Now I know the short form looks like Mai (Mae=mother), but it is meant to be [Mur.] I have seen this many times, it stands for mulher. So, Joze Augusto Homem de Noronha e sua mulher Dona Maria Jozepha da Silveira... Of course the spellings differ from era to era; and sometimes from priest to priest!

If I recall rightly, I've seen "mai" instead of "mae" for "mother. I don't see an "e" for "and", but I expect the priest most likely meant to write "... e sua Mae..."  (...or maybe he meant "Mai Mai" for "mommy"... ;) hope that helps, :) Linda On Sunday, October 1, 2017 at 7:23:54 PM UTC-7, Sam (Camas, WA) wrote: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SJR-CH-RIBEIRASECA-B-1854-1860/SJR-CH-RIBEIRASECA-B-1854-1860_item1/P55.html  Marianne, middle one on the right hand page  I’ve got the important stuff but; do I have the padrinhos names correct. Jose Augusto Homen de ?? and his mai? mai? Dona Maria Josefa da Silveria ???????????  As always, your help is much appreciated, Sam (Camas, WA)   Virus-free. www.avast.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
