Six of my ancestors were buried inside the church (late 1700s early 1800s). Probably more...those are the obits that I have.
I had visited that church when I traveled to the Azores. But at that time I did not know my people had been buried inside the church! I don't know if those had been dug up or if the remains are still there. I understand that practice was outlawed.
