That is wonderful news. Thanks for sharing that with us Rose.

I am hoping someone can help me locate dispensations for the year 1742. That is obviously a year that does not appear to be in any particular film but could be in a number of films that appear to be amalgams of various periods...

The dispensation I am looking for is:

En ocho días del mes de enero de mil setecientos y cuarenta y dos en esta parroquia e iglesia casé y velé a Manuel de Santa María Covarrubias, hijo legítimo de Mathias Covarrubias y de Petra Saldaña, españoles vecinos de esta jurisdicción en el rincón de Totatiche con Petra de la Cruz Grano, hija legítima de Joseph Grano y de Efigenia Covarrubias españoles vecinos de dicho rincón a quienes el Señor ??? Vicario General de este obispado les concedió el beneficio de dispenza de parentesco de consangüinidad en tercer grado. Fueron padrinos Juan Antonio Ríos y Theresa Covarrubias.

great news!!!!, I have severall dispensations so I guess I´ll try

Thank you!
