Help Needed - Birth cert./Passport - Maria Trindade da Matta - Ilha São Miguel, Azores
Hi all,
I reached a dead end after weeks trying to find information about my Great Grandmother Maria Trindade da Matta (maiden name) in Azores. I am looking for any additional information about her, like birth certificate or passport. All I know is:
- Place of Birth: Ilha São Miguel, Azores, Portugal
- Birth: about 1879
- Immigration: Around 1895 , in a steam ship from Portugal to Brazil, probably Rio de Janeiro's port, according family reports.
- Married 1897 in Santana do Deserto, Minas Gerais, Brasil
- Death: 24 OCT 1942, São Manuel (now Eugenópolis), Minas Gerais, Brasil
- Parents: Herculano da Matta and Mariana da Conceição . They probably went with her to Brasil.
You can find her family search entry in this link, with attached sources I found.
I tried to find records in some immigration websites in Brazil (SIAN, APM, Museu da Imigração de SP) but I didn't suceed. Also couldn't find any information in tombo.pt and in Registos Paroquiais dos Azores (http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/ig/registos/), although I think it is possible that there are something there.
Any help or tips in this research will be immensely appreciated.
Many thanks!

Further to what has already been proffered ...
As an aside ...
Question: Have you tired the 'FamilySearch' "Wiki"?
Here are are are a couple of specific articles, in the 'FamilySearch' "Wiki", relating to the Azores:
Azores, Portugal Genealogy
https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Azores,_Portugal_Genealogy
Portugal, Azores, Catholic Church Records - FamilySearch Historical Records
I hope, that this may also help/assist, somewhat.
