Hello, all The "missing" marriages book from Corvo, with the records from 1655 to 1671 has been added to the CCA site. I'm so happy for this one, as some of my kids oldest known ancestors are to be found there. The book is here:
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/COR-VC-VILANOVADOCORVO-C-1655-1671/COR-VC-VILANOVADOCORVO-C-1655-1671_item1/index.html These scans are in black and white, which is completely different from the rest of the books, leading me to believe they still haven't found the original 'paper' book, and scanned it from the microfilm. This information is confirmed by their catalog website (http://www.arquivos.azores.gov.pt/details?id=1013385), where it's stated: "The book is missing from the BPARJJG.". Yes, it went missing between the years elapsed since the LDS church first microfilmed them 30 years ago. I still have issues that a book that survived 300 years can go missing like that. I've contacted Francisco Gomes with this info, and asked him if he'd be interested in creating an appendix to his 'Casais das Flores e do Corvo' ebook. If he doesn't, I might be taking a shot at it myself. If you want to help, please reply to this post.
