I'm in Firefox. I left click the link and it takes me to the CCA - usually. When some people post links though, it doesn't take me to the CCA. I'm guessing because you are right clicking the image to get the URL it's not the same as going to the address bar and copying the full URL. Maybe Joao Ven

If you are using Google Chrome you can increase the zoom by clicking the box with the three lines to the right of the address bar, then click the + sign in zoom to increase. For explorer I believe you have to right click the image, click zoom then click the zoom amount you want. Paul G. On Su

Would using Google Chrome vs. Explorer have something to do with it? In Google I right click the image copy the URL and paste, that one you only get 1 zoom. Where as in Esplorer I right click on the image>properties> copy the URL and paste. Here is the same link using Explorer *http://culturaco

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

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 picked up on the abbreviations quickly and been using some of the resources you've listed before to figure them out. Where it lists Francisco Ledo, de brides name it looks like Ma to me which I thought was Maria. Paul G. On Sunday, May 31, 2015 at 12:01:05 PM UTC-4, Cheri Mello wrote: > G

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

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

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
