I am looking for a birth record of my Great Grandmother Maria Jesus Medeiros from the island of Sao Miguel, probably Ribiera Grande, Lomba da Maia. Her headstone says she was born 25 Dec 1894 (and relatives confirm her birth day was on Christmas).

I found a birth record, but believe it is not the correct one. If I can attach it here, perhaps someone could translate enough to confirm it is not the correct Maria. THEN...if you have any more ideas of how to find her birth record I would be most appreciative (I am just starting my research in Portugal and am so excited about it!)

Do you have a US record that says she was born in Lomba da Maia?

Thank you so much! This was VERY helpful! I am finding more! Seems all from Lomba da Maia. I have tried for weeks to reply to your helpful response but have not had any luck until this moment. If you feel safe about it, would you want to email me at my private email at shepntammibailey@yahoo.com?
