Francisco, That makes sense. Thanks so much for bothering to educate me! 😊
Angela, thank you as well! 😊 Sam (Mazatlán, MX) From: Genealogia sem segredos Sent: Friday, March 22, 2019 4:36 PM To: azores@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Official Alfaiate (Official Tailor)? In several craft jobs (tailors, masons, wood carvers, etc) workers had 3 categories: aprendiz (aprentice), oficial, and mestre (master). That's the explanation for "official de alfaiate": he was not an aprentice, nor a master yet.
