My gggrandparents didn't make the search for their wedding information easy especially since it's obvious my gggrandparents weren't all that accurate with what year it was when what information the family did have the years of events didn't quite match in most things. Now it's possible because new bedford, dartmouth and fairhaven were all one big city at one time. They got married at St. John the Baptist church in New Bedford, got their marriage license in Fairhaven, lived in South Dartmouth, but I finally have everything in the mail coming to me. I received the marriage certificate from the church and it has their full names and their parents full names, the clerk in Fairhaven read off the information on the license and it said more or less the same thing, but Fairhaven didn't have the application paperwork. But somehow Joan at the New Bedford library had access to that set of papers and it is in the mail to me as of last Thursday. Of course nobody has the same last names, parents to children, husbands to wives, so the search will expand by a couple more layers, I'm hoping that there will be more information with concern to where they are from. my gggrandfather and family clues lead to Faial, and my gggrandmothers family hails from Pico so at least I got a little closer. You guys have been great to me answering all my questions, pointing in new directions where to look.
