Kerry, Sounds like you have enough information to start. Sometimes the stated birth date was their baptism date. Sometimes they were off by a few days. Sometimes they were confused on the year, so look a couple of years ahead or behind the date.
Also, Ribeira Grande has 2 churches. That is, if they are from Ribeira Grande proper. They could be saying Ribeira Grande here, but really be from a smaller freguesia. If I was from Honey Creek, Nebraska, I'd probably just say Omaha, because people outside of NE would have heard of Omaha more so than Honey Creek. You can verify the freguesia by finding your people on the Passaportes outbound from the Azores on the CCA.
