Vigario Andre Avelhino [Avellino?] de Sousa and translation: 1. On the twenty seventh day of the month of September of 2. the year 1874, in this Parochial Church 3. of Sao Matheus, District of Magdalena, Pico Island, Diocese 4. of Angra, I solemnly baptized an individual of the masculine 5. sex, who I gave the name Jacintho, and who was born in this 6. Parish at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on the 17th day of the current 7. month, and year, legitimate son of Manoel Pereira Evangelho, farmer, 8. native of this Parish, and of Rita Luiza, employed 9. in [the] domestic governance [of her house], native of the Parish of Bandeiras, of this 10. same District, and Diocese, in which Parish they were married 11. and [they are] Parishoners of this Parish of Sao Matheus, [and] residents of the locale 12. of Praia do Galleao of this same Parish, paternal grandson of 13.

E para constas lavrei em duplicado 17. esta assento, que depos de sertido, e conferido perante this section is more or less standard wording attesting that the ceremony [and all religious/legal requirements] was properly completed 18. os padrinhos comigo nao assignarao por nao sabem escriver The godparents here with me did not sign [the baptismal register] because they do not know how to write 18. Era ut Supra = Latin for "it was as above", i.e., an attestation that the baptism described above occurred as stated 19. Vigario = Vicar "hum individuo": "hum"and "huma" are archaic forms of "um" and "uma" I'm not a native speaker, so please everyone please forgive the typos and errors in transcriptions-- especially with respect to the verb forms and tenses-- and I'm unfamiliar with the locations, so there may be errors with those as well best wishes, Linda On Tuesday, February 17, 2015 at 4:25:54 PM UTC-8, Mary Pimentel Wheeler wrote: > > I finally found a record in somewhat legible handwriting (yay!!), so I'm > trying my very first translation from Portuguese to English.
