For the batch
, the first entry on the page in an "informacion". This was a proceeding where the groom and bride, and some witnesses, appeared before the priest a few weeks before the wedding and stated their vital data and intention to marry, allowing enough time before the wedding for the banns to be read. Do I index it as a "marriage", or only index the second entry, which was a record of an actual wedding ceremony?First entry dated January 7th (?); of Marcos Antonio, intending to marry Martha Juana.
Second entry dated January 27th, 1698, marriage of Marcos Antonio and Martha Juana. (So it looks like this was actually the same couple; looking at onter images in the batch, it looks like typically the top on the page is the "informacion", and the bottom the "casamiento", for the same couple.)
Also, the right-hand side of that image is a certificate of freedom from impediment related to the marriage on the right-hand side of the following image. Do I index that as well?
