I would like to remind everyone that while you are looking up your family records on CCA site, I do have a reward out for baptism records for several of my VICTOR family members. The ones I am specifically interested in are Isabelle Victor b. bet. 1881-1885 $50 reward, she is my great grandmother, $25 reward each for her siblings Belmira Victor b. bet. 1885-1887, and Paulo Victor (he went by the surname Sylvia in the US for some unknown reason) b. abt. 1874 some of their US records say born in Terceira but thus far we have not found them there. I actually do not know what island they were born on. They were circus people and moved around a great deal. If you come upon any of the other kids, I probably have them but pass the name along and if I do not have them I will pay $25 each for them also. So far there are 10 children in this family and I have 7 of the baptism records, there could be more children I do not know about as Joao V. just found another for me a few months ago. The parents of these children clearly listed in all 7 baptism records are Antonio Victor and Ramona Augusta. Antonio Victor jumped the fence a couple of times and had 2 illegitimate children, maybe more who knows, and I have the baptism record for one of them but not the other and her family says she was adopted at birth. I believe she, another Maria, was born after 1889 and her mother might have died at childbirth. Since the Victor surname is not too familiar in the Azores I thought if you should see it while you are researching your family members could you please let me know? Both Victor parents are deceased by 1892. If you see any death records for the mother, Romana Augusta or any of her children, I do not have any of their death records. I have the father's, Antonio Victor) death record. This family did not go to the Azores until ca 1865-70 from mainland Portugal. The first child I have born there was a daughter born in 1870 in Terceira.
One of the things on my bucket list before life passes me by is to keep a promise I made to my mother and find her mother's baptism record. Thank you.
