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 & Graciosa
• Horta: consisting of Pico Faial, Flores & Corvo
• Ponta Delgada: consisting of Sao Miguel & 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:
