Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Baptismal Record, Nossa Senhora do Amparo, Algarvia, Sao Miguel
Thanks Cheri, I did as you suggested and looked for siblings. As it turns out, it appears that Manuel b. 1852 was the youngest child in the family. He had an older brother, Manuel b. 1842, plus two sisters named Rosa and brothers Antonio and Francisco. Now I'll have to look in Obitos for the first time. The oldest child was Maria b. 1838. Their mother's full name was Maria Rosa de Medeiros. Fortunately the maternal grandparents were listed in all the other baptisms: Antonio Francisco da Costa and Rosa Maria de Medeiros. It appears that this is the case where the mother's surname was chosen. Now I need to translate all these other baptisms. Wish me luck!

I can't find them. Why would this be? Yes, the names of the maternal grandparents are missing. Maybe the priest had too much vinho. :) 2. Were the godparents literal children or were they merely unmarried and their parents names used to identify them? They could be children or they could be unmarried. You'd have to research that family to figure it out. I'd collect all the siblings of Manuel. You'll see if the mom's name flips back and forth (Maria Rosa, Maria de Medeiros, Maria Rosa de Medeiros). And one of the siblings will have the maternal grands.

Patricia S, Good luck! By searching all the siblings, you got the mother's full name, increased your reading ability, and found out that priests sometimes have too much vinho at a baptism!
