Thanks for your two cents! This is very helpful now and in future. I like having as much info as possible as you never know when it will help. I never knew a midwife could baptize someone. Thx. Judy

Where it says baptisado em casa por perigo da vida would be more how in America we would say baptized at home in peril of life (he was sick in some way and they thought he was going to die). Por Maria do Rosario casada com Adao Silveira Bettencourt...by Maria do Rosario married to Adao Silveira Bettencourt...born at the eight hour of the morning of 29 of the month of October of said year. Carreiro does seem to be spelled Cazerriro. Foi padrinho means godfather was Joao Bettencourt da Silveira. Then por madrinha Nossa Senhora means for godmother Our Lady; yes that Lady! My great grandfather was baptized in this same scenario and has the same Godmother! :). Them it says something like: touching the child's face baptized. Here it goes right into the name Manuel Silveira Dias married worker, of whom all are known to me. So this Manuel was another witness there and the priest confirms he knows all present. In closing it says the godfather, the said Manuel Silveira Dias signed with me. And all three signatures. Hope that helps.

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….

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?
