Hi Jackie,
That's an interesting story......sad, but interesting.... so 3rd grandmother.....about what year was she born? I'm just curious because it seems odd to me that I've never seen these kinds of records before and I've read so many Sao Jorge records.....the only other one that ever alluded to such was from 1872 in Rosais that said the child was from the "crime" of incest. Other than that they are all so similar regarding the births to single mothers. Regards, Nancy From: ja...@cdmmarketing.com To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] odd records Date: Wed, 31 Mar 2010 10:24:56 -0700 I have never actually seen a record like that but it doesn't surprise me that they would identify if it that way. My 3rd great grandmother according to family history was never allowed to actually marry my 3rd great grandfather because she was the result of a rape. Her mother ended up in the Azores due to a shipwreck and she was raped by one of the sailors. The catholic church labeled her (the baby) as "unclean" and would not allow the marriage. So they just lived together for 60 years and had 9 children. I've wondered how they would label her birth.

One of them says the birth is to a solteria and in parentheses it says (vulgar assault), the other says the woman was married but the child was due to adultery. I had often wondered if some of those "roda" babies were due to assault by pirates but the records never indicated it so since this one did I guess they do put it on the records. Has anyone ever seen other records in Sao Jorge such as these? Regards, Nancy Jean The New Busy is not the old busy. Search, chat and e-mail from your inbox.
