Thank you so much, John, for all the information. I may order the index because I have two direct lines that run through Bretanha and it might help me clear up some name issues. Calvo becomes de Medeiros with Mathias on his marriage entry but from what you’ve provided me the name goes further back in the family. The “name game” is certainly playing itself out in my tree!
Thanks again! Joanne On September 11, 2016 at 7:10:54 AM, 'John Raposo' via Azores Genealogy ( [email protected]) wrote: I have never seen it there but if you find that it is, please let us know.

Before 1703 the records for Bretanha no longer exist. All that we have is an index, with many gaps, put together by a vicar in 1723, of the deteriorating registers he found in Bretanha when he arrived. Many records had already been lost, some were partially obliterated, and as I said, there were many gaps. I have had some luck connecting many lines back to the 16th century using that index, but I also have my share of Bretanha dead ends.

Mathias and Antonio are my 4GG and 5GG respectively and I’d like to trace things back further. Thanks!

He appears to have been married 3 times: Luzia de Sousa; they had children as early as 1710. Maria de Aguiar on 20 June 1742 and she died Valentines Day 1744. His last wife was Francisca Soares whom he married in Brteanha on 21 May 1744. On Saturday, September 10, 2016 4:27 PM, Joanne Mercier < [email protected]> wrote: Alvares! I suspected it might be something like that but I have a problem understanding some of the older abbreviations. Thanks to all, particularly Margaret, for your assistance! Question — any chance Andre Calvo and Luiza de Sousa might be the grandparents as well? Does anyone have this family in their tree? Thanks again!
