Do you also know if all the requests for dispensation were approved, and if no, not why? Thanks celso-doing research on Anacleto's and Mato's from San Jorge -----Original Message----- From: Emacadi <emac...@aol.com> To: azores <azores@googlegroups.com> Sent: Thu, Mar 10, 2011 4:35 pm Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] Marriage and the degree of consanguinity MARRIAGE AND THE DEGREE OF CONSANGUINITY Mention is made in the record if a dispensation was need for marriage. Dispensations were needed for blood relationships back to the 4th (quatro) degree (3rd cousins). The record reads that a dispensation was granted because the bride and groom were related to the 2nd (segundo) degree. Sometimes they were related 2nd (segundo) and 3rd (terceiro) degrees. The relationship is easy to spot because of three words . “Dispensados” and “ consanguinadade” which is similiar to the English, “consanguinity” and meaning of the same blood; descended from the same ancestor. The third word is “ grau”, meaning degree. Following are some examples: “Forão despensados no quatro grau de consanguinadade” “Forão dispensados em segundo grau da parentes e de consanguíneo” The blood relationship is as follows: 1. Primeiro grau (1st degree) is brother and sister. This will never be seen. 2. Segundo grau (2nd degree) is first cousin. 3. Terceiro grau (3rd degree) is second cousin 4 Quatro grau (4th degree) is third cousin. Knowing the blood relationship can sometimes lead to the finding of a missing ancestor. It can also give a clue as to where to look for other ancestors. In a message dated 3/10/2011 3:24:33 P.M.
