In the marriage record, it states (I think) that Daniel was born in the night between the 18th and 19th of April in 1865. It tells me that he was baptized, etc. So, then I found the baptism record for Daniel (link above). Ana Bernarda is listed as his mother, single, etc. His two godparents are named. I can't get enough detail in the records, because of my limited understanding of Portuguese, to understand what the priests in each record are writing about each situation. These records are very clearly written... Regarding the *baptism record* for Daniel, can someone give me the gist of what the priest writes about the "single mom" situation. I don't see a father listed, right? I know this situation is not uncommon, but this is the first such record I have come across in my own research. Regarding the *marriage record* for Ana and Estalano, is there more in the section about Daniel than his birth and baptism information? I see that he is recognized as a legitimate son. Would Estalano be his birth father, or no? If anyone can help me understand, in general, how situations like this were handled back in the 1800's...and perhaps more specifically how the situation with Ana, Estalano and Daniel is explained by the priests, I would be most grateful. ejkiler -- For options, such as changing to List, Digest, Abridged, or No Mail (vacation) mode, log into your Google account and visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/Azores.
