Todd, This is where it gets weird. After my Salt Lake Conference, I have about 8 researchers willing to work on a standardization for us. We are all over the place.
You initially posted with freguesia, island, region, country: Antonio Miguel Furtado Birth 1873 in Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Açores, PT Marriage to Maria do Rosario Luiz: 1896 about Age: 23, Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Açores, PT Maria do Rosario Luiz Birth 1875 in Vila Franca do Campo, São Miguel, Açores, PT ========================== BUT, that freguesia has 2 churches: Sao Miguel Arcanjo and Sao Pedro. Then Shirley codes everything and doesn't use the full church name. I don't know how you would ascertain which church. I'd need to see the record that lists Antonio Miguel Furtado and Maria do Rosaris Luiz. I'm guessing it was someone's baptism. In the meantime, I'll just have to pretend you somehow know the church is Sao Miguel Arcanjo. 1) Go to the CCA: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/ig/ 2) Point the fingertip at the council of Vila Franca and left click once. 3) Next page should have Ilha: Sao Miguel and Concelho: Vila Franco do Campo filled in. If it doesn't, change it. Then from the drop down, chose "Matriz de Sao Miguel" (even though those words never appear anywhere in the church records of Sao Miguel Arcanjo). Click the round "Casamento" button and then finally click Procurar. 4) Scroll down if necessary to where you see the years containing 1896. So that's the 1895-1899 link. Click "Ver" (to see) to see it. 5) You are in luck these are grouped by years. Start at page 1 of 1896 looking for Antonio Miguel Furtado and Maria do Rosario. Good luck!
