Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Matriz are now noted on the Azores GenWeb

Each council (county) has one Matriz or Mother Church. Some large concelhos (councils) have 2 (that's only on Sao Miguel island though). Santa Maria = 1 Sao Miguel = 8 Terceira = 2 (sorta - one is really the Cathedral or the Diocese seat) Graciosa = 1 Sao Jorge = 2 Pico = 3 Faial = 1 Flores = 2

Perhaps you are right. But it is strange that in Emilia's baptism of 1873 the priest says Antonio da Silva parents are also Incognitos and that Helena Rosa is viuva. But if she was married to Antonio Silva who died in 1874 after Emilia was born, why would priest say she is viuva in the 1873

JR, I am treading lightly on this one. I have Antonio da Silva Canario born sometime before 1809 marring Francisca de Jesus. I have found five children born between 1837 and 1849 Francisca died before 18 Oct 1854 when he married Helena de Jesus (Helena Rosa). They have three children born

Not sure about anything. There may be two women named Helena, [Helena Rosa and Helena Candida de Jesus] married to two Antonio da Silva Canario's. Or they are the same people. I am sure Richard has more information he can glean from the baptisms to connect all these people. Baptism of Emilia

You've sent the same link twice. In the baptism, the priest does not write his "d" with the stick up. He writes it like the "d" has had too much vinho and it's falling down. It looks like a "p." At the end of line 9 he says: filha legitima pigo (digo) 10) filha natural de Antonio da Silva

João Ventura, archivist, told us that many of the expostos were baptized at the various Matriz'. Bretanha belongs to Ponta Delgada and the Matriz in Ponta Delgada is São Sebastião. That's on the other side of the island. I do see Ribeira Grande mentioned in your document. That's on the north coast

I see. If you have gone through the records, she may have been born in another village. However, be on guard for any child given to the said parents in the specified 2 year period, in case there was a name change. After that I would look in Ponta Delgada. But you may be disappointed. There may
