I need to access Portugese army records
MY husbands grandfather was born in Portugal ( around 1883) but the only information we have is on his English wedding certificate. It states he was a lieutenant in the Portugese Royal Army.
I can't find any information on this army anywhere and wondered if anyone had any ideas on how to find/access this information.
Many thanks

Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Further to, the Page, in the 'FamilySearch' "Research Wiki', that 'Lilian' has so kindly already proffered ...
Not that I can provide much help/assistance ...
But ...
That Said ...
As an aside ...
Can I humbly suggest, that you consider, REPOSTING, this post of yours, in one or more of the 'Groups', in the "Groups" Section; where, the members of those 'Groups', may be able to help/assist you; and, of course, are only too will to do so.
Please be advised, that you will need to "Join" a 'Group' to post in a 'Group'.
Despite any perceived language barriers, you can post in English; and/or, use the likes of 'Google' "Translate"; plus, responses can often be in either, Portuguese; and/or, English.
I often use both, English; and, the native Language, when I post - I use the likes of 'Google' "Translate".
[ ie. Initially Post in English; &, then straight under, I post in the native Language ... seems to work just fine ... ]
The particular 'Groups' that I would recommend would be:
