Hi Yolanda and thank you so much for translating the record so quickly for me. I noticed several of these types of records all right around the same time to different families. I wonder if there was a reason for more infant stillborns and mortality due to something that was happening on the island that year? It was 1839 and there is a cluster of these "en casa" baptisms. I become curious when I see something out of the norm......I always wonder what it means and why it occurred! Yolanda, what does the word "huma" mean? I appreciate your ability to help....my Portuguese leaves much to be desired! Nancy Jean

(And By his mother side) Manuel Brazil and His wife Isabel Silveira from the freguesia and the Church of our Lady of The rosary of Vila Nova de Topo, Island of saint George. Born in March, and baptized a 4 de April of the year of 1839 (is this right?) in his house by need (because the child was ill, therefore it was needed to be baptized at home for emergency) and because the child died witauth being given The Exorcisms according to the (Episcopal) law of the Pope Paul V." So, I am guessing that the child died, without being baptized, so there is no name in the beginning. The child probably got seriously ill, and the priest was called to give the baptism and give the last sacraments to a child, but died without being christened. Therefore, he coul not proceeds to obey the rules of The church, rules stipulate by The Pope Paul V. I hope I helped. Any more questions, I am here. 2008/10/13 nancy jean baptiste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Greetings Group, I noticed a baptismal record that stands out because of its differences.......could someone clarify it for me? On the CCA site for Sao Jorge for the Topo baptisms.......1828.....page 235....the second one.....what does it say? Near the end of it it looks like the word "exorcismos" in "ritual do paulo"?It stars out differently also.....rather than the name of the child it appears to say "human child"? of the masculine sex.......I'm just not sure what I'm seeing and all help would be appreciated!
