Carole M, Mike's question was would a visit to the Azores be recorded in the church records somewhere (or that's how I read it with the typos). Altino was right, the church would not do that. They would only record church events.
What you are speaking of are the margin notes which happened in the Azores as well. One can find a baptism and in the margin it will note that that the person married and to go see record number XXX, or the person died and go see record number YYY. And yes, if the first spouse died, the margin many contain the 2nd marriage as well. IF (and only if) the person notified their church in the Azores would their American or Canadian marriage be recorded in the margin. I've seen very few of these. Very rare, at least in the freguesias I research. But visits back home would not be recorded.
