Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: A Couple of Lines in This Casamento

I'm going to have to disagree with the "Dutra." I looked at several "u"s in the document. None are closed. All are clearly "u"s. What's the abbreviation for Damao name? Cheri Mello Listowner, Azores-Gen Researching: São Miguel island: Vila Franca, Ponta Garca, Ribeira Quente, Ribeira das

Thanks JR, that's very interesting. Your suggestion that the word in question is most likely "Dutra" makes sense. It sure looks like "Dama", though :/ cheers, Linda On Wednesday, February 15, 2017 at 10:05:24 PM UTC-8, JR wrote: > > Dama actually means "maid" as in maid of honor. But at

Dama actually means "maid" as in maid of honor. But at the time a dama was a maid to the Queen or other noble people. In fact, some of them came to Sao Miguel with their husbands and were described by RR as nobles. JR On Thursday, February 16, 2017 at 12:59:22 AM UTC-5, JR wrote: > > Dama is a

Karl, NEPS shows a death date for Maria. Have you found her obit ? It might help, although I don't hold out much hope. The 1600s records are sparse on details, unlike the 1800s which offer up pearls. Sorry, I'm late in responding. I'm trying to clear 1400 messages in my inbox. Got a little

Hi Sue, this is what it looks like to me: "...Pereyra Dama freguezes da Matriz de Santa Cruz e Logo lhe dey as bencoes..." "Pereira Dama, parishioners of the Matriz of Santa Cruz, and after/later I gave them the blessings" "Dama" could be a name? but if so, it's one I'm unfamiliar with.

I've gotten all I need from this record except some words in a couple of lines. The record is the top one on the right page. Go to the 9th line where it starts with Pereira. I can't read the word right after Pereira. Then it goes on to say that they're parishioners of the church of Santa Cruz
