I will rerun this series that I did a year and a half ago. Cheri =================================== Key Baptism Words:
baptisei solemnemente = baptize solemnly um individuo do sexo masculino/feminino =(an individual of the sex masculine/feminine) nome = name nasceu = born filho legitimo = son legitimate filha natural = daughter illegitimate Pai nao sabido = father unknown Pais incognitos = parents unknown natural (with a location) = native onde se receberam = where received (married) neto paterno = grandson paternal neta materna = granddaughter maternal Foi paderinho = For godfather madrinha = godmother Third Baptism Period 1860-1911 (approx). - this is mainly from Joao Ventura's lectures in San Jose and Sacramento, CA a few years ago. Order of the info that appears in a record from this time period: • Baptism date • Village and neighborhood • Council and priest • Sex of child • First name of child, date and time of birth • Sometimes number born before with the same name • Name: first, middle, mother’s family name, father’s family name • Legitimate or illegitimate • Father’s name • Mother’s name • Place of birth • Where living • Place married • Maternal/paternal grandparents names • Godparents Here's what's considered a fairly clear record from Nossa Senhora das Neves, in Relva, council of Ponta Delgada, on Sao Miguel island. The diocese for all of the Azores is always Angra. These words will appear near the top of the record (so play along and pretend you have an ancestor from there). http://goo.gl/GrHux<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://goo.gl/c2qnQ&usg=AFQjCNGtVnQAeXDh9k_EjZ7i14NJ_PFpmQ> Here's the answer key: http://goo.gl/BckUf<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://goo.gl/n7VEZ&usg=AFQjCNEDt4aU8cgnIJ4N4JpChNMXlEl5YQ> For more practice, go to the CCA site: http://goo.gl/GoxK1<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://goo.gl/GzaqQ&usg=AFQjCNFJqiLhfEj8OVvNQdxxaKcy5KyaRg> Pick any page, any person. They are all from the church of Santa Catarina in Calheta, council of Calheta, island of Sao Jorge, with the diocese still being Angra. Pick what you can out of the record. Reply to THIS email/post/thread/topic and post the URL (the long one or go to http://goo.gl/<http://www.google.com/url?sa=D&q=http://goo.gl/&usg=AFQjCNH_Pkr5_2Cu5ubdrELuhZ5_2G65mA>and shorten it like I do) along with with record, say # 13, Maria, lower right side and what you can get out of it. People here will tell you what you are right and what you are close on. I'll post a different lesson in a couple of days. -- Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
