Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] People with Faial ancestry
Hi Bella, Glad to see you on the list. Using Gedmatch we learned we are 7th cousins through our Cedros & Capelo, Faial ancestors.

For over 12 years, I searched for this baby boy named Manuel, per my mother. I still remember the large framed picture on the wall of this baby surrounded with roses. I was told he had passed away before he was a year old. My grandparents, Thomas Pereira Jorge de Escobar Maria Conceicao Avila, were married in New Bedford in 1898. They appeared on the 1900 RI census as Thomas Mary Perry. No children. But today, thanks to Ancestry, I found Manuel P George b. June 7, 1899 in Fairhaven, MA. That's their first born. All the details match. Still haven't been able to find a death record in MA or RI for baby Manuel. Years ago I phoned all the town vital statistic offices in MA RI but never found the birth death record of this child. No death records appeared online either. Sometimes people we contact do the best they can but don't search adequately enough... so persistence pays off. This family of mine has used the surnames, George, Jorge, Perry, Perry Jorge Pereira. As we all know, this is what makes our Portuguese research so challenging. Ancestry is free till tomorrow for their New England Collections.

My Great-Grandfather was Joseph Machado Avila, and I have his birth location as Sao Jorge, Azores. I understand he went by the Machado last name when he decided to locate permanently to the United States. My Mother’s cousin advised me he changed his name to Avila after establishing himself in business with a gentleman who must have carried the Machado last name. Initially, the family went by the spelling “Avilla”. His mother’s name as I understand it was Francisca de Avila. My Great Grandfather’s death certificate lists the name of his father as Joseph M. Avila, and his mother’s maiden name is noted as Anna Francis. For a long time, I understood his name to be Joseph Machado. My Great Aunt Ann Avila completed the death certificate record. He was born December 25, 1850. He died March 9, 1924 in Newman, California. He had thirteen children: Nine boys and four girls. One boy passed away in infancy, William. The last son was named William Joseph, but the other seven boys carried the middle name Machado; Daniel, Anthony, Joseph, Manuel, Frank, John, and George.

She lived near New Port, RI and in her later years wintered in Florida where here daughters and son live. Rose married a man named Woodson. My uncle's other brother Antonio came to the US in the 60's as an older man to be with his daughters. His daughter Rose had come to the US in the 50's with her husband, Antonio Souza and two sons and they lived in California near us. His daughter Maria came when he did and she never married. Antonio came first to the East and then came to California. Another brother, Joao was a half brother. My Uncle Joe sent for Joao's two sons, Manuel and Frank during the time of the volcano in the late 50's. Their sister Maria came to the US later with her husband and two children and eventually Joao and his wife Maria also came to the US and lived here in Ca near us. I am very close to this family and am in contact with them regularly. We consider ourselves related even though we are not blood related. My Uncle Jose Furtado Dutra had two cousins, Jose Garcia and Joao Da Rosa (later americanized to Rose). I have early pictures of them together, but I am not sure if the pictures where taken here or in the Azores. They may have even come to the US together. There was also a Moitoso family that would visit us the were related to my Uncle Joe. I don't remember the husband's name, but the wife was Maria, of course and sons were Frank and Manuel.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Translation Help
Hi Cousin Jacki, According to my Cedros, Faial file you do have the names correct Antonio Francisco de Medeiros's birthdate is also correct. I do not have the actual record but the Faial researcher that did the village of Cedros, Faial also had a note posted regarding Jose Francisco Alcaide who was born in Vila da Madalena, Pico. The alcunha, Alcaide translates as mayor. Here is the note in Portuguese: NOTA: O sobrenome ou alcunha Alcaide surge no registo de nascimento (baptismo) do neto Salvador, filho de pai incógnito e de sua filha Inácia Luísa. Recebeu todos os divinos sacramentos e foi sepultado no corpo da igreja(sic), junto à grade, em frente do Bom Jesus, na Igreja Paroquial de Santa Barbara. O padre não diz se o finado teve ou não acompanhamento. Faleceu com 65 anos de idade pouco mais ou menos, segundo diz o padre. Here is the google translation: a bit wild but good :) NOTE: The name or nickname Mayor appears on the birth registration (Baptism) Salvador's grandson, son of father Incognito and his daughter Inacia Louise. Received all the divine sacraments and was buried in the body of church (sic) next to the grid in front of Bom Jesus, in the Parish Church Santa Barbara. The priest does not say whether the deceased or had not followed up. He died at age 65, more or less, he says the priest. Antonio Francisco de Medeiros is my 2nd cousin, 4x's removed Hope this helps a bit. Pat At 10:59 PM 3/30/2011, you wrote: Can someone look at this and tell me if I have the right record? It should be the baptismal record for Antonio Francisco de Medeiros born 10 Aug 1829 and baptized on 13 Aug 1829. His parents were Jose Francisco de Medeiros and Marianna Benarda. His grandparents were Vincente Jose de Medeiros and Maria Silveira and Jose Francisco Alcaide and Catarina Inacia. He was born in Cedros on the island of Faial. I think I am reading the names and dates correctly but I am not very good at it yet. Any and all translation will be greatly appreciated.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Someone Found Me
Dear Ally, What a heartwarming story! I loved reading it!! Pat Las Vegas, NV Researching in Faial Pico At 08:14 PM 10/30/2010, you wrote: Just wanted to share a hit with all of you. My Mother got a letter with an early 1900's picture of a family with 11 children ( my Mother gave me the same picture years ago). The letter was from a gentleman in Elk Grove, CA who received the letter from a woman in TX doing family research on relatives who moved to CA in the 1920's. This man, who also has done research on his family with the same surname, knew this wasn't his family. He went on to trace down my Mother and sent the letter and picture on to her with a note I think this belongs to you. My Mother is now in her 80's and how he located her since her name has changed more than twice is in itself a story of a dedicated good Samaritan researcher. My Mother phoned Joyce (76), in TX. They shared stories and my Mother told her how interested I am in genealogy, that I have been trying to do research and that I had hit a wall and couldn't go any further than my Grt. Grandfather. They all just disappeared. As it turns out, my newfound cousin, Joyce, has been doing research for the passed 30 some years. Her and another cousin would take one or two week vacations and go back in history to where ever they needed to go. They researched, and documented every town record, bible, storyteller, library, school record, deeds, wills and compiled a book beginning in 1702 forward. Our family was the missing link to one of the 11 children in the picture. I was so happy to send her all the info and docs that I have collected to complete her work. Even more. It seems that one of the 11 children's wife, didn't like the her inlaws and when Grt. Grandma died, this she set fire and was burning all the family pictures and china when the other family members drove up to the old home after the funeral. I sent Joyce what few family pictures I had. Joyce sent copies on to her cousins (e-mail is so great). She wrote back and shared that all the cousins haven't come down to earth yet as they are so thrilled with pictures that they thought were lost forever. Four of the pictures that I sent were of Joyce's Father that she had never seen before.

[AZORES-Genealogy] RE: family search, record search pilot
Thank you Judi Phillips for your post about the record search pilot on www.familysearch.org Although I have used their PAF program for 10 years, I haven't visited their site in quite some time. I wasn't aware of all their new features information available online. Your post prompted me to look once again for my elusive great aunt, Maria Rosa Jorge. She has been my brick wall for over 8 years. Although I have her Cedros, Faial birth record and passport record from 1893, I could never find a trace of her in this country. A distant cousin told me she had married young. Another aunt told me she came to her brothers funeral in RI, in1950. No one seemed to know much about her. She would have been 68yrs old then. Well, lo behold, yesterday, while checking out that feature, family search pilot, I found a 1900 Fairhaven, MA death record for Maria P George. The parents are correct birth date is just a year off. She was only 19 yrs old when she died. (actually 18 according to her birth record) This sounds like her. Waiting to hear back from the New Bedford library for more details. I don't have Ancestry to check for more details. Keeping my fingers crossed as I have done countless searches for this one great aunt hoping to find new cousins, but because of misinformation I was searching in the wrong time frame.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Maria Rosa Jorge, Cedros, Faial
Thank you John, for trying to be helpful by listing my ancestors from the Neps site. Maria Rosa, listed on the site, daughter of Thomas Pereira Jorge de Escobar Maria Clara do Coracao de Jesus is actually, Maria Adelaide b. 1876 that married Jose Furtado Dutra. I provided this information to the researcher it was entered incorrectly on the Neps site. Maria b. 1882 is actually Maria Rosa. I am searching for her descendents in the US. Unfortunately, without her married name this is difficult. She immigrated in 1893 at 11yrs of age with her 17yr old sister Maria Adelaide. Her older sister died in 1895 and by 1900, a census year, she may have been married. Thanks again.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Maria Rosa Jorge, Cedros, Faial
To all my Azores friends, Maria Rosa Jorge has been my brick wall for 8 years. I try to post this on the list twice a year in hopes of a miracle. :) My Great Aunt, Maria Rosa Jorge, daughter of Thomas Pereira Jorge de Escobar Maria Clara do Coracao de Jesus (also Maria Rosa on some records) has been my brick wall for 8 years. I'm trying to locate her descendants. All the above were from Cedros, Faial. Maria Rosa Jorge was born 3-28-1882 in Cedros, Faial, Azores. She immigrated in 1893 at 11yrs of age with sister, Maria Adelaide Jorge, 17yrs old, to RI. I have copies of this from the Passport book in Horta. Her older sister, Maria Adelaide, married Jose Furtado Dutra, also from Cedros, in Providence, RI. Maria Adelaide died less than two years later in Jamestown, RI. Maria Rosa was only 13yrs old when her sister died in 1895 in RI. No one in the family knows who she lived with or had any contact with her for years. She was alive in 1950 at 68yrs of age. She surprisingly appeared at her brothers funeral (Thomas Perry) in Jamestown, RI. I do not have her married name but was told by a new found cousin on this list that she married young. This family had lived in New Bedford, MA RI so I have been searching both areas. I have searched census records, family obituaries, a few cemeteries ship lists for clues. Have not located her on any of these except for the passenger list of the SS Vega ship that she her sister came over on in 1893. She could have used the name Perry. Maria Rosa Perry or Maria Jorge (Maria Clara) or another variation. The double surnames are challenging to work with. My goal is to find her U.S. marriage or death record. I currently have her birth record and all other family members birth, marriage death records. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd sure appreciate them. Thanks for reading this. ~Patricia~ P.S. grandparents of Maria Rosa Jorge are: Antonio Pereira Jorge de Escobar Aurelia Rita Bernarda de Escobar of Cedros, Faial. Antonio Silveira Meirinho Maria Rosa of Cedros, Faial -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Genealogy - Pimentel/Pementel from St. Michaels
Hi Again Donna, So glad you are looking for your ancestors. All of these names you mentioned are people I knew on the island. (Jamestown, RI) I am excited that you are doing the research. I told Jim Pemantell (this is how Jim spells his name) that this list would be so helpful to him if he ever wanted to research his Sao Miguel ancestors as there seems to be more info here on Sao Miguel than any other island. How wonderful that you have taken on the task! As far as I know I have no connections to Sao Miguel but this list will certainly be able to help you. They are a wonderful group of people and so willing to share records and information.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Azores Genealogy - Dutra in Faial
Hello Donna, I have your families ancestry. The Furtado Dutras from Cedros, Faial are cousins of mine. Medeos, Faial? Could this possibly be Cedros, Faial? I grew up in Jamestown, RI and my great Aunt, Maria Adelaide Jorge b.1876 came from Cedros, Faial. She came to RI to marry your ggrandfather's brother, Jose Furtado Dutra in 1893. Unfortunately, Maria Adelaide died less than 2 years later in Jamestown, RI at 19yrs of age of typhoid fever. Your great uncle, Jose Furtado Dutra, didn't marry again till 5-6 years later to another Maria. Their descendants still live in Jamestown. We may have met in the past? Your great grandfather, Francisco, did pass away in Cedros, Faial, May 21, 1926. Unfortunately, in my file I only have one child listed for your great grandparents, Francisco Furtado Dutra Maria Rosade ( Maria do Rosario Conceicao) and that is Antonio, born Nov 9, 1900. I did not have your grandfather, Manuel's birthdate. I will send more information to you.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: New Bedford, MA 1961 yearbook
Hello Listers, A new friend of mine, not Portuguese, graduated from New Bedford, Ma High School in 1961. There were over 600 students more than half were of Portuguese descent. Yesterday, I had the time of my life looking through his yearbook at all the faces names of the graduates. He couldn't understand why I was so fascinated with his yearbookeven after I explained to him my passion for my Portuguese genealogy research. Of course my Azores google friends can relate to this! I'm sure that I looked upon a few distant cousins that I haven't found the connection to yet as New Bedford is where my Pico Faial grandparents were married lived for several years. If anyone on the list thinks they may have a connection or a clue that could be found in this 1961 New Bedford high school yearbook, please let me know. I would be happy to search through it for you.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Brick wall ancestors, Maria Rosa Jorge
Maria Rosa Jorge is my brick wall. I try to post this on the list twice a year in hopes of a miracle. :) My Great Aunt, Maria Rosa Jorge, daughter of Thomas Pereira Jorge de Escobar Maria Clara/Maria Rosa has been my brick wall for 8 years. I'm trying to locate U.S. descendants. All the above were from Cedros, Faial. Maria Rosa Jorge was born 3-28-1882 in Cedros, Faial, Azores. She immigrated in 1893 at 11yrs of age with sister, Maria Adelaide Jorge, 17yrs old, to RI. I have copies of this from the Passport book in Horta. Her older sister, Maria Adelaide, married Jose Furtado Dutra, also from Cedros, in Providence, RI in 1893. Maria Adelaide died less than two years later in Jamestown, RI. Maria Rosa was only 13yrs old when her sister died in 1895. No one in the family knows who she lived with or had any contact with her for years. She was alive in 1950 at 68yrs of age. She surprisingly appeared at her brothers funeral in Jamestown, RI. I do not have her married name but was told she married young. This family lived in New Bedford, MA RI so I have been searching both areas. I have searched census records, obituaries, a few cemeteries ship lists for clues. Have not located her on any of these except for the passenger list of the SS Vega ship that she her sister came over on in 1893. Have also searched several RI New Bedford area churches for marriage records. She could have used the name Perry. Maria Rosa Perry or Maria Jorge, Maria Clara or another variation. The double surnames are challenging to work with. My goal is to find her marriage or death record. I currently have her Cedros, Faial birth record and all other family members birth, marriage death records. If anyone has any other suggestions, I'd sure appreciate them. Thanks for reading this. ~Patricia~ Las Vegas, NV At 09:13 AM 8/25/2009, you wrote: As Celeste Perry has recently posted about a brick wall ancestor, I thought I'd mention this topic. Post about your brick wall ancestor even if you posted about them 6 months ago. Or a year ago. I think a couple of you have it written on your calendar about posting about yours, because I see them every so often. New things come out now with so much digitizing. I think we mention the CCA site at least monthly because of new members and because people who are stuck at a brick wall may not initially realize that some sources are worth searching. Some queries do fall flat on their initial request. It takes some time to figure out how to write a query to a list (any list, not just this one) and get a response. A query of Looking for Manuel de Mello, someone help me will not get much of a response. Listing your ancestors dates (birth, marriage, death or any timeline dates that you have (e.g. he lived in New Bedford during the 1910s), who he was married to, kids, and places you have found him is much more helpful and is more likely to get people to answer you back. Brick wall ancestors (and for many of us, it's the immigrant ancestor) are hard to research. You'll have to try one suggestion at a time. I mentioned in a previous post that it took me 4 years and 25 documents for me to figure out my brick wall/immigrant ancestor. I think that with all the stuff coming on the Internet now, it would be more like 2 weeks to find him. Pretty amazing how much this hobby has progressed since I started in 1992.

Hi Ben, Or perhaps I should say hello cousin! Sebastio Jorge born in Lomba, Flores is my 6th ggrandfather. I will send my Cedros line to your email address so we can see how we connect. John Vasconcelos, a great contributor to the list very knowledgeable about the island of Flores gave this information in a previous email that I saved: Regarding Flores research: I think probably the most unfortunate island for researchers, myself included And he went on to list the villages the dates that records were available as follows: Caveira...Records for baptism begin 1834 and marriages 1833. Cedros...Baptisms begin 1799, marriages 1840 Faja Grande...Baptisms 1861, marriages 1860 Fajazinha...Baptisms and marriages begin 1702. LajedoBaptisms begin 1826, marriages 1860. Lajes...Baptisms begin 1757, marriages 1763. Lomba...Baptisms begin 1844, marriages 1860. Mosteiro...Baptisms and marriages begin 1851. Two of the best parishes Ponta Delgada...Baptisms and marriages begin 1675. Santa Cruz...Baptisms begin 1681, marriages 1675. John also stated that Lomba, Flores was one of the oldest original parishes on the island many of their records were missing, lost or??? A big challenge for many of us with Lomba, Flores ancestors.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Ribeirinha has been added to Faial Database - NEPS Databases
Thanks so much Dee!!! I'm entering new data into my Cedros, Faial file. I found this discrepancy hope SOMEONE can clarify it. Cedros, Faial file states: Ana Maria b. 8 August 1715, Cedros, Faial The Ribeirinha, Faial site states she was born same date but in Salao, Faial Her parents are the same in both files but different birth locations. Cedros, Faial file states: Manuel Alvernas b. Pedro Miguel (no dates) Maria de Mendonca b, Cedros, Faial ( no dates) Cedros file has further ancestry Ribeirinha ends with Manuel Alvernas Maria de Mendonca, no further ancestors. Some of these are ancestors so I hope someone has an answer. Thanks... Patricia At 02:36 AM 1/25/2009, you wrote: Ribeirinha was added to the Faial Database on January 22.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Communicating with family for information
Hi Michelle, Pray about it. Keep it simple send them what lines you have that would help them. Turn it over to the man upstairs you never know what good will come from it from whom. I believe that in sharing you will receive something in return. And it may not even be from them. Just my opinion thoughts on this...and from my own experience. I wish you the best! Patricia At 11:00 AM 1/19/2009, you wrote: Have been at a brick wall for a while trying to get more information on Joseph Vera Perry Emily B. Perry of Oakland, CA. Joseph was married two times and from his second marriage had two daughters, Patricia Marie. Just recently found out that one of the daughters (Patricia) passed away in 2003 regret her husband (Pat) in 2004 but the other daughter (Marie) is still alive (88 years old) living in the same area (Oakland). Through the internet managed to find a nephew niece of the Patricia Pat. Contacted them have been communicating with them for the last two weeks. Was told that Patricia Pat did not have any children but Marie did have a daughter named Patricia aka/PJ. This is the situation...PJ is apparently hesitant to share any info. Her aunt (father's side) passed away in Sept so don't know if she thinks I'm a relative coming out of the woodwork wanting something from the estate or what. I've relayed to them that my only interest is information and pictures. One response that was relayed to me was She has requested that her mom not be contacted as she is now 88 and a bit frail her initial thought was you have the wrong family. But, she wants to check thoroughly and then she'll give you a call. No call yet. This morning I received another email from the niece updating me and this is what she said I have found pictures of Paul and Pat, but I want to hear back from Patricia first before I send anything your way, I hope you will understand (PJ requested this of me). I did find that Aunt Pat went by the name of Patricia Vera Perry. I hope that Patricia (PJ) will get back to you soon. With that said along with other information I have I am now 100% sure I have the right family. Thankfully, I did get a picture of Patricia Pat before PJ put a stop on getting anything else. Both nephew niece have been very nice and seemly willing to help until they involved PJ. The niece was the executor to Pat's estate and she said she has a box of Paul's things which she has now looked through and does have information that I need. What I am hoping for is some help in how to respond to the email to get her PJ to share info pictures. My cousin and I have already had the pleasure of being sworn yelled at by another relative (from the first marriage) and told to never call again. I don't want to make any mistakes with this family because they are our last hope as far as pictures are concerned and of course breaking down the wall we've been at for so long. The niece is also working on their genealogy (part time) and has run into a brick wall with Pat's side of the family. In two weeks I've been able to go back 200+ years and find a lot of information that I'm sure they would love to have. I also found a tree that Paul was working on but I don't think the niece is aware of it. Regret his last entry was in the mid 90's so anyone living at the time is hidden and I can't gain access to it. Can I, should I use this as leverage with the niece and if so what would be the best way to go about it if PJ decides she doesn't want to share? Just simply letting her know I've traced back that far might be enough??? Should I provide them with as much information I have on the Vera/Perry family or just a little or to make them feel more comfortable about sharing more? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Sorry this was so long. I tried cutting it down as much as I could but needed to explain the situation somewhat for a better understanding of the situation.

I have over 6000 names on my data base with none born oct 23 1877. I have used the data base from the Azores which you mentioned extensively. I also belong to a online group which deals mainly with the Azores. The group address is mailto:Azores@googlegroups.comazo...@googlegroups.com. You can ask them to be included and that's all it takes. Send me your phone number so I can talk to you Al Sequeira In a message dated 1/13/2009 5:47:34 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, maryanne_r...@msn.com writes: Hello, Old immigrant communities. San Juan Bautista? My name is Mary Anne Rose and I have been doing genealogical research on my da Rosa family since perhaps 2003, my cousin David Wilson (b. 1940) got involved when he was in sixth grade and interviewed my grandfather about his family, cousins, etc which is hugely helpful. David's mother visited the Azores long before we did in 2005, finding our great grandparents marriage certificate in the Archives in Horal, Faial. But I am more creative at internet research than he. . . so I was able to build upon their research in different ways. And thus I am contacting you. You have a Joseph da Roza born 23 Oct 1877 San Juan Bautista, San Benito, CA Bottom line, our grandfather Anthony Lawrence Rose (christened Hollister CA in April 15, 1883) was of Azorean descent. His godmother was Hyacintha Serpa, according to the priest, which my research leads to connections to your family. i.e. Jacinta jessy de Serpa. My grandfather's sister Minnie married Joseph Elmer Serpa (November 1874 - 1938), they had a son Elmer - who was my dad's first cousin and I remember visiting cousin Elmer and his sons in Willow Glen area of san jose, CA. Minnie and Joe Serpa are buried in St. Mary's Cemetery in Gilroy. My great grandmother Rosa Gomes da Conceicao born in Cedros, Faial, lived with them after her husband died in 1913 and she died about 1934. Her brother was Joseph Gomes who married Rosa da Conceicao (Garcia da Rosa) and they lived with their large family near Hollister. You have them listed in the tree notes somewhere as well. In any case, it was a very small Azorean community in San Juan bautista and Hollister in San Juan Bautista. I have not been able to make a connection with the other da Rosa family from the area, but if they came at the same time as my great grandfather Manuel Francisco da Rosa, I am sure they must be cousins, etc. My aunt told me he left Faial about 1864 on a whaling ship and returned to Faial in 1975 to marry his sweetheart in the village. I believe they came from Cascalho, Cedros in Faial. My research at the Archives in Horta bore out much of the family history. On line there is much more available, though I believe there to be transcription errors in this: If the link does not work you can connect to the site through azores genweb, which is where I found this. Took my family back 24 generations. http://sarmento.eng.uminho.pt/cgi-bin/geneweb?b=CEDROS;lang=enhttp://sarmento.eng.uminho.pt/cgi-bin/geneweb?b=CEDROS;lang=en So I will not write more until I find that you are still interested in this research, or that this email still is valid. I live in Manhattan in New York, so I am on the East Coast. My California research has involved my visits home. And then to Faial.

Hi Nancy, Found a website for St Lawrence Catholic church in New Bedford, Ma with beautiful photos. They even have one of Father Sullivan. Thought you might be interested. Here is the link: http://www.saintlawrencemartyr.com/gallery/pages/photo1.htm Still looking for my elusive great Aunt's marriage record, Maria Rosa Jorge. Have searched every church in New Bedford for the past 7 years except this one. Looks like I can email them. Thanks for the tip.

The priest, Father Sullivan answered the phone and after explaining everything he told me he'd look it up right then and call me back! So.he just called...found the record and he said that that far back 1866 they didn't put down all the info like they began doing later. It had my ggrandparents names but not their parents or villages. Anyway, he's sending me a copy of it and suggested I get a copy from the state. The civil record that I found on NEGHS was how I found the date of the marraige and the fact that Josephs father was Antone Pereira and his mother Zabina de Jesus.I can't quite read the mothers name of Rosa Luiza.it looks like Hannah which doesn't seem Portuguese but it does say she's from Pico which is what the family says.the priest said her last name could be Luza.my family says either Gracia or Furtado..I just don't know! I'm putting my check in tomorrows mail and appreciate the gracious help they gave me so much! Thanks for the nudge!

It will say that the bride married the groom by the priest on this date and the witnesses were. If you want to know if the village was recorded in the marriage book, you could ask if that information was noted in the marriage book and if so, you need to ask for a xerox copy from the book and if that is not possible, a typed transcription that also includes any margin notes. Tell them that you are sending a donation to the church and then do it (it helps the rest of us genealogists).
