Hi, It is important to follow Cheri's recommendation on how to proceed, but when I took a peak at the records available on line they were a quick find. Links below.
Manuel's birth record go here: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1880-1889/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1880-1889_item1/P87.html There's a side note saying he died in Sao Jose, Ponta Delgada on June 13 1962. Maria da Conceicao go here: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1880-1889/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1880-1889_item1/P186.html Marriages and based on their birth year, they probably married after 1905 in which case you will need an approximate year of marriage to order one from Sao Miguel. One way that helps me get estimated dates is by birth date of their first child which gives us an approximate time frame of 1 to 2 years. You can click on the following link for the marriages but I didn't find them. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-C-1900-1905/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-C-1900-1905_item1/index.html Margaret Vicente On 7/22/12, Cheri Mello <[email protected]> wrote: > Ria, > > As a beginner, you need to follow what's in this how to guide: > http://goo.gl/4SIFu > > You need to find your ancestors on a U.S. Census and then you will know > that they probably married before the birth of their first kid.
