Altino, Of that time that is all true from our vantage point but that's not how their reality in fact was. I'm not so sure I would put too much value on Joao's goodwill without studying a little deeper...ie what was Dominga's age when she had the baby....could she have been a minor that was taken advantage of?
I also figure out what it was the priest wrote after Domingas' Father's name; Antonio de Sousa "que D'aya". Extended is "que Deus haja" literal translation "that G-d has or whom G-d has" It means her father was deceased. Sabina was orphaned and it looks like Joao did the right thing by her either by his own will or by means of some protective relatives ;) Margaret On Sun, Dec 2, 2012 at 3:19 PM, Altino Demelo <[email protected]>wrote: > That is a big relief Margaret. > > In that time, i'm sure that there was a big stigma attached to being a > single mother.
