Hi Ed,
You are not doing badly for a beginner. The date is 4 Jun 1867 the book this is in is "Santa Cruz Marriages 1867" The book is held in the archives in Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel I read Antonio da Costa Medeiros baptized Nossa Senhora da Rosario, Logoa, age 18 Legitimate son of Francisco da Costa Medeiros baptized Nossa Senhora da Rosario, Logoa and Antonia Emelia do Coraco baptized Santa Cruz, Logoa married Rosa Isabel do Carmo baptized Santa Cruz, Logoa, age 20, Legitimate daughter of Antonio Tavares baptized Santa Curz Logoa, and Jacinta Rosa baptized Sao Roque, Rosto do Cao I added the full names of the parish where they were baptized. The marriages for the parents could be in either Santa Cruz or Rosario so you may have to look in both. I would start looking in the mothers parish first in this case Santa Cruz for Antonia Emelia and Sao Roque for Jacinta Rosa.

It sounds like the information you need is the marriage of your great-grandparents Antonio da Costa and Maria Rosa Isabel. If your information is correct about Lagoa then you need to search the marriage records in that location. The two churches are Santa Cruz which is the Matriz or mother church and Nossa Senhora das Necessidades a newer and smaller church. The film from the family history center is Marriages for Santa Cruz #1438008 which has the marriage records from 1555 - 1870. I would start at the very end of the film and work back based on the fact that Jose da Costa was born on 15 Jun 1870. If he was the first child then you should be able to find the marriage record fairly easily. I do not have the information on NS Necessidades so I am not sure what years their records cover perhaps someone else on the list knows but I would look on that film only if I did not find them on the one above. But wait I just remembered Logoa is on the CCA website Check this record out http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/biblioteca_digital/SMLAGSTCC1860-1869/SMLAG STCC1860-1869_item1/P108.html The brides name is off a little but I think it is your great-grandparents. I will let others weigh in on this. The marriage date is 4 Jun 1867.
