Eliseu and Angela, Thank you both so much for your replies. It looks like the Morisson family was quite mobile, moving readily among the islands. I'll look up some of those birth and marriage records this evening.
Luis Antonio da Costa Morisson would have been 48 years old when my 4xGGPs married. My 4xGGF was likely somewhere between 23 to 33, and his father was already dead. I can speculate that there might have been a business friendship between them. I found mention of "Morisson & Companhia" in a list of Casas Exportadoras de Fructa em Ponta Delgada published in 1864, fifty years after my ancestors were married. So, at least a faction of the Morisson family was engaged in international mercantile trade to/from the islands-- albeit much later in time. Thanks so much! I'm going to file these bits of information together with that section of the family, and keep my eyes open for more clues. :^D -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
