It is Pican*ço. I've seen it in Graciosa records, but I've also rented a house in Praia from a Senhor Picanço when I was stationed on Terceira.* *Bill Seidler* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group. To unsubscribe from this

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Is it a girl or a boy!!

I agree that it is a boy. I just thought I would re-post the baptismal record of one of my grandfather's sisters just for fun since it fits in with the heading of this thread. The record identified her as a male named Francisco until the name and gender were changed via a margin note more

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Rabo de Peixe - 2nd Marriage of Manuel Martins de Gouveia 1884

No it never mentions the bride's mother. It also seems confusing that the record says he is a widow and she is ALSO single. Maybe "tambem" is a different nuance in Portuguese. I did find what I believe is Maria's baptism so I think her mother is TAMBEM Maria da Luz

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Alexandrina birth translation

Julzz, You have the year correct and are close on the dates. Born on 24 November and baptized on 26 November 1865. Parents Jose Correia, field worker, and Maria de Jesus, domestic occupation, who are natives of this parish where they married, are parishioners, and are residents in "Oiteiro".

Hi "E" I couldn't open that particular book (Praiinha, baptisms, 1900-1911) in MS Edge or on MS IE; it said error, file not found. All other books worked fine. it is the link on CCA that is the problem. Using the link on tombo instead worked. In any case, this link should open the book in

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Santo Espirito, Santa Maria - Help with a couple of names

I can't make out the words between "Joseph de Rezendes" and "e de sua mulher". On the next page I think the bride's mother is Maria Pacheco. I also agree with JR that the groom's mother is Moura rather than Souza. Bill Seidler The record on the right in the following

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] birth translation help needed.

This is from the book of baptisms; the record you posted was from the book of marriages (casamentos). I will try to translate pertinent parts. Jose, born in Arrifes on 2 April 1855 and baptized on 29 April 1855 Father: Joao d' Arruda Mother: Maria de Jesus Paternal grandparents: Antonio d'

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] birth translation help needed.

The record you posted was a marriage of a Jose d' Arruda in 1855. This one (bottom right) is a baptism of a different Jose d' Arruda the same year in the same place. It also seems to be the same Jose d' Arruda in the 1884 marriage in your Mar 20 post that Margaret translated for you.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: birth translation help needed.

Did you mean that you have a marriage to translate? What I see is a marriage on 4 Feb 1855 at Nossa Senhora da Saude in Arrifes Groom: Jose d' Arruda, son of another (I assume his father has the same name) and of Anna Isabel; baptized and "disobligated" in this parish Bride: Eugenia Maria,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Manuel De Sousa De Mattos and Maria Silveira Wedding

If I am making it through this correctly, the groom's parents are from Ribeira Seca (lines 11-12). The bride's parents are from Topo and the bride was baptized there (lines 14-15). All are parishioners in Rebeira Seca (line 15) where the groom was baptized (line 16). Bill Seidler > --

I believe the word is "sufragânia" (sufragâneo in my dictionary) and as Cheri said, it means the Ermida is subordinate to the Matriz. Bill On Saturday, February 11, 2017 at 6:22:30 PM UTC-8, Cheri Mello wrote: > I'm not familiar with all the chapels on Graciosa. But what they mean is > that

As Cheri said, Netto is his name. As far as I can figure out he is the "Reverend Ouvidor" that provided a "mandado" that no impediment has been discovered and this "mandado" remains in the archive of this parish (que fica no arquivo deste ditta Matriz). I hope this is at least close...I'm
