Interestingly, Betalbatim has the oldest records of births, deaths and baptisms at the Archives Department in Panjim. I did access a lot of information whilst researching my family tree history, as my father's side is from Cotawaddo, Betalbatim and the oldest book, just repaired, dates back to 1750's soon after the inquisition period. However, it is hardly readable... but managed to reach 1790's on our family tree. I have found very interesting entries of all sorts, some shocking, others hilarious - great reading, better than Netflix! Betalbatim seemed to be a cool place to live at the time!🙂 > Whilst on the task, I did interview some of my distant relatives just by > knocking on random doors as nearly everybody there is a Cota or Cotta... and > found anecdotes dating back my late grandfather's youth days, the late > Maestro Jose Santana Cota, way back in 1920's... before he migrated to > Bombay to join the musical scene of Bollywood film industry and then back to > Goa.
