It would also depend on the period in time. Regulations in the 20th century
were not necessarily in effect in earlier times.I doubt that parteiras were
regulated by the State in the 18th to the mid-19th centuries, particularly
outside the cities and towns.

I have to talk to a cousin in S. Miguel ( when I can get to it ) and ask her
the question of parteiras since she had most of her children born at homeI was
born at home but my mother has passed away so cannot get an answer there

What was the role of midwives? I have seen the same name repeated on births
and often they act as a godparent. Was it a profession, such as, the village
midwife? I have also seen where the child is born in the home of the midwife.
Is it possible that it was the home of a relative acting as the midwife?
