Robin,
In my opinion, Joao and Matilde, are brother and sister of the father (Jose)of the baby(Jose) and they (Jose, Joao and Matilde) are the children of the babies grandfather, Jose, who is dead at the time this baby is born.

Yes, I'm seeing what your seeing. I'm confused on one part though - here's part of a prior post on Jose (who's married to Ana below) baptism. The items I've highlighted in red are confusing to me. I know this is my GGGrandfather's baptism because I have a delayed Azores baptism (which I can't find at the moment) that speaks of his life threatening condition and why he was baptisted when he was. Matilde and Joao are brother and sister of whom? Is it also saying that the Jose born in 1825 was deceased (basically deceased when his son was born)? :) Robin Borba Besotes Jose, son of Jose da Rocha de Borba and (his wife) Custodia Candida, from the Parish of Sao Bartolomeu dos Regatos of Ilha Terceira (Terceira Island), born in February 10, 1850, he was baptized at home because of life threatening, by me the Vicar bellow mentioned (or signed) on the 21st of the same month and year. He was brought to the Church where I applied all the rituals of the church and the saint oil (sacred oil) and witnessed Joao da Rocha de Borba, and his sister Matilde Candida, son and daughter of Jose da Rocha de Borba already deceased, all resident in this same Parish. I wrote and signed this record Vicar Joao Coelho da Mae de Deus ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: 2010-06-15 21:13 Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] CCA Guidance - da Rocha de Borba abt. 1850's Hi Robin, Your son "ran with the Bulls" and my husband ran from the bulls. He went to get a beer and on his way back to where we were standing , the bulls started coming down the street, He ran like heck, jumped the fence and never spilled a drop of his beer. Scared him though! I 'm glad you found the connection. I have it this way, Tell me if you agree your Grandfather Lawrence Borba b. 19222 your Ggrandfather Antonio da Rocha Borba married to Mary Matos of Sao Jorge island your GG b. 1850 Jose da Rocha da Borba married to Anna Furtado Jorge do Souto Salas, Faial your GGG b. 1825 Jose da Rocha da Borba married to Custodia Candida your GGGG abt. 1788 Francisco da Rocha da Borba married to Ana Theodora m 1813 your GGGGG a. 1760 Jose da Rocha Borba married to Marianna Josefa (couldn't find the marriage) b. 1685 Joseph da Rocha Borba m.1716 (Agueda do Espirto Santo (2) Luzia Josefa m.1735 b. a. 1650 Josepha da Rocha m. 1679 to Maria da Borba Vieira Bras Gil m. Catarina da Roch; Note: Joseph da Rocha Borba and Agueda do E.S. had only 2 children that I could find. Joseph b. July 1, 1722 and Marianna b. Jan 18, 1727. Agueda died in 1730. Maybe this Joseph is one of the missing grandparent. I think there are two missing generations. Good luck Helen -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
