I didn't see anything to indicate where the parents were from, but, early records left out a lot of things we take for granted. What would be the main concern for the church would be whether the parties to the event were Catholic, had received the sacraments, and, in the case of marriages, that they were not currently married to another person. If birthplaces aren't mentioned it is because, in all probability, all participants were known to be members of the parish where the event was being celebrated. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Monday, March 26, 2012 4:36:51 AM UTC-4, Pam Santos wrote:
