Judy; I am no expert at this and hopefully someone else will check this out and make corrections, which I'm sure are needed!
This will give you a start though. The spelling of the last name of Antonio is difficult and I'm sure I did not get it quite right. I'll be interested to see how close I came on the whole thing.. Sam in CA On the 6th day of the month of November of the year 1869 in this Parochial church of Nossa Senhoria de Rosario, council of Villa das Velas, Diocese of Angra ?? only of Santos ??? an individual of the masculine sex ??? I gave the name of Joao who was baptized in house by danger of not living ??? Maria do Rosario married with ??? Silveira Bettencourt and was born in this parish at the hour of ??? of the 29th day of ??? of October of the same year. Legitimate son of Antonio Cazerriro, worker, native of Villa Franca of the island of Sao Miguel and of Rosa Silveira Baptista, occupied in domestic service, native of this parish and of where they were received and where they are parishioners, ???? ???, place of council Grande, paternal grandson of Cazeseriro Jose and of Antonia Julia e maternal of Manuel Silveira Baptista and of Maria de Jesus. ?? ?? godfather, Joao Bettencourt da Silveira, single, worker and ??? ??? godmother ???

All the things as above (then all the standard closing stuff) From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of jt Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 8:07 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] translation help needed Could someone pls help me translate the attached record, #21? It looks like the names and dates are about what I'm looking for but want to understand it all. It looks like the father is from Villa Franca, San Miguel, but this record is Rosais, Sao Jorge. The person I'm looking for is Joao Carreiro, birthdate 22 Aug 1889 on Sao Jorge, father Antonio Carreiro. This appears close. Where would I find records for Villa Franca, Sao Miguel? What concelho?
