Rabo de Peixe is the freguesia next to Calhetas, and Calhetas was considered part of Rabo de Peixe freguesia at one time. You will not find records older than 1796 for baptisms, 1836 for marriages. Calhetas must have begun almost the same time as Rabo de Peixe because it is often referenced in the old Ribeira Grande and Rabo de Peixe records. It is possible that you may find some links to Ribeira Grande, Estrela, and to lesser extent, maybe Ponta Delgada also. Really, I know we want more, but it is blessing to have anything in the 1600's at all.
Padrinhos, o Padre, Joao Lopes da Vila (perhaps Ribeira Grande?), and Izabel Alvres, mulher de Antonio Alvares das Calhetas JR On Sunday, February 10, 2019 at 12:25:10 PM UTC-5, Cheri Mello wrote: > > Thea, > The older Calhetas records may be housed in the next freguesia over.
