Hello,
I have really been having some difficulty in finding some marriage records in
the Santo António além Capelas freguesia on the island of São Miguel, and also
the Lagoa area. From what I have seen so far in the Santo António freguesia,
the priest(s) was/were not always consistent with the names they used to
document the parishoners. I don't know if this means that in fact the
parishoners had long names, and that when they stated them to the priest, the
priest only wrote down some of them, or if the parishoners sometimes just gave
the priest portions of their names.
The road blocks that I have hit in getting this section of my tree higher:
1. I cannot find the marriage record for the parents of Francisco de Medeiros
Maura. In the birth records of some of Francisco's children I have seen his
name documented sometimes as Francisco de Medeiros Maura, and sometimes
Francisco de Medeiros Pimentel. The names of his parents (the grandparents)
have stayed constant in those records that I have found, and their names are
António de Medeiros Maura and Joanna Maria, António is a natural of Santo
António and Joanna Maria is a natural of Lagoa (Nossa Senhora do Rosario), but
I have not been able to find their marriage record. I have checked Santo
António, but have not found it there. I have also checked Nossa Senhora do
Rosario, Lagoa, but did not find it there either. It's possible that I could
have missed it, or that Joanna Maria's parents moved to a different freguesia
after her birth, and that they were then married in that new freguesia.

I believe their son Francisco was born 1 August 1789, so their marriage would
have happened before that date. I found 2 siblings born AFTER that date in
Santo António: João in 1793, and Margarida in 1794, but no one before 1789, so
perhaps his parents lived in a different freguesia before moving to Santo
António?
2. I am also having difficulty finding the marriage record for Francisco de
Viveiros do Rego and Joanna de Medeiros. They are both naturals of the Santo
António além Capelas freguesia, so I believe the marriage should have taken
place there. I estimate the marriage to have taken place around the year 1767.
I have seen the name of Francisco de Viveiros do Rego documented sometimes as
Francisco de Viveiros, and sometimes as Francisco de Medeiros do Rego, I am not
sure if this was a mistake or not since his wife Joanna has the surname de
Medeiros.He was born 9 February 1748.
Joanna de Medeiros was born 20 January 1749.
Is anyone else researching these two families, or does someone happen to have
an index with this information in it? I would be very appreciative of any
help.Thank you very much and kind regards,Lisa
