Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Sao Miguel Marriages

Thanks Rosemarie for finding this. I think it would be great if they would do it and find the funding for somebody(s) to transcribe as it’s a huge job. But... I don’t want to discourage our group from doing some now because of a couple reasons. 1. Who knows if they will even get the funding. 2.

Joe that’s great. Do you want to send me what you did and we can go from there. I was hoping other researchers had done an index or two. Please email me at fpimentel at hotmail.com Thanks Fernando -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Vila Franca Records

Ok great! Does anyone else want to contribute. For the marriages we have 1705-1743 and 1743-1763. Of course we have the baptism as well. I’m ok at deciphering records and I think it will take me a couple of weeks, so I does take some time. But I think it will be very helpful and as Terri

[AZORES-Genealogy] Vila Franca Records

In a previous post I found out that Terri Santos had transcribed and made available an index of Sao Pedro in VF (which was helpful). I thought that instead of going through the records over and over I should create an index and hopefully the extra work up front would pay off after. Also once

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ernesto do Canto Index

The reason I’m curious about the Canto index is because the list that Terri compiled for S Pedro has names on the Canto index that were not on the CCA books. Do the archives allow copying (photographs, photocopies)? Thanks Fernando -- You received this message because you are subscribed to

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ernesto do Canto Index

Terri, thanks for doing the index. Where or how did you get the Canto index? Do you have the index for Matriz? Thanks Fernando -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ernesto do Canto Index

Thanks for the info. I could use the Achada copy if you don’t mind posting. Does anyone else in this group have a copy of the other churches? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ernesto do Canto Index

Thanks Cheri! So to be clear, the index listed is not for all marriages in that church for the years. He only has “important” marriages listed as maybe that’s the lines he was researching? This still maybe helpful, so how do I get a copy of the manuscripts? Thanks Fernando -- You received

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Ernesto do Canto Index

Cheri, Can you tell us a bit about this index. Was this a book he wrote, is it available online, is it accurate, etc. Thanks, Fernando -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group. To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Noble Lines

I used https://geneall.net - I think it was created by 4 or 5 Portuguese historians. It has current people as well and you can contribute, but I think it goes through a vetting process. The noble lines are color coded so it’s easy to follow. If you just want to look at previous kings, go to the
