I'm guessing that they were keeping stats on literacy. Don't know why that would be important for emigration though. Was someone standing there saying "Oh please don't go, you're a literate one."? Lol. I guess they had their reasons. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the

Doreen Yeah, it sounds like our situations are the same. I have done a thorough search for my guy in the passports and not found him. I’m concluding, at this point, that because he was born in Brazil, that he did not need a passport to leave Terceira. That may prove to be untrue, but it’s my co

For Madeira, they would leave from Maderia (Funchal). For Terceira, they'd would probably leave from Terceira (Angra), unless they were in a hurry to get out. Then I guess they could have gone to Sao Miguel (Ponta Delgada) or Faial (Horta). Graciosa's nearest port is also Angra. But if they nee
