I ran across two records from 1909 Norte Grande, Sao Jorge that mention dispensations for first degree (primeira grau) consanguinity! As far as I know they are not in my line--I just thought they were interesting. I'm not looking for a translation but feel free to discuss if you are interested. (I hope my spelling is somewhere near correct...)
Two records state the couple "terem sido dispensados do primeiro grau mixto de segundo de consanguinidade colateral desigual". Record #1 on the left hand page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911_item1/P82.html Record #6 on the right hand page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911_item1/P86.html ------ Another interesting nearby record is the marriage of the brother of the groom in record #1 to another cousin "dispensados do segundo grau attingente a primeira de consanguinidade em linha collateral desigual." Record #9 on the left hand page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911_item1/P89.html ----- As I said, I'm just posting as a matter of interest. I did not know that first degree was allowed. Also among the records is the marriage of a Joao de Mello Pires from Porto Judeu, Terceira, in case anyone is looking for him! Record starts bottom right: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911/SJR-VL-NORTEGRANDE-C-1900-1911_item1/P90.html When I see the record of a marriage or a death of someone from another island I always wonder if someone is looking for them!
