Hello Group, I have not posted for quite a while but need some help with a baptism I just found. This is for Vincencia Roza, who was left on a doorstep @ birth at the home of Joseph de Rosa and his wife ______ Maria and was baptized in Madalena, Pico.
I can't read all of it but what I got out of it was: Vicenta, daughter of unknown parents September 5, 1785, was laid at the door of Joseph da Rosa and his wife _____ Maria, residents of _____ natives of this parish ______Madelena, Pico, and was baptized on the 6thday of the same month, godfather was grandson, Joseph Ignatio_____ Fayal But in her Sept 1811 Santa Luzia, Pico, marriage record Vincentia is listed as the legitimate daughter of Joze ____ Roza and Maria Francisca. Did they adopt her and so she became legitimate? Was Maria Francisca a different wife than the ______ Maria in the baptism record? Also, when you come across someone who has been adopted, do you then follow the adopted family line? That sounds like what I would like to do since they obviously became her parents. I don't know how to attach these baptism & marriage records but here are the sites: Baptism: *** http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-MD-MADALENA-B-1785-1800/PIC-MD-MADALENA-B-1785-1800_item1/P57.html *<http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-MD-MADALENA-B-1785-1800/PIC-MD-MADALENA-B-1785-1800_item1/P57.html> Marriage: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-SR-SANTALUZIA-C-1735-1815/PIC-SR-SANTALUZIA-C-1735-1815_item1/P267.html Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!!
