ABOUT THE INDEX:

The São Jorge Death Index was created to aid genealogists researching their lineage on the island. The project began early in 2018 and is close to completion.

While indexing, entries that could not be confirmed by the indexers were flagged and provided to a group of native Azoreans, and experienced genealogists who graciously served as our editors. Every effort was made to accurately transcribe the names, and in many cases it was necessary to cross-reference marriages, baptisms, or consult microfilm copies of the records.

Due to the fact that the Portuguese alphabet has evolved greatly over the last few centuries, the spelling of both given and surnames have been altered over time. Therefore, the names in this index have been standardized with modern spellings for ease of use. The data in the index is arranged by freguesia, beginning alphabetically with Calheta, and ending with Velas. Within the freguesia, the entries are organized by the order in which they appear in the book. This may occasionally differ from the chronological order of the records. The data is arranged in columns beginning with the name of the groom, the name of the bride, and the date of the marriage. The ‘series’ column refers to the church book or record range to which the provided image number corresponds on the CCA website

To report an improperly transcribed entry, please feel free to fill out the Report a Correction to The Sao Jorge Index form as many times as you like (one time for each entry in question). To request an XLS copy of the index, send us feedback, to otherwise contribute to the integrity of the index, or to submit any other questions, please contact Jeremy Berry-Cahn, project coordinator via email at jeremy@saojorgegenealogy.org. This project was made possible by: Louie Avila, Jeremy Berry-Cahn, Rosemarie Capodicci, Charlene Sandlin, Suzanne Brill, Angela Cardoso Reis, Mary Bordi, Margaret Vicente, Maria Soares, Garrad Marsh, Nancy Jean Batista, Marie Volbeda, Margaret Oliveira, Mike Souza, Deborah Stephens, and Karin Berry.
