I found the marriage of Jose D'Almeida and Miguelina De Torres. (Yay!). Without all your help and learning about the way they interchanged names- I would have totally missed this record. (Maybe given up!). So, I'm confused on how to enter these names correctly in the familysearch tree or any program.
Because I searched and found each of Joze and Miguelina's 8 children, I followed the name changes- mostly Miguelina switching from De Torres to De Resende. Learning about how they switched names helped me be on the lookout and not dismiss a record if the names were similar. The very last child's record introduced new names for Joze De Almeida's parents. So when I found Joze and Miguelina's marriage, I was surprised that it didn't say De Almeida! He was Joze Bottelho; a surname that I'd only seen on the record of his last born son like at midnight when I couldn't think clearly! Today, familiar name I was looking for (Joze De Almeida) showed up as Joze Botteilho. all his kids baptismal records said Joze De Almeida! And on the date of her her marriage, Miguelina gave her name as Miguelina Roza. How do I enter these multiple names? Joze's mother: At first I entered her as Francisca De Jesus but then in that last birth certificate AND in the marriage of her son, Joze, it says "Francisca Botteiha (sp?) it's pretty clear but I haven't seen this spelling before.do I go back and enter her name as Francisca De Jesus Botteila. (?) maybe someone can see how it's supposed to be spelled. Miguelina: how do I enter her - Miguelina Roza De Torres? Or Miguelina Roza De Resende(?) Or both? (This will make a difference on the familysearch when people search for duplicates) Miguelina's father: all of a sudden isn't Manoel De Resende- the day his daughter was getting married; he was Manoel FURTADO! instead of Manoel De Resende(!) those are 2 surnames so I'm confused which name I enter. Below I'm posting the link for the question on spelling of Botelho - maybe the priest made a mistake (?) As always, thank you for all the direction and help. Oh how I wish I could go to conference !! Marriage is on right hand side. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-FAIALDATERRA-C-1800-1833/SMG-PV-FAIALDATERRA-C-1800-1833_item1/P162.html Many thanks, Maria Elena > On Mar 18, 2014, at 1:49 AM, Dano <[email protected]> wrote: > > First off, I can't speak to what you have for Luiz d'Almeida, because, this > baptism is for a child named Jose.
