Hi

My great grand parents were married in Rio de janerio brazil.  They are originally from Santa miguel lomba.  How do I find out this information and there marriage certificate.  Is there a way to find out if my grandmother ever went to brazil also.

Hi Suzanne,

Genealogy needs 3 things: A name, dates, and places. I see no name or dates above. As for "Santa Miguel Lomba," no such place exists in the Azores. Maybe you can look at your notes or the source of "Santa Miguel Lomba" and post again.
Thanks,

Hi Suzanne, 
Your last post referred to a Maria da Conceição of Santa Barbara in the council of Ribeira Grande on São Miguel island. Santa Barbara has been digitized and uploaded up to the year 1905. You can see those records here: https://tombo.pt/f/rbg12

For Maria's marriage that occurred after 1911 (21 Oct 1912), you need to write to the Civil Registry of Ribeira Grande. 
Right now, I'm getting that blocked page thing that happens with the Azores government website from time to time. Hopefully it will clear up and you can email them.
