The name Antonio sometimes is pronounced as Antone. Some men go by Antonio, some go by Tony. It's personal preference. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged

Bill, you got it right. That's how it was written unfortunately. You will have to find other children's records to see if one of them will state which parish they belonged to in S. Miguel. On Sun, Feb 22, 2015 at 2:51 PM, wrote: > I'm now having trouble with my wife's great-grandfather's bapt

I'm now having trouble with my wife's great-grandfather's baptism. It seems to say they married (recebidos) on the island of S. Miguel without naming a parish (not very helpful), but then places this parish (from São Jorge) on S. Miguel island also. João, filho de Francisco José Cordeiro e de
