Hello, I am looking through some records in Calheta on Sao Jorge, and found that every few entries in the baptismal book the priest adds a little Va/Via in the margin.
Examples include: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-CH-CALHETA-B-1803-1812/SJR-CH-CALHETA-B-1803-1812_item1/P78.html http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-CH-CALHETA-B-1803-1812/SJR-CH-CALHETA-B-1803-1812_item1/P77.html The same notation can be found in the villages death books: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-CH-CALHETA-O-1782-1818/SJR-CH-CALHETA-O-1782-1818_item1/P175.html This is repeated every handful of entries. I would love to know what the priest was denoting, or counting! Any help in the matter would be greatly appreciated. , Jeremy Researching: Sao Jorge, Pico, Flores, Faial, Graciosa, Teirceira -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
