Again I added more of what I understood on those letter games
Hello, I am hoping someone will be able to do a thorough translation of this obit for me. The image is clear, but the writing is difficult for me to make out. This is my rendition with much left out. On 3 September 1749 present the deceased of life, Alferes Joam Soares de Figueiredo married with Maria de Braga, of the age about 70 years more or less ? received the sacraments of penitence viatico and extema uncao. Left a will or testament and on it requested his body be covered with the cover of the college, ...... from this parish and a request OFICIO for 9 days ...... and for his soul 60 masses be performed. Was burried at this church of Sta. Barbara ..... parish where he lived. ....... I don't pick it up again until the 14th line at this Church of Santa Barbara Try as I may, I can't get any more than that. My interest is in knowing in Joam was born in Santa Barbara, or was just a resident. Theresa, I know you have his birth as 1689 in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Açores. I take it you got that date from subtracting 70 from his date of death? I think I also have a "digo" (oops). It seems I somehow ended up sending two attachments of the same image, and I don't know how to delete one of the images, sorry. Any help will be appreciated as my cousin and I are trying to ascertain who the first Figueiredo born in Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, was in our direct line.-- sfig Researching Island: Santa Maria Freguesia: Santa Barbara -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
