Thank you John, I will have a copy in about a week. I lent my copy to a cousin that lives in another state and she will be down and return. Yes it is so sad that these documents were lost. I lost you when you said they were closely related. Are you referring to Miguel and Isabel? Either way I would not be so surprised My grandfather married his niece. My aunt used to say when I was very little "I'm surprised no one was born with 2 heads and my dad would shoot her a look that would melt ice. He finally explained to me when I was around 12 or so. After studying history in catholic school I realized that was their own demented way to keep the line pure. Yeah right. Thank you again John, and I would like to join the club although not on very much. When I was abt 10 we went to a home in the south bay where my dad dropped about 30 boxes of grapes. They were for him to make wine. We sat had bread cheese and Madeira wine. Just do not remember his name. Margie In a message dated 6/11/2010 12:02:32 P.M.

Margie, In the Flores marriages book (do you have a copy?) the date of that marriage is listed as 9 Jan 1678. His parents are listed as Miguel de Fraga and Isabel Rodrigues. Unfortunately, that's about as far back as records go on Flores. Since they were both from Santa Cruz, Flores, I would bet that they were closely related although we may never be able to document it. Sorry I can't be of further help on that score. It's the ultimate frustration for Flores researchers. John -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
