted). It looks like he died in Altares but wanted to be buried in S. Roque where he was born. Sorry, I was speaking historically. On Sat, 16 Feb 2019 at 17:33, Cheri Mello wrote: > Typically, the death

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help Jose Rodrigues Coelho obit 1815 Altares Terceria

Typically, the death records state if they was a will or not (in the 2nd and 3rd time periods). So we have to do with what happened historically in the Azores, not what is happening right now in our lifetimes. This looks like "foi testamento" to me (for there "was a will.") [image: image.png]
