Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Godparents
One good thing about having the same godparents I was researching Sao Miguel Arcanjo (Matriz) in Vila Franca do Campo on Sao Miguel for a Manuel Somebody and Maria de Jesus. And wouldn't you know, there was another couple named Manuel Somebody and Maria de Jesus (my genealogy program is not up at the moment, so I can't remember Manuel's surname). I knew I had 2 different couples with the same name because I was finding baptisms only a few months apart. So I had to collect them all. One Manuel & Maria had the same godparents on their kids. The other had 2 or 3 different couples. So I created a family group based on the godparents. I really don't know if I'm 100% correct. I guess when I meet St. Peter at the Pearly White Gates I will ask for Manuel and Maria and I'll ask them if I was right!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Godparents
I don't think it is so uncommon for there to be one set of godparents for all the children. Since this was often not only a religious custom, it also provided an indication of who would get custody of the children in the event of the parent's death. Also, ala "The Godfather" in some instances it was a status issue to have a Padrinho who was "connected" or had money.
