I am appealing to our group's native readers for help in the translation of the following link, beginning with the righthand page and continuing on the next two pages:
http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMA-VP-ASSUNCAO-B-1840-1848/SMA-VP-ASSUNCAO-B-1840-1848_item1/P59.html I understand this to be the formal adoption of Anna, baptized in The Matrix in 1838, and the natural daughter of Maria Luisa, a widow of Francisco Bernardo. I am unclear of the role António Baptista, single, is playing in this adoption, for he is mentioned several times in this and the following pages. Is he simply speaking to the accuracy of the facts, or is there more that I am missing? I do not need a complete translation, just the gist of what is written, for I get lost in the complexity of much of the document. Thanks for any help, Denis -- 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.
