I found a marriage this morning that I've been trying to find for about three years. An Urzelina, Sao Jorge baptism from 1852 said they married on Sao Miguel Island but didn't name a freguesia. I found it in Sao Sebastiao, Ponta Delgada.

I now know that they married in July 1849 in Ponta Delgada (Sao Sebastiao); had a son Manuel born five months later in Praia, Graciosa; and a son born in Urzelina, Sao Jorge in 1852 (who died after four months) and another (my wife's great grandfather) in Urzelina in 1854. There is text beginning on line 5 and continuing on the next page that I think is saying that a ruling was made that nothing resulted in impediments and this document was deposited in the archive of this matrix but I'm not sure I fully get it. Is there anything of importance here? Thanks for any help. Bill Seidler -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
