I am trying to determine the parish of baptism for Maria dos Anjos. According to the passport application and passenger manifest from the family's emigration to Hawaii, she was born in 1838 or 1839. The baptismal records for all six of her children (that I have found so far) have "incognito" for the maternal grandparents. The link below is for her oldest child (that I know of), Maria. It is from Livramento. The other 5 children and her husband, Joaquim Garrancho Botelho, were all baptized in Sao Roque. I have searched in Sao Roque, Sao Pedro, and Livramento for her baptismal record and their marriage record. Her husband was born in 1839. I have been looking from 1850 to 1863 in all these parishes for the marriage record. This baptismal record says "Fille legitimate". I assumed that meant they were married when she was baptised. Or can it mean something else? If anyone can help decipher the phrases after Maria dos Anjos' name, that might tell me where she is from, I would greatly appreciate it.
My Maria is entry #34 at this link. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-LIVRAMENTO-B-186 0-1869/SMG-PD-LIVRAMENTO-B-1860-1869_item1/P100.html Thank you all for the help you have already been. If anyone ever gets a branch of their family tree in Norway or Sweden, let me know. I can repay the help with those parish records J Erica -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
