OK.....so this is where my message belonged....and it does have the book as subject....IDK what happened when I replied from my iphone while in the car as it was supposed to go here...so here it goes again.....
I think, I hope many will be interested in these books. Years ago when I went to Croatia I found out many years ago, a young man on the island wrote notes about the people living on Italian/Croatian island my family came from. My Archbishop cousin had them reprinted into 5 very heavy books. The cost was $200. One of the best $200 I ever spent for my genealogy. I bought them whilst there and carried them home in my luggage (before weight was an issue, thank God) and also carried them all over Europe for the rest of my trip. To my knowledge, these books were never reprinted. I cannot read, write, speak Italian, Croatian or Portuguese for that matter......but I have this family back to the 1503!!
To this day I still reference my books.
Do not pass the offer up for these books if you have an interest in this area of the Azores.
