Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Marriage record help

Just adding a small remark to Margaret's explanation. In current Portuguese for "to get maried" one can use "casar" or more formally "contrair matrimónio". "contraente" has the same root as "contrair". Cheers Gonçalo On Wed, Feb 28, 2018 at 5:45 PM, Margaret Vicente
