Flores Couples Book + Photo Search

[Stacy Evans]

Hi everyone—I’m new to the group. My great grandmother was Portuguese (maiden name Serpas)—her parents Manuel Caetano Serpa & Maria da Gloria Silva (Williams) migrated to Northern California in the 1880s/90s. I have two questions:

1) Is there any place you would recommend for finding old photos? I’ve seen a handful of my great grandmother as an elderly woman, but none of her young and none of her parents. I have no family contacts whatsoever. My grandmother only had one cousin on that side and she was 20 years younger so I don’t think they ever knew each other especially since she moved across the country with her husband and of course this was before the internet made it easy to keep in touch.

2) As an alternative to the Genealogias das Ilha Flores (which is out of print and I can’t find it), I’d like to get a copy of the couples (ie marriages) book and I heard a rumor that there’s an ebook that can be purchased but I didn’t see it on Amazon-anyone know where I can get that? Also can someone who owns that tell me—does it include the parents of the bride and groom? Is there an index with all the names? I have a lot of daughters with no last names on my tree—the struggle is real! Thanks in advance for any leads.

Yes the book includes the parents of the bride and groom.

There is a Serpa-Andrews tree on Ancestry by someone named Stacy that seems to share this ancestry; is that you?

Here is a link to the marriage cited in that tree https://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FLR-SC-CEDROS-C-1840-1869/FLR-SC-CEDROS-C-1840-1869_item1/index.html?page=17 (Center Left)

I hope this helps
