I was hoping the records would go back to the early 1600's in hopes of more info regarding my Ursula Pereira from Calheta.
I'm sure they'll be lots of discoveries regardless! ________________________________ From: azores@googlegroups.com <azores@googlegroups.com> on behalf of Rosemarie Capodicci <rcap...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, March 2, 2018 4:47:32 PM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Sao Jorge Dispensation Project I know, Nancy, it's going to be so helpful to so many! I made a mistake in saying which years had the most dispensations. The bulk are pre 1800 but that's even better for us going back. Maybe we will come up with our elusive connection!!

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.

This project will include dispensations from the earliest (1722) with the bulk from the 1800's. The Archive has counted the scans and will include a total of 2080. The total cost will be about $1800 American dollars plus the conversion rate to change into Euros. At present, the Project has collected well over half of that total. These scans, when finished, will be made available free to all! If you have not already contributed to the Project, please feel free to write to saojorgeproj...@gmail.com<mailto:saojorgeproj...@gmail.com> for more info on donating. This will benefit ALL Sao Jorge researchers! If you are not aware of what Dispensation records are, they are records associated with marriages between relatives (cousins, niece and uncle, nephew and aunt etc.). In these instances, dispensation to marry had to be granted by the Bishop. If you are lucky enough to have a dispensation from 1722, it may give you another 2 or 3 generations of grandparents going back to the 1600's! Very valuable documents. Thanks to all of you who have donated already!
