Hi Mike B, You posted a marriage. Besides the hooks on the "g" and other dangling letters, what do you need help with? The format? The names? The dates?
A "how to" guide can be found on the Azores GenWeb. It has a list of keywords, what to expect for each of the 3 time periods, and then a record with its complete translation: https://goo.gl/ie5McX Many of the translators are burned out. Some were taken advantage of. In order to get the best service, pick whatever you can (no matter how small) out of the document and ask if you are right and for help with the rest. As time goes on, you'll be translating for the newcomers! The groom's parents are about 3 lines from the bottom on the first page and the bride's parents begin at the end of the 3rd line of page 2. Names are usually the first thing people get. They are usually capitalized. The months aren't too bad either (they are not always capitalized) but they look similar to our months. The numbers are the hardest and take some practice. They usually come last. If doing it yourself is not for you, researchers for hire can be found here: https://goo.gl/nDfVUx Just give it a try. See if you can get any name in the areas I pointed out and someone will guide you from there :) Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Sun, Jan 6, 2019 at 8:05 AM Mike B <botil...@gmail.com> wrote: > Could anyone help me with translating some baptismal records and marriage > records I found or point me to someone who does it? > > > http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-RG-ESTRELA-C-1870-1879/SMG-RG-ESTRELA-C-1870-1879_item1/P156.html > > This is one, no.35 for Manoel Botelho. > > Thank you in advance. > > Just a background as well since I might be posting here more frequently, > I’ve traced my family name, Botelho, to Ribiera Grande, Sao Miguel, to > about 1850ish so far.
