I have been trying to resolve the "mystery" of my cousin's ancestresses maternal ancestry and may have finally found found something to help find the family.
Dona Maria do Sacramento born about 1729 in Sao Mateus per her marriage record to Antonio Lobam Botelho on October 30, 1752 in Luz was the daughter of Joao de Conde and Dona Maria ??? - there is no "second" name given for her mother - I've looked at the record several times to makes rue my eyes are not playing tricks on me to no avail, it's simply not there. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-LUZ-C-1741-1798/GRA-SC-LUZ-C-1741-1798_item1/P41.html Late last night I started going through the Sao Matues baptism's and came across the following record for Manoel: Manoel filho of Joao de Conde da Sylva and Dona Maria (no second name given whatsoever), born December ?? 1729. Padrinhos given as Felipa filha of the family of Manuel Vaz Correa and Lianer Vaz. Am I reading this correctly - mother only given as Dona Maria? If so, I think this is them, at least now I know more information on the father - da Sylva - no just simply de Conde, that may help as well. I think there a reason (of some sort) why there is no second name - a mystery/challenge. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-B-1728-1738/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-B-1728-1738_item1/P34.html Any help with any of the above would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
