Hi, I wasn't trying to make a point about reflecting and respecting the original Portuguese, though I see how my post could easily be taken to mean that-- particularly since I didn't add any helpful notes for context!
I like to work out the translation of a difficult record by transcribing it first. Yesterday morning, I only had enough time to add my transcription to this thread before I had to go out. I must have posted within a few minutes of Cheri's translation, and it looks like Cheri's additions fill in most of the record's missing info. I hope the transcription was helpful in confirming your reading of the record. Best practices for transcriptions are different than for data entry into genealogy software, so it depends on what your goals are, but Cheri makes a good point about using standardized modern spellings when entering names into a database. please don't hesitate to ask if you have any questions! best of luck with your research :) Linda On Saturday, August 5, 2017 at 9:34:58 PM UTC-7, Azores Genealogy group wrote: > > Many thanks to Cheri and Linda for your assistance. > > Linda, my intent is as much as possible to ensure names and place names > are recorded in Portuguese so I record what is shown on the record and then > bracket the correct name for example the word George will appear in the > transcription as "island of São George (Jorge)" Is seems that during one > particular period in the church records for Santa Barbara, Manadas, that > the scribe uses English spelling for some words such as Joseph is being > used instead of José as an example.
