Thanks JR, I have seen many references to Divino Espirito Santo of Maia in the baptismal records. I will try to find the Maia records through FamilySearch. I have not delved into that form of research yet, still working the free CCA website.

You will see the many references to Furnas, and sometimes it is noted right in the margin of a record. If you can't find a record, check also Lomba da Maia (had its own church circa 1812 or so) and the three churches linked to Ribeira Grande. You will also see many references to Fenais da Ajuda and Ponta Garca.

I am looking for marriage records prior to 1825. On the CCA website, baptisms start in 1757, marriages in 1825 and obits in 1812. Did marriages and obits get recorded in another freguesia before those years? Or are they simply not available on the CCA website? If that is the case, are they available through the Family History Library? Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge!
