Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Godparents
Thanks all. Either the priest misspelled doutor or he was saying the child had the same name as the father. It was the title of the godmother that made me lean to the father having the title "Doutor". Because the names of Marques and Marquita sounded similar (to me), i wondered if there was some relationship between the family and the godparents. António José Marques and Francisca Candida had FOURTEEN CHILDREN! This is the most I've found in all my research. Can you imagine how many descendants they have all over the world!

Has Rick says, it is "Doctor". They misspelled it. Instead of "Doutor" they wrote "Doutro". And their last name is "Mesquita". The portuguese word for Mosque and a common surname.

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.
