Yes, we did have this discussion some time ago--I was part of that
discussion because I had gotten the information and had spoken with the
Portuguese consul at that time in San Francisco. I have recently spoken
with the current consul, who confirmed my understanding.

Tony S,
I learned it was called "continential" Portuguese.
I'm sure everyone has their favorite. I bought cassette tapes back in the
day that came with a course book. It was the Living Language series.
Google: living language continental portuguese
Amazon.com sells it still on cassette or CD.
Fred S,
To reach the widest audience, you are better off sending the link to the
CCA web site. That way, all 1100+ people on this list will be able to
read the record. On my computer, I cannot enlarge your image at all. It's
microscopic.
Also, make it as easy on the translators and those learn
Tony S,
Yes, all the baptism are by first name only. The 2nd name came later in
life.
In the reading of the records, it seems that the names come first. Then
the months. The numbers seem to come last.

I read something quite a while back. It mentioned that you had to be able
to speak/understand Portuguese for one thing.

Didn't we have something about this dual citizenship sometime back? I was

I miss-spoke when I said "all descendants". I believe it's only the first
two generations that are eligible but I didn't ask about that since I was

Hi Mary Ann,
I live in the Bay Area, but I do know where both parts of the Perry/Silva
family lived.

I also seem to have misunderstood my local Portuguese Consul. He told me that I
needed to be either the son or grandson of a Portuguese citizen in order to
become a Portuguese citizen. I qualified and became a citizen; the process only
took two weeks but getting a passport and identity card took
That is interesting information to know. From what I have read though, I
thought that you would only be eligible to obtain Portuguese citizenship or
dual citizenship if a parent or grandparent was born in Portugal (up 2 to
generations worth). In other words, if your great-grandmother was born in
FYI - Portugal considers all descendants of folks born in Portugal to be

Hi all.
Every once and a while I come across a record were I find information which
I do not expect. The record list the parents with this wording "Joao Joaquim
de Carvalho e de sua segunda mulhar Jacinta Candida" This record tells me
Jacinta Candida is the second wife of Joao Joaquim Carvalho.
I don't think any of your Perrys sound familiar, but I will forward your
