Thanks, Joanne, for the explanation. I will have to wait to see if I can visit St. John's and ask in person for the information. Living across the country from them makes it a little difficult. Celeste Celeste Perry [email protected]

My sources tell me that particular rectory is a bit of a mess personnel-wise so I’m not sure they’d go the extra mile to look in the files. Parishes need more encouragement like what we’re doing in the Archdiocese of Boston to get them to give us genealogists a good helping hand.

Today I received the letter I wrote to St. Mary's Church in Bristol, RI. Not a response, really, the original paper letter I wrote to them. At the top of the letter I send was written, "Just says "notice sent" Both Parties were born in Azores." Any suggestions that can give me a more accurate location of birth is appreciated.

She won't photocopy or take a picture of the book but will issue a paper certificate. I told her the certificate doesn't have a blank for the freguesia/village that the bride and groom are from. She said to state that in an email to her and she'll add it in. So now I play "wait and see." At least we have confirmation that the books are there as of January 2017.

Carmel for a St. John's marriage record also. I am also going to the NB Vital Records for the papers that were actually filled out by bride and groom to obtain license. I believe they are not easily accessible so I am hoping they will humor me and try to find them. I have them on another couple and they had even more info on them (even though it proved to be incorrect info!!??!!)
