Joao, Thanks for the explanation. I didn't realize that it could take up to 4 years! Wow. I should have thought about that though because my 4th graunt, Bernarda Rosa and her husband Domingos Antonio Sousa had two children in 1792 & 1796 before they actually married in 1798 Norte Grande. That one took 6 years and they were only 2nd grau!
