Thanks Linda for posting this both in Portuguese and the translation; I printed it so I can use it as a guide for myself as I try to read these records. Very helpful.

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. I had trouble making out some of the words, and cannot find translations for others (using Google Translate). If anyone has the time, I would really appreciate a review of my translation, and some help with the pertinent facts. I've attached the document I'm working from - with the images of the records and my (attempt) at writing it out and translating. Key facts I take from this translation: Jacintho Evangelho (My maternal Great Grandfather) Baptized 27 Sept 1984, Church of San Mattheus, Madelena, Pico Legitimate son of Manuel Pereira Evangelho (farmer) of this parish, and Maria Luiza (domestic?), a native of Banderias, in whose parish they were received (married?) There is something about residents of Praynha Galleas? He is the paternal grandson of Manuel Pereira Evangelho and Maria Teresa (the mother of Francisco Garcia and Maria Anna? Would these be his maternal aunt & uncle?) The Godfather is Antonio (cannot read last name), who is single and a "maritimo" (sailor?). The Godmother is Mariana Luiza, single and (cannot read the rest) I cannot read or make out the meaning of lines 16-19. Questions I have: First of all,did I get the above facts right? Does this state the date and place of his birth anywhere? Thank you all - this is a great community and I appreciate all the help many of you give to those of us who are trying to learn. -- 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 <http://groups.google.com/group/Azores>.
