With the help of JR, I have been able to find a bunch of information on my greats (Thank you). But this one leaves me a little bit confused. (A little bit is an understatement)
Sebastiao is my 2nd great grandfather and Joanna is, obviously, my 2nd great grandmother but in a plot twist, she's also my 2nd great aunt. Sebastiao's records are pretty consistent (until his son Victorino) but Joanna leaves my head spinning. I am hoping that someone with more experience can help me make sense of this. Their marriage record shows Sebastiao de Medeiros s/o Henrique Jose & Maria Magdalena and Joanna Emilia d/o Antonio de Medeiros & Anna Jacinta http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-C-1832-1853/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-C-1832-1853_item1/P330.html Sebastiao's baptismal record shows s/o Henrique Jose & Maria Magdalena http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1823-1829/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1823-1829_item1/P57.html I believe this to be Joanna's baptismal record (I am still looking) which shows d/o Antonio Medeiros & Helena Thomazia http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1823-1829/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1823-1829_item1/P322.html What I have: Children of Sebastiao de Medeiros & Joanna Candida Manoel - Jul. 8 1850 - Pat - Henrique de Medeiros & Maria Magdalena; Mat - Antonio da Costa & Maria de Jesus http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1847-1851/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1847-1851_item1/P301.html Manoel - Jun. 24 1853 - Pat - Henrique de Medeiros & Maria de Jesus; Mat - Antonio de Medeiros & Jacinta Thomazia http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1851-1854/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1851-1854_item1/P242.html Children of Sebastiao de Medeiros & Joanna Emilia Maria - Abt. 1859 (from obit) http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-O-1906-1911/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-O-1906-1911_item1/P5.html Maria - Jul. 26 1863 Pat - Henrique Jose de Medeiros & Maria Thomazia; Mats - Antonio da Costa & Maria de Jesus http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1860-1866/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1860-1866_item1/P299.html Francisco - Sept. 25 1867 - Pat - Henrique de Medeiros & Maria Magdalena; Mat - Antonio da Costa Zangao & Anna Jacintha http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1867-1869/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1867-1869_item1/P32.html Victorino - Apr. 10 1872 - Pat - Joaquim de Medeiros & Maria Magdalena; Mat - Joao de Medeiros Manteiga & Anna de Jesus http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1870-1879/SMG-LG-ROSARIO-B-1870-1879_item1/P159.html If we say that both of these couples are the same couple, then Antonio da Costa, Antonio de Medeiros and Joao de Medeiros are the same person as well (Manteiga and Zangao are apelidos). Maria de Jesus, Anna Jacintha, Jacinta Thomazia and Anna de Jesus are also the same person. Henrique Jose de Medeiros and Joaquim de Medeiros are the same person and Maria Thomazia, Maria Magdalena and Maria de Jesus are also the same person. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense but it doesn't make any sense any other way either. Am I seeing this right? If so, how do I record this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
