Thanks Edna, I'm very flattered, but please bear in mind if you use it as a guide that my transcription isn't entirely accurate. I made it in haste, and in reviewing it, I can see errors. Especially, I think, that Concelho is better translated as Council rather than District.
There are a couple of good sample transcription/translation pages on the web somewhere, and of course now I can't locate them. When I find them, I'll post the address. best wishes, On Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 8:14:29 PM UTC-8, dave-edna wrote: > > 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.
