It's simply stating that on 1924, this person's 'Personal cédula' was issued. I used to have one of those (even though I was born 50 years after). It was a single document that condensed all the vital records in there: birth, marriage, divorce, marriage, etc.. These were issued as ID documents that you could carry around, but usually only needed for important events. I think mine was issued when I registered for primary school.

My ancestor’s husband, Antonio Rodrigues Carapinha, was born there in 1866. There is a note in the margin of the baptism record that seems to say something about the last banknote June 24, 1924. I don’t know what that might mean. I have attached a PDF file that is quite legible. I know this is getting away from the original thread. Sorry….

That's what keeps me going :) Also, the fact that I've been a user of the site myself way before everyone else, so that I know how useful it is to condense those bloody 20+ websites into a single one. Just out of curiosity, was it the town that is now called Montijo (http://tombo.pt/f/mtj02)?

My great grand aunt from Santo Amaro, Pico, married a man from Aldeia Galega, Lisboa, Portugal in 1891 in Santo Amaro. I was able to find his baptism record (using his approximate age from the marriage record) using the search feature on your web page. I got lucky because the age listed in the marriage record turned out to be accurate; so I didn’t have to search all day…. Thank you for the page announcement and for all the research assistance you provide.

For the Azores and Madeira, it's now Region -> Island- > Municipality -> Parish. Joao C.

The objective of this site is to make it (a lot) easier to access the Portuguese parish records. Among other features: - List of new parish books from the previous day. I just enabled it to also search the Azores automatically, so disregard the São Sebastião date. - Simple browsing via District -> Municipality -> Parish. Do note that I'm using the 1911 districts, so the Azores districts are: Angra do Heroísmo, Horta and Ponta Delgada. - Merging the books of different archives into the same parish. Not applicable to those researching in the Azores. But it may be a revelation for those searching in mainland Portugal: some of those 'lost' books are actually in Lisbon. - Search capability (search for the parish, and with a bit of luck the site will list it). The site is still under development, but from now on, it's only new features or cosmetic changes (the site's style is still a bit raw). Happy researching, Joao C.
