If you read all the posts where people ask for translation help, whether it's your island & freguesia or not, you will develop more of a sense for things. I was stuck on yours being a "D" when it was a "V." After Margaret pointed out Violante, I went back and looked at it. So next time I'll know

[AZORES-Genealogy] Help with word in baptismal record

Left page, 2nd record, 8th line, first word. I am unfamiliar with this word. Is it a title? or part of his name? Looks like *Capilhão* *http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-ARRIFES-B-1890-1899/SMG-PD-ARRIFES-B-1890-1899_item1/P525.html

I see it now. I wanted to make the first letter a "D" and it kinda looked like "Deo" but Deolinda wasn't fitting with the rest of the word. Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Fri, Jan 27, 2017

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Help with Father's Name (Santo Espirito, Santa Maria)

Lordello is a noble name. In the early days the King sent many nobles to help settle the islands. Many of the St Maria names are from mainland nobles. It appears many went to St Maria first then to Sao Miguel and other places, such as Terceira, which is the administrative centre for the

It appears to be the name or surname Lordello. I read on a google search that the surname is concentrated in Brazil with few people having this surname around the world. I read that about 2426 people were found to bear the surname Lordello. Maybe you know this about the surname but I thought
