I have been searching these records for S. Mateus de Calheta and have found several families that are my ancestors. I have translated pretty much everything except a word I cannot find anywhere in my dictionary or in the information I got at the SLC. In the earlier records, pre-1900, there is a column if the individual had made first confession, communion, if they could read and write and then there is a column labeled "Bulla?" I think. It may not be important at all but I just was curious what it meant. In the later records this information is not included. Thanks, Karen Silva Hillman, researching Silva, Goncalves on Terceira, and Sousa, Teixeira, Ayres on S. Jorge.
