Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Priest gave child 2 different names and sexes

Here's what I see... On the 10th of Aug, 1637 baptism of Maria, daughter of Sebastião Ferreira and Catatina Cabral. Godparents are Antonio da Costa, son of Manuel? Ferreira and Agada Ferreira, daughter of Gonçalo Ferreira. Sent from my iPad > On Jan 11, 2017, at 11:43 PM, Maria Lima

Thanks Cheri. I was trying to find an obit for the first Maria. Maybe they had 2 Maria's. Thanks- maybe tomorrow I'll find the answer. Is just too cold to think. (Although I'm not complaining about the Mosteiros records- they're pretty clear.) Maria Elena in Wisconsin > On Jan 11,

That was some bottle of wine. The maternal grands are missing. I'd look for a sibling to figure out the parents and grands. It says the madrinha is the maternal grandmother, but does not name her. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Priest gave child 2 different names and sexes

I would guess Maria (he was looking at the father, Sebastiao, and inadvertently wrote his name in the margin). The only way to be sure is to find either the death or the marriage of this baby. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira

Left page last one down Wow- Priest wrote Sebastiao in the margin for the name but in the body he wrote the name of the child as MARIA!! Help! (There already was an older sister named Maria. ) I'm not sure if I enter this as a female or a male, as Maria or Sebastiao. Grrr. Maybe go by the

Thank you, Joanne for your information and interest. My asking for "margin notes" is from seeing them in the marriage records in the churches in the Azores. I will follow your suggestions and hopefully my last connection for this family will be a positive result. Again, thanks, Celeste

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: My elusive Maria Cristo

Celeste, I work for the Catholic Church and the information you are seeking would probably not be found as a margin note (though stranger things have happened) in the marriage register but will show up in the pre-nuptual paperwork that every couple has to provide before the marriage can take

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: My elusive Maria Cristo

Cheri, On my first visit to Lomba da Santa Barbara, I asked about confession rolls. I was told that they had been destroyed when the new church was built. The site of the old church is some kind of "center." I talked with a lady that took care of the "books" etc. for the church and she

Yes, Cheri, the Maria I thought was my elusive MC, was from Santa Maria. Not her. The church where MC was married is St. Mary's in Bristol, RI. I have a "form" that is filled out by Clyde J. Walsh, Asst. Pastor. It says, "This is to Certify that Filippe Perreira Da Silva and Maria De

Indices in which particular records? The stand alone indices like the ones in Vila Franca and Ponta Garca? The indices in the back of the book like in Ribeira das Tainhas? All three are done differently. Some are chronological by date, some are by name, generally first. The headers at the top of

Julio, What is your evidence that this Maria, born in 1868 is the same Maria that Celeste is looking for in 1884? How do you know that she died in California in 1970? This would make her 102 and Celeste mentioned nothing about that. Thanks, Cheri Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching:
