As a matter of interest I would look at the Obitos for this period between the two Marias to see if the first one died. Remember this is the time before bottles and formulas and many foundlings were given to woman who were lactating. As far as the second Maria you might say she was in foster care. I certainly would make note of it as this is the family history.
Rick From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Maria Lima Sent: Tuesday, August 8, 2017 8:07 PM To: AZORES Subject: [AZORES-Genealogy] A child "presented" to Izabel Martins Wow! Izabel had a daughter which they named Maria and was baptized April 1-then a few pages later I find ANOTHER child baptized 1 June (also named Maria) but her parents are Unknown. It says she was "presented" to Izabel Martins, wife of Manoel da Costa. How do I record this second Maria who is not biological child of the couple? (Well, we don't know if she's the child of the father or some relative) when this child was given to her to raise, she already had 5 of her own and the youngest was two months old. Weird situation but maybe someone has more insight. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOJOSE-B-1673-1687/SMG-PD-SAOJOSE-B-1673-1687_item1/P103.html Help?
