Hello everyone,

I'm researching a line in Fenais da Luz. The marriage records there stop (or start, depending on how you look at it) in 1687. Did people marry in a different parish before that year?

(I'm researching a line "do Rego Baldaia" from Fenais da Luz)

Cheers
Gonçalo

I went to Tombo.pt to look at all records held by the CCA for Fenais da Luz.

Baptisms start in 1672.
Marriages start in 1687.
Obitos start in 1698.

Fairly close together in time, although I would surmise there's a missing book or two.

Tombo.pt also provides the Wikipedia link so you can check out the history of Fenais da Luz. Also, Tombo.pt says something about Rabo de Peixe. That freguesia does go back further although they a missing a lot of early marriages.
Good luck, Cheri

I have encountered Rego Baldaia in Riberia Grande (NS Estrella) and the records go back much further. There was a thread on this list in Jul 2017 Subject [AZORES-Genealogy] Rego Baldaias of Lagoa . I saved the thread and have it in my documents as my 9th GGF in in my line, this line is also in Genealogies of Rodrigo Rodrigues

If you cant locate the thread in the list archives PM me and I will send you what I copied.

Hi there,

I have the Rego/Baldaia’s in my lineage from fenais da luz. 

You may be interested in knowing that this line goes back to Gonçalo Baldaia an explorer to Africa. 

It’s a very interesting line!

Thank you everyone.

I am very interested to know how you researched these lines in Fenais da Luz before 1687.

Dear Richard,

My (provisional) end of the line is an André do Rego Baldaia married 10.feb.1702 in Fenais da Luz, son of António de Oliveira and Maria Baldaia.
Have you encountered these people? Do you have information on how to go back more on the patrilineal line?

Cheers
Gonçalo
