Does anyone know if they kept Military Records for individuals during the early 1700's? For instance, they must have documented when an individual achieved the title of Alferes or Capitao and listed some personal info about the person. Maybe the Angra archives or library would have something..
I ask this because I have not been able to find out any more info about who the parents or siblings might be of my ancestor who was a Capitao in Luz, Graciosa in the early 1700's. I cannot find his baptismal or marriage record, so this would be a long shot.. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.
