Hi group! For this marriage of Joaquim Machado de Lemos and Maria da Luz. It states that the bride's profession was that of a "mestra of children or just girls" I can't tell if it's an "as" or "os" for menin_ _.
Does anyone have any knowledge about professions in the 1800's? How much schooling would have been acquired at that time to be a mestra? I'm assuming mestra means teacher. This is the first profession I have found for a bride, other than "domestica" or "costureira" so I am quite intrigued. Thank you, Jessica http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-TERRACHA-C-1870-1879/TER-AH-TERRACHA-C-1870-1879_item1/P77.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
