Hi Lara,
Are these your ancestors?
I first noticed this Rocha family in Flores about 20 years ago while searching for my cousins named Armas.
And thanks to Joao and the reference he gave, you know they came from Terceira.
My Rocha line is also from Terceira.

Lara,This is the extract of that marriage record in the "Casais das Flores e do Corvo":José Inácio da Rocha [n. São Pedro, Angra do Heroísmo, f.º de Manuel de Borba e de Francisca de Jesus] c. 1774.12.29 c. Rita Joaquina de Avelar [f.ª de Caetano Nunes e de Isabel de Avelar].You should definitively buy the book, if you're continuing Rita's line back in time:Rita's parent's marriage is in page 481 of the ebook. It occurred in 1748.01.29.Note that you should still confirm if the actual parish records confirm the ebook extract, but Mr. Francisco Gomes's knowledge of Azorean paleography surpasses that of most people. If you buy the book, you'll get to the 1675 Great Brick Wall of Flores in no time.Best regards,João Ventura

If anyone has a quick moment to help, that would be wonderful.LM
