RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help reading a name

Hi Sheri,

I didn't notice if anyone told you that the child you found is not Regina. It's Angelina.

Knowing that, do you think this is your ancestor?

Or are you looking for a Regina in this same family?

Do you know they came from Conceicao, Angra?

My grandfather was born in Conceicao back in 1889, I think. His name was Manuel Joaquim Leal da Rocha Homem (changed to Manuel Rocha Holmes).

If Angelina is your ancestor, then we are very distantly related. I think the most recent connection is from the late 1500s. I have traced her ancestors way back.

I need help reading a name from a birth record which I have attached.  It is #5 which begins at the bottom left hand side of the page and continues at the top right.  The name of the child is Regina.

The name of the father is Francisco______________ (I cannot read what comes after his name)

The name of the mother is Maria da Gloria

I can't make out the name of the Godparents either.

I think I have been able to pick out that Francisco is from the Village of Praia on the Island of Graciosa, that his mother is named Maria Espirito Santo.

The parents of Maria da Gloria are Manuel Machado and Maria Isabela.

Thank you in advance for help in reading this document.
