Richard, this is something that the Sao Jorge Facebook page has undertaken. It would be a great thing for the other Islands to try also but who knows! *Just email to the email addy given* and they will give you the info regarding how to donate. I can hardly wait as the chances of finding a Dispensation are greatly increased by the number of 'cousins' you have marrying each other! This is especially helpful if you are at the end of the Churhc Records of Baptism/Marriage/Deaths and have no other resource to extend your lines.
