Portugal Passenger Lists[edit | edit source]
From around 1836-1976 the Azores, a Portuguese controlled island of the coast of Africa, 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:
