By my personal experience I researched Proclamas back home at the Casa do Paçal, in Calheta, where all the Proclamas from the entire district were kept.I dont know about Vila Franca but I would assume in the Municipal Library like Eliseu mentioned, or even maybe at the Priest oficial church house in Matriz of Vila Franca?

Try to find out where are the documentation of the PROCLAMAS for that time period of missing marriages. If you can find where these documents are there is a possibility of recovering the marriages info. In Ribeira Grande the documents of the PROCLAMAS are searchable at the Municipal Library... I will try to ask ... No promisses though! Most of the times people from outside get more then we locals do!

I have it written down somewhere, but I haven't unpacked that box since my move last summer. Shirley Allegre knows. Shirley do you remember which years are missing from Sao Pedro in Vila Franca? When Shirley and I went to the archive, we asked to see the book. We looked to see if any pages were loose, or the loose ones were bound in that back after they fell out. No such luck. The probably fell out in the 1800s and were lost and then the book was rebound in the 1900s. Shirley and I (and a couple of other list members) are stuck because our ancestors married in Sao Pedro in the late 1770s. Argh!
