Nothing yet. What my great-grandparents' marriage registo shows is that my great-grandfather's parents were from Flamengos, and my great-grandmother's father was also from Flamengos though her mother from Praia do Amoxarife. So far, no one from Pico, though I know the Leal name exists there (as well as on Terceira). Next time I'm over there, I'll have to spend a day or two in the archives in Horta, flipping through page after page trying to find records for this earlier generation. I have no idea of their birthdates, so I'll just have to flip, flip, flip until I hit something.
It's fortunate that these old records identify parents and grandparents as well as their parishes. There was a practical reason, of course, in that so many individuals had so few names used over and over and over. Seeing a child's baptism record state the names of both parents and both parents' parents is a big help. Bet no one was thinking of helping genealogists of later centuries!
