[AZORES-Genealogy] Abreviated surname?

A relative and I are trying to find our 7th great grandfather's casamentos for his first marriage. We believe the one listed below is it, but we are scratching our heads at the surname for his wife. Their names are Francisco Ledo and Maria da Silva, but on the record (top left) it looks like her

Paul, the Priests abbreviated surnames all of the time prior to 1860 or so. It is not unusual at all. The Bride is Maria Vieira not Silva. It looks to me that her father is Pedro and the last name is possibly the abbreviation for Fagundes but his handwriting is so sloppy and fancy with the "F", wh

Groom: Francisco Ledo, widower. So his parents won't be listed. You'll need to find his first marriage. Bride: Isabel Vieira, daughter of Pedro Fagundes? and Isabel Vieira. You are in the time period where they use abbreviations. I'm sure paper and ink were considered a little bit costly back the

Cheri, I think you are right about the groom being a widower. I looked at the abbreviation again and it does look like it ends in an 'o'. The bride is certainly Maria Vieira though. Rosemarie rcap...@gmail.com Researching Sao Jorge, Terceira, Graciosa, Faial and Pico, Azores, Isola delle Femmine,

I don't know why Paul's link doesn't directly go to the CCA. I don't have the controls like I normally do. I have 1 zoom and that's it. My guess of widower is because there's no parents listed. However, the priest didn't list his deceased wife either. Cheri On Sun, May 31, 2015 at 9:23 AM, Rosem
