A relative and I are trying to find our 7th great grandfather's casamentos for his first marriage. We believe the one listed below is it, but we are scratching our heads at the surname for his wife. Their names are Francisco Ledo and Maria da Silva, but on the record (top left) it looks like her surname was abreviated to 'va'. Also, it does not list his parents (that I can see) but lists her as Pedro ? and Izabel 'va'. What would be the reason for abreviating their surnames? http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-ESTRELA-C-1676-1697/SMG-RG-ESTRELA-C-1676-1697_item1/SMG-RG-ESTRELA-C-1676-1697_JPG/SMG-RG-ESTRELA-C-1676-1697_0179.jpg Thanks, Paul G.
