Portuguese Genealogy Books
Diane Pereira
For example, I have been trying to get this book for months written by Professora Maria Norberta Amorim, but the bookstores where they are available are in Portugal, and they will not ship to the U.S.

Hi Diane,I think it's very expensive to ship to the U.S. If you know anyone going there this summer, maybe they can purchase it for you and once they get back to America, they can ship it to you and you can reimburse them.Cheri Mello

Any recommendations are very appreciated.

I had hoped that the book you wanted could just be downloaded from CITCEM or the Universidade do Minho, but it is not on either list. I don’t know why all of the titles are not there.
I wonder if you contacted someone at CITCEM or at the Repositorium at the Universidade do Minho and asked them if they knew of another link from which the other books in the collection could be downloaded, they might be able to help. The link below is to a page at the University where you can give them feedback, but the page leading to this inform implies that it would be a place to ask for help too.
https://repositorium.uminho.pt/info/feedback
The most complete list of volumes I have found that can be downloaded is at the address below.
If you click on a book title in the list, a page opens up for that book, and there is a link on the left to download the title as a PDF.

I found the book for Santo Amaro at CITCEM a few years ago, but it is gone now. Luckily, it does appear on the Universidade do Minho list at the top.
The Santo Amaro book is wonderful. Dr Amorim even sent someone out with a camera to take pictures of all the houses that still existed. Unfortunately, my grandmother’s house was gone, but her grandfather’s house was shown.
The Santo Amaro book included compiled information from church sacramental books, but also from Róis de Confessados, and from economic records that showed the crops raised and the family income, and from passenger registers.
It mentioned that my great-grandfather was a shore whaler (which I knew, but it was nice to see extra confirmation) as well as a farmer. It also mentioned, which I did not know, that my grandmother’s family was actually living with her maternal grand-uncle and her grandmother in casa #74 on Rua da Igreja, Terra Alta. It also mentioned that the her oldest brother left home at age ten and that another son left for the U.S. but came back a few years later, married a teenage girl, and immediately left again! I didn’t know either of those stories. I do know the rest of the teenage girl story, unfortunately.
I mention all of this just to let you know how valuable these books are on a personal level. I hope other people enjoy them too.
