[AZORES-Genealogy] AUSENTE meaning

[Eliseu Pacheco da Silva]

LOLOLOL!!! You guys are funny!!! I like the ideia of the milky cows waiting in 
deep pain, up in the foggy Azorean ills, for the “camponês” to hurry up… :)

 

AUSENTE means (at the time) that the ausente was gone far away. The word was 
used in the sense of being immigrated, gone to Brasil perhaps at this 
particular time, or off to another Island, or at the army… If a father does not 
agree with a marriage it simply will not took place. Off to work?! Na. That 
is why most of the marriages took place early in the morning so people could go 
to work! Plus it was an honor seeing a daughter being married. It meant that 
she would be taken care by a man. For the father of the girl it meant that his 
daughter was not going to starve, be bad spoken.

In the end the act of marriage was a very “meaning” action. To be “ausente” of 
a marriage had always a deep motif!

Like it or not, the father was the top of the pyramid. He was the one who gives 
meaning either by his presence or his absence!

 

Hope it helps :)
