@ Dano- as always thank you for your translation. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to do the translations myself. @ JR - thank you for yours too. I will definitely check for errors, but I have read in this group, or the Maderia group, or a different Portuguese genealogy board that in the 1800's people sometimes did not take their fathers lastname. Or they used part of the parish name where they were born/baptised as their lastname. Look at my great grandmother, she did not take her fathers lastname of Duarte. She used her mothers maiden name for her last name. I will check, recheck, and triple check if necessary. Paul G. On Wednesday, February 13, 2013 5:54:51 PM UTC-5, JR wrote:
