Christian, Praia is the freguesia (village) and Sao Mateus is the church of that freguesia. The freguesia may have a few neighborhoods in it. Cheri -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at

I made it to Salt Lake! To find Confession Rolls, go to Tombo.pt. Seach for your freguesia. Once your freguesia comes up, Tombo.pt will display ALL records that the CCA digitized for your freguesia. Cheri -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Graciosa Confessional Roll abbreviations

Yes, all the villages have them. However, I think only some freguesias in Graciosa and a couple in Terceira have them online. When the government created the vital record system in 1910/1911 they were after birth, marriage, death type records. So very few confession rolls were sent to the

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Graciosa Confessional Roll abbreviations

Very well put Cheri. That should help clarify it for a lot of people. Yes, sometimes they will put sections or areas of the village and sometimes they will put street names and even path descriptions to describe where the person resided. On Sunday, September 4, 2016 at 1:17:44 PM UTC-5,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Graciosa Confessional Roll abbreviations

Christian, Let's say you are moving to Omaha, Nebraska. You find an real estate agent to show you some homes. First he shows you a home in the Conestoga part of Omaha. Too quaint for your taste. Then he shows you a home in the Deer Park section of Omaha. Too rustic. Then he shows you one in the

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Graciosa Confessional Roll abbreviations

p.s. Tammy, if you ever find Manuel (or Manoel) Jose (Joze) Machado around 1800 to 1806 let me know. My ancestry research says he was from Feiteira, Graciosa but that come up as Feteira, I think, on the Tombo.pt site and I haven't had much luck. While I know his general info from his son's

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Graciosa Confessional Roll abbreviations

Christian, It's almost a shot in the dark trying to match up just someone named Manuel Machado. You need to find his marriage record and then his wife's death to know if this could possibly be him. Also you need to do the search for all of his children to try and match them all up. Is Rosa his

Hello all, I've been buried in the confessional rolls of Graciosa trying to find my ancestors Manual Machado (b.abt.1805), his son Francisco Machado, and his son Jacintho Machado but last names are not often used. For example, the following document seems like it could be my Manuel Machado and
