Bom dia Diane, Google "Guerra da Restauração". Soldados pagos had a legal contract, this was their profession during that time of períod (that's why some ran off). Mercenaries also existed, but belonged to another rank.
----- Mensagem Original ----- De: "Diane George" <[email protected]> Enviado: 02/11/2016 06:03 Para: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Assunto: [AZORES-Genealogy] Soldado Pago Hi, Recently while searching baptism records on CCA for Flamengos in the early 1700s, I am seeing a lot of records showing the father’s occupation as “soldado pago” which Google translates to paid soldier. Does this mean “mercenary” or does it have some other meaning? Someone suggested that it means a soldier who serves for 8 years. Any ideas.
