Sabina, daughter of Anta. de Sou, I say daughter of Domingas (common name) de Paiva, daughter of Antonio de Sousa queD'haya (father of Domingas) and of Antonia de Paiva (mother of Domingas), single (Domingas). Born on the 19th day of the month of May of the year 1759 and baptized in this parish of her mother and of her father who said to me (que disse a mim) he recognized her as his daughter whom is Joao de Sousa, married man of this same Parish / by me (referring to baptized) Andre de Sousa Dias, its Vicar, on the 25th day of same month and year Margaret Vicente On Sat, Dec 1, 2012 at 7:09 PM, Altino Demelo <[email protected]>wrote: > Thanks Hermano, > > That record really is a mess.
