My great grandfather, whose baptism certificate some people here helped to translate (thanks so much!!), was born in 1845 and moved to Brazil in 1858 (jan, 2nd at the Novo Rival ship). By this time he was 12 years old. The story according to some of my family members is that the 12 year old boy came alone to Brazil. The passport shows the age of 12 but it was issue with his father's name (Antonio Martins d'Azara). Has anyone seen this happening before? I am wondering if that used to happen if the person was under 18...
This is the link for his passport: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PASSAPORTES-TER-1857-1863/PASSAPORTES-TER-1857-1863_item1/P16.html We still have the original passport in hands and it shows exactly the same info as the one in this book at the link. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
