[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: 3X great grandfather's baptismo record - Antonio de Mello
Hello Paul, There is no grandparents listed, the birth date is April 21, 1805, and baptized on April 28th. But, the godparent is Tomas de Mello, son of Francisco de Mello JaPateiro (excuse me if I got the extra surname wrong, I'm sure you know the correct spelling) and Margarida da Silva. I can tell you the grandparents are not listed but maybe another lister can better translate the document for you. Because the related surnames of the parents of Antonio and the godparent and his family, I think it's safe to say they're related. Something to look into. here is the direct link to the baptism record http://goo.gl/oIAke6 On Wednesday, March 19, 2014 11:29:49 PM UTC-7, Paul wrote: The link below is for my GGG grandfather Antonio de Mello's baptismo record (lower right corner). I believe the year is somewhere between 1805 1810, probably closer to 1808 since that was the last year noted at the top of one page. Father - Manoel de Mello, mother - Maria da Silva. Since the record is at the bottom the writing gets scrunched and I was unable to figure out if his grandparents were listed. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1793-1818/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1793-1818_item1/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1793-1818_JPG/SMG-PV-AGUARETORTA-B-1793-1818_0085.jpg Thanks for any help.

That guy really liked to make sure that he reached the top of the line with his tall letters! Godfather: Tomas de Mello, son of the family of Francisco de Mello, cobbler (shoemaker - sapateiro) - spelling - the place of Faial (they mean Faial da Terra; if it was Faial island, it would say ilha de Faial) and of Margarida da Silva.

Thank you Aaron and Cheri. @Cheri, I agree he wanted people to notice his handwriting. Paul G.
