That is a big relief Margaret. In that time, i'm sure that there was a big stigma attached to being a single mother. It takes two to create a child, yet in those times, women were bore the brunt of the talk and looks that would follow them if they ended up single and pregnant. It's nice to know that Sabina's father stood up to acknowledge her as his. (That cannot have been easy as he was married to another woman at the time).
That's the great thing about doing genealogy, you come across information that gives you a glimpse into the lives of people who have passed and cannot tell us anymore about themselves or the time that they lived in. ________________________________ From: Altino Demelo <[email protected]> To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, December 1, 2012 5:49:01 PM Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with a record Cheri, Domingas is the mom.
