Record 20? The parents were born and married in Biscoitos, and "moradores na Canada do Pugo" = residents in/on the Canada do Pugo.
I gather that a canada is a geographical feature, like a natural passage or a route, in a landscape. I've seen it used in Spainish to indicate old shepherd trails, but I'm not 100% sure of the connotations in the Azores. I've taken it to mean a natural feature (hillside or streamside) along which houses were built. A native's interpretation would be invaluable, and I'd very much appreciate clarification of my assumptions. I've no idea what "porterito" means.
