Do you have Maria Santa's husband's name? The groom on this record is 50 years old, single, Manuel Jacinto Miguel.

RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Borba Family Tree
Hello Adair, How exciting! I can't wait to see your new information. Yes, I'm on Ancestry if you want to send me that invite. My Matos line is from San Jorge, but don't show any connection (YET!) of my Borba line being there, but you never know. My Bettencourt line also had connections in Sao Jorge and then Terceria too!... but then Graciosa prior as well from what my Mother has. So, you never know. Haven't had the time to devote to researching the Borba line lately. Last I remember, my 2nd Great Grandfather was one of 12 children. I've made one connection on this group with one of his sibling lines and that's it so far. Two down and ten more to go!

Thank you for offering to help. The info I have is from USA documents. My paternal Great- Grandfather's name is Jose Faustina/o Moraes, b. abt. 1856 in Velas, Sao Jorge. The only firm dates I have for him are his marriage (30 Dec 1880) and his death (31 Jan 1922) here in the USA. I believe his parents names are Antonio F. Moraes and Maria Rita. I don't have dates for them. Dates for him and his parents would be most appreciated. My maternal Great-Grandmother's name was Maria Santa de Jesus. She was born abt. 1853 in Velas (I think in the village of Rosaes), and was also married there abt. 1878-1879. If you can find her father's name for me, it would help.

Ginger, You should be able find the actual date of your Grandfather's birth/ baptism as recorded on the parish or civil register. Most Portuguese parish and civil registry records were microfilmed by LDS for the period you mention.
