Hi, Here are the marriage and obit records of Manuel Jose de Araujo:
Marriage Top Right: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-MD-SAOMATEUS-C-1795-1846/PIC-MD-SAOMATEUS-C-1795-1846_item1/P106.html Obit Bottom Left: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-MD-SAOMATEUS-O-1859-1875/PIC-MD-SAOMATEUS-O-1859-1875_item1/P33.html Both records state that his parents are unknown but don't seem to mention anyone that may have raised him. His birth record says that he is from Sao Matues but was baptized in Candelaira but not much more information, or at least that i can translate. In a situation like this, is there a way to find records of an orphan or possible relatives that may have raised him? Any insight in why both parents are unknown including the mom? I have a few ideas in my head but would like to know if someone has come across this prior and what ideas they may have. Thanks!
