These are not my people, but I found this record interesting for Ribeira Quente in 1864: Left page, 12th line down (it's #9, on the page before).
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-RIBEIRAQUENTE-C-1860-1869/SMG-PV-RIBEIRAQUENTE-C-1860-1869_item1/P37.html Bride was the widow of Francisco de Sousa, buried above the sea (I guess means buried at sea), above Cape Verde (altura is height, I see that in the passaportes, but height of Cape Verde makes no sense), on the day and month of April, 1861, ..DIGO coming from Rio de Janeiro.. then I think it says it was verified by witnesses or testimonies. I don't understand. Cape Verde is over there and Rio de Janeiro is that way. What is the priest saying? I think the rest of the record is typical. Just trying to figure out what happened with husband #1. Thanks!
