Terceira



Terceira has the largest population of the islands in the central group. It is 29 km in length and 17.5 km wide.It is often called the "Lilac Isle" for the distinctive coloring of its sunsets. 

Listed here by Freguesia, which is the village or town, are the names of the Churches and the years for which the LDS Church has microfilmed their records. Those films are available at your local Family History Center or the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah. 

Also, Azorean Church records are digitized and available online. 

The easiest way to navigate to where the records are on the Centro De Conhecimento Dos Azores (CCA) site, is via the portal site, Tombo. The link for Tombo is listed below with the appropriate Freguesia.
