It depends. Ernesto do Canto made partial indices for select freguesias and select events on Sao Miguel. A few marriages from Sao Miguel have been published in the Insulana books. I've typed up a marriage index for Achada from the beginning to 1723 or so. Carlos Machado also did a lot for Sao Miguel. I know there's something called Fenix Angranese (sp) for Terceira.
So no, there really is no silver platter with all the marriages of all the Azores to hand out to people. Every once in a while, there will be something, and the rest of the time, we will have to slough through it. Blood, sweat, and tears, the old fashioned way!
