Good news and bad news. Good: Looks like there are more dispensations in the early 1800s than the 1700s. Gaps still exist though.
Bad: Ok, the one grandkid that JR gave me has no dispensation because there's a gap of missing records. I can go back to the archive on Tuesday, but I need more of you to check your genealogy programs for Manuel Furtado & Marianna da Trindade.
