I need some help understanding these 2 documents.
#1 – Right page, Manoel, filho de Joze de Souza da Silva *http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-B-1833-1841/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-B-1833-1841_item1/P85.html* <http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-B-1833-1841/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-B-1833-1841_item1/P85.html> In the baptism record, it basically says: Manoel, son of Jose de Souza da Silva, native of the main parish of Saint Mathews, and his wife Roza Joaquina native of the main parish of Our Lady of Guadalupe and both parishioners of this main parish of the Apostle of Saint Mathews of the village of Praia of the Island of Graciosa, inhabitants of Fenais, paternal grandparents ….. #2 – Document No. 3 for Manoel de Souza da Silva and Roza Izabel da Cunha *http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-C-1845-1876/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-C-1845-1876_item1/P185.html* <http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-C-1845-1876/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-C-1845-1876_item1/P185.html> In the marriage record it basically says: On the 20th of January … this main parish church of Saint Mathews … legitimate son of Joze de Souza da Silva, native of the parish of Guadalupe of this same council, and of Roza Joaquina, native of this mine parish; and she is of the age ….. If I have translated and interpreted this correctly, aren’t the two in contradiction of each other? Doesn’t #1 say that Roza Joaquins is the native (born) in Guadalupe and #2 say that Joze de Souza da Silver was born in Guadalupe? The same is true for the spouse where it switches that they were born in the parish of Saint Mathews. Please straighten me out if I am incorrect or missing something. Thanks for your help in this matter.
