I am stuck with this family line. Can anyone help?

Question

I cannot find credible sources for this family member's parents. Can anyone point me in a direction? My guess is, I just don't know where to look for Portuguese records....

This Portuguese website seems to show Fernando and about 3 siblings.

Answer 1

Funchal, Portugal church records are online at Family Search. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/results?count=20&placeId=132997&query=%2Bplace%3A%22Portugal%2C%20Madeira%2C%20Funchal%22&subjectsOpen=338060-50 Only some of these are viewable from home; for others you need to be at a Family History Center (the ones in the US are still closed due to the pandemic). There are several parishes.
