To those who descend from Manuel Furtado (born c. 1750s probably Sao Miguel Arcanjo in Vila Franca) and Marianna da Trindade (born c. 1750s in São Pedro in Vila Franca)...This couple had a bunch of kids (one baptized at SMA and one baptized at S.Pedro in VFranca, with the rest born in Ponta Garca).
I pulled the dispensations for Sao Miguel island from 1770-1775. Only 3 exist and none are Manuel and Marianna. So I checked to see if any of their kids married cousins so I could pull those dispensations. Not a single kid married a cousin! Where's a cousin when you need one? So I decided to move on to the grandkids of Manuel & Marianna. I don't have ALL the grandkids though. If you are Manuel & Marianna descendant, can you check your database and see what you have on your branch for grandkids or great-grandkids of Manuel & Marianna? If the grandkid or great-grandkid married a cousin, I will pull the dispensation and maybe we can solve the mystery of who Manuel & Marianna's parents are. I don't have the time to research grandkids and great-grandkids all myself to figure out who married a cousin. My time here is tricky between performances and just other stuff that comes up with traveling groups. So the sooner you can check your databases, the sooner I can make plans to pull the dispensations. It may take 2 days for retrieval, so the sooner the better.
