Oh my goodness JR- thank you so much for doing this. Thank you . After this post, I started paying attention to the priests names and learned that they were just what u said- they were witnesses. Added another word to my Portuguese vocabulary- thezoureiro. You also shed light on the spelling of Emgracia- sometimes I thought it said Engracia. I'll need to go back in the familysearch tree and change it each time I misspelled it.
I am grateful to you for taking the time to do this- Maria Elena Sent from my iPhone > On Apr 7, 2014, at 9:40 AM, JR <[email protected]> wrote: > > Vitorino, filho de Francisco Joze de Rezendes e sua mulher Emgracia > (Engracia) Roza naturais desta parochial de NS da Purificacam lugar de Santo > Espirito desta ilha de Santa Maria e moradores no lugar desta parochial, neto > pela parte paterno, de Joze de Rezendes Jacome e sua mulher Marianna Carvalha > e pela materno, de Antonio Curvelo e sua mulher Izabel de Melo, ja defuntos, > todos naturais e fraguesia desta dita Parochial, nasceu em os seis dias de > mes de Janeiro anno do mil sete centos e outenta tres annos e foi bautizado > nesta igreja parochial de seis pais por mim Joze Alvares Cabral vice vigario > dito ( I meant to say) aos doze dias de dito mes e anno foi padrinho Antonio > Joze Ferreira cazado com Dona Anna Ursula fraguesias desta parachial. > Witnesses were Padre Cura Francisco Joze Puim e Padre thezoureiro Joaquim > Antonio Jacome. > > It was indeed common for priests and their assistants to appear as witnesses, > and often they appeared as godparents also.
