looking for some clear information on my family name Andrade from the island of Santa Maria Azores. If anyone can kindly lead me in the right path for this... I would greatly appreciate it. Google searches seems to be all messed up and everyone has all the same names and records are not consistent.

please help!

Steve A,

Start with this how to guide here: 

Then post back and tell you what you've done.  You need the freguesia to begin researching over there.  Santa Maria has 4 or 5 freguesias (villages), I believe (going off the top of my head here).

Probably 4 for his time period, the fifth - Almagreira, appearing in the very early 1900's.

Steve-  for any realistic help, you'll have to get back to pre-1883, for that is the end date of the Mormon filming, from which most of us work.  That said, the surname Andrade is quite common in Santa Bárbara Parish, so parental information is also necessary.  In genealogy, more information is always helpful.

Hi Denis and Steve,
 
Denis, for some reason I only see part of your message to Steve but no Andrade names or dates.
 
I have some Santa Maria Andrade's behind my great grandmother, Catarina Cabral, born 1852 in Almagreira to Maria Isabel Moreira and Jose Inacio Cabral married Jan. 31, 1849.
 
Behind Jose is:
Valerio Andrade married to Barbara Laurencia.... I have no dates except his daughter married in 1812.
 
Behind Maria Isabel are a couple more:
Matias Andrade married to Francisca Andrade...their daughter married in 1751.
 
In that same generation:
Isabel de Andrade married to Francisco Velho Dias. I have no dates for their daughters marriage.
 
I anxiously await the Santa Maria records.
