Helen C, Can you provide a link to the original record from the CCA Web site? I'm guessing the ancestor's name is Joaquina Candida.
Some things you don't want to translate. No one in America says that they are from Holy Faith in New Mexico. We just leave it alone and call it Santa Fe, New Mexico. You can use the Azores GenWeb to help you. It explains the 3 time periods and what to expect in each time period, along with key words. Then there's a translation of each document. https://goo.gl/4Tzc2i Good luck, Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das Tainhas, Achada On Sat, Mar 10, 2018 at 9:49 AM, <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I've been trying to search Luz, Graciosa baptism records which is > difficult since the script is hard to read and I know so little Portuguese. > I have been trying to use Google Translate which sometimes works and other > times gives me strange translations which means that I've misread letters. > I have determined that my grandmother, Maria Pacheco de Mello was the > "natural daughter" of an unmarried woman, Laurentina Isabel dos Santos who > was the "natural" daugher of a single woman, Joaquina bandida.
