I have found the baptismal record for my grandfather, Seraphim born in 1873 in Lagoa - Nossa Senhora do Rosario. He was "exposta". I have ordered the DNA kit to see if it might provide some clues, but in the meantime I would greatly appreciate help translating the baptismal record to see if it contains anything useful. I do not speak Portuguese. The record is Rosario, Baptismos 1870-1879 > 1873 > 0039. This is a link: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1870-1879/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1870-1879_item1/P237.html He is record #72 which goes through to the next page. This is what I was able to decipher: On the 26th day of the month of July in the year one thousand eight hundred seventy three in the parish church ___________ Our Lady of the Holy Rosary, district of Villa de Lagoa, Diocese of Angra, I baptized solemnly an individual of the male sex to whom I gave the name Seraphim, who without any identification was found on the public wheel "roda publica" on this same day, month and year The godfather John Joaquim Ferreira, married, "sacristao" (sexton, priest's helper) residing on Canada Velha (Old Lane), and godmother Albina Pacheco, married, housewife, residing in the Parish of Nossa Senhora dos Anjos, Agua de Pau (Where did this come from? Ursula de Jesus, married, __________, resident of the parish of __________________________________. ) That is the best that you re going to do for birth date Thanks!
