I have a bit of a Terceira history/geography question that is driving me crazy. Francisco Machado Barcellos was baptized about 1872 at "Se' d'Angra" according to his marriage certificate in 1896 when he was then residing in Sao Bartolomeu (natural baptizado na freguesia da Se' d'Angra concelho Diocese dita, morador na freguesia de Sao Bartolomeu dos Rigatos do dita concelho Diocese). On the CCA site, they have data for Se' but only to about 1800, nothing later. Before I go renting lots of film, I guess what I am wondering is where do I look for Francisco's baptismal record, Santa Luzia, Se Cathedral, Nossa Senora de Conceicao, or all of them, even including the other two churches in Angra do Heroismo? Does "Se'" in 1896 refer to a specific church, as opposed to present day, so they didn't need to elaborate?
I also got the dreaded "sendo o nubente filho de pais nao sabidos" concerning Francisco's parents on his marriage record, although one (but not others) of his son's baptismal record listed his grandmother as "Aldina Teodora", so I have a clue, but I really need to look in the right place given his common name, methinks.
