Hello, It's neither the church nor the village. Those records are organized by the Portuguese administrative divisions. In this case they are categorized by: 1. Ilha / Island 2. Conselho / Municipality 3. Freguesia / Civil Parish (the translated term is a bit stupid, but taking into account that they had a 1:1 mapping about a century ago, it's understandble). In most cases, the Freguesia is named after the city/town/vilage, but in some cases - usually when a city had multiple parishes - that would lead to situations like in Paris where the arrondissements are numbered from 1 to 20. In those cases, the freguesia was named after something else. In deeply religious areas (such as the Azores) the name was usually the same as the catholic parish name. In places like Lisbon, they were named after the common-use names for the neighborhoods.
