Thank you so much for this information. It is a gold mine! I don't speak Portuguese, but find it very easy to decipher. Just want to make sure I am guessing right on this information: Manuel Antonio de Vasconcelos [43 anos, n. Cedros, Santa Cruz das Flores, f.o de Jose Antonio de Vasconcelos, n. Lomba, Lajes das Flores, e de Maria Joaquina, n. Cedros, e ja v. de Maria Jesus Avelar, f. Lomba, Lajes das Flores] c. 1882.10.12 c. Maria de Jesus [44 anos, n. Santa Cruz das Flores, f.a de Joao Furtado Noia e de Maria de Jesus, e ja' v.a de Antonio Jose Ventura]. Does the e ja v mean widower of Maria Jesus Avelar, and the ja' v.a mean widow of Antonio Jose Ventura? Thanks
