Cindy, The records for Vila Franca are not online. Manoel and Maria's marriage seems ok. Rosalina's name on the record is Franco, it should be Branco. The dates are 26 Nov 1902. Maria' mother's name looks like Francisca? Sometimes the marriage records don't give the village of the parents, but on the bottom of this one, the witness is Joao Franco, proprietor, natural of Pedreira do Nordeste. Pedreira is a small village in Nordeste. The church in Pedreira was not built until 1889. Before then, all the records said Igreja de Sao Jorge, Matriz (mother church). I will be at the FHC on Saturday. If you can make it, I will show you the connection. Judi
