Fwd: [AZORES-Genealogy] What do you call a suburb?

* Cheri,* *Regarding "aldeia" there is one use of that designation that is unique to the Island of Flores. The small abandoned lugar of Cuada (formerly known as Quada) between the Freguesias of Faja Grande and Fajazinha is now known as "Aldeia da Cuada" (google it). I don't know all the

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Marriage Ribeirinha, Sao Miguel 1895

The mother likely didn't know herself: was she brought to the Azores as a child from Brazil? was she born in the Azores to a couple that had spent in Brazil? In my own family there's a story that a great-great grandmother arrived in S. Jorge, pregnant and unmarried, from Brazil...but the story

"cuja naturalidade não consta" "naturalidade" means where it was born. For example, one can say "naturalidade: Ribeira Grande" "nao consta" means it isn't known So it isn't known where Clara Maria Fernades was born. Cheers Gonçalo

When I used Google to translate it, it did give me the words, Rick. I don't understand why they didn't know where the bride's mom was from. It didn't say she was dead. If the bride didn't know, couldn't she have asked her mother? But then again, times were different and maybe they just didn't go
