Whoops, did not refer back to the map.

Mary K,
My guess is that the male ancestor did not come from Rio de Janeiro. There
isn't one on Sao Miguel island. Since Ponta Garca has a phoentic spelling
to it on your source, someone took a guess at Rio de Janeiro and since that
is a famous city, that is what they thought they heard.

Hi William,
You know that you are on the Azores genealogy list and that the Azores are
a separate archipelago from Madeira, correct? Although we have a few
researchers here that do research Madeira, you will find most of the
Madeira researchers on the Madeira list.

I usually find many records of children with unknown fathers and single
mothers. Some of these women could be prostitutes, but I've never found this
mentioned in the register.

João, this is an interesting topic. Do you have a qualitative (or
even quantitative) feel for how many illegitimate children were born
in Norte Grande compared to the number of legitimates? I am as

Yes there is a Ribeirinha on Sao Miguel near Ribeira Grande. There is also a
Ribeirinha on the Island of Faial. I am very familiar with the one on Sao
Miguel and have transcribed all the marriages and many of the birth
records.

Interesting thought! My US-based relatives may well have

When I saw Rio Janeira on my grandparent's US marriage record for my
