I would like some help with three baptisms that I have from Nossa Senhora da Luz as follows: #1 Anna - bottom of right page and top left of next page (images #66/67 1811-1826) daughter of Manuel Antonio Hortins and Maria Josefa born ??? 1816 Maternos - incognito??? Pateros Antonion Jose Souza and Josefa Maria ??? There are several other names after this and I can see paterna/maternas again Are the grandparents correct as above or am I reading this completely wrong?? (more than likely, I am!) http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1811-1826/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1811-1826_item1/P66.html (1st page) http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1811-1826/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1811-1826_item1/P67.html (second half of document) #2 Anna - middle or right page ((image#149 1767-1796) year of birth is 1788 daughter of Domingos Jose Bettencourt and Maria Atha/na??? y m?????? ( I cannot read this, my eyes just cannot make out what it says) As you can see, I need help with Maria's name. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1767-1796/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1767-1796_item1/P149.html #3 Maria - middle of left page (image #187 1767-1796 - born September 4, 1793) daughter of Antonio Correa de Mendonca and Maria de Jesus I can see the information about the fregusia, etc. but after that I see the word defunto (deceased?) My question is - who is it saying is defunto? (deceased - or am I again, reading it wrong???) http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1767-1796/GRA-SC-LUZ-B-1767-1796_item1/P187.html Thank you. Any/all help would be greatly appreciated! Lee Estep in WV Graciosa surnames - Mendonca, Bettencourt and Hortins (Ortins in the US) All from Nossa Senhora da Luz (so far)
