Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] My Pai Incognito ancestor suddenly has a father?

Christian, I should have placed a question mark beside the place named (Cam.o) Camacho? I'm not certain this is the right place. Perhaps someone from Graciosa can correct it. On Tue, Sep 6, 2016 at 10:51 AM, Margaret Vicente <margaretvice...@gmail.com > wrote: > Christian, > &

Christian, I'll gladly help but I'm not clear on what you're looking for. Based on the emails content it is not clear to me who you are trying to trace. In any case I found Manuel's birth record which matches the marriage record link you posted. And, it tells all about Antonio Machado. To

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Pastorinho

Christian, If I may; Pastor is the name, Pastorinho is the diminuitive of Pastor. It can be used interchangeably. To be certain which might be the original name, you will have to look up his birth record. Pastor as first name is not indicative of the office of herding sheep. And it definitely

Joanne, in this case the "Dom" you are reading is a honorary title for the Bishop, who exempted the couple for the 6th degree of consanguinity, allowing them to marry. Antonio Calvo could be picking it up from one of the grandparents, you may find continuity as you go back further on this line.

Rosemari and Cheri. There used to be the parish of Santos as well but in 2012 it was separated and absorbed by the parish of Estrela. The bairro/neighbourhood of Santos i.e. where the church was built is still there but no longer considered of "freguesia". Hope this helps clarify. Margaret
