Hi Marcio, I responded on your blog site however I'm not sure it went through. Thank you so much for all of this information for Antonio......it would have taken me years of reading records to find his ancestry back so far! I'm intrigued by all those names back to the 1600's for his male relatives who aren't Baptista....another confusing use of surnames in the Azores. Also, I saw "Capitao" and "Sargento Mor" as titles next to a couple of the names.......is this Captain of a boat and a Sargent in an Army? Welcome back......I appreciate your knowledge and insights! Thanks again, Nancy

For some reason my computer becomes unresponsive if my posts are 2 long Marcio Borba Feel the Azores... visit http://azorean-roots.blogspot.com--- Em ter, 21/10/08, nancy jean baptiste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> escreveu: De: nancy jean baptiste <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Assunto: [AZORES-Genealogy] I found Antonio!!!!!!!!Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Terça-feira, 21 de Outubro de 2008, 19:29 Greetings Group, I am so excited!!!!!! I never thought I would find my paternal ggrandfather...my Dads father and mother were separated when he was 3 and he didn't know much about him or his family.....we had no idea which island he was from or even his real name. My Dad ....Joseph Cardoza Baptiste thought his grandfathers name was Antone C. Baptiste......father of John Cabral Baptiste....father of my Dad, Joseph and his brother John.......Elaine helped me by finding my grandfather Johns birth certificate in New Bedford and it had his parents listed as Antonio T. Baptista from Sao Jorge.....she then found Antonios death certificate so I knew his age...(or so I thought....he was actually born in 1835...not 1838). She also found his marriage to my ggrandmother....Maria Cabral...from Santa Maria....on the certificate....his parents names were listed.....Jose J. Baptista and Agueda M. of Sao Jorge.So.....I started looking at all the baptisms on the CCA site for Sao Jorge ......I looked for 10 years before 1838 and 10 years after 1838......I came across a Baptista family in Ribiera Seca and saw the name a couple of times in Calheta and Norte Peqeno....when the Topo records came on I felt like I'd found a gold mine.....lots of Baptistas........many of them linked to a Jose Texiera Baptista and a Maria de San Jose....... finally this morning I found it......I just sat and stared at the record in disbelief!!!! Antonio....son of Joam Jose Baptista and Agada Maria!!!!!! Grandson of Jose Texiera Baptista and Maria de San Jose!!!!! I know it's him........ Could some one else read the record with me so that I have a complete translation.....? It's on the CCa site....Topo Baptisms for 1828....page # 152......
