Portugal Emigration and Immigration

Portugal Emigration and Immigration

Portugal Passenger Lists
From around 1836-1976 the Azores was split into three districts:


 * Angra do Heroismo: consisting of Terceira, Sao Jorge &amp; Graciosa
 * Horta: consisting of Pico Faial, Flores &amp; Corvo
 * Ponta Delgada: consisting of Sao Miguel &amp; Santa Maria

It is my understanding that for this time period all passports on the Azores were issued through one of these three districts. The Government of the Azores has a digital collection consisting of passports issued at Ponta Delgada on this web site:
