Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Furnas, Sao Miguel-Unusual marriage record

I have a similar one too. My great-great grandfather was married at the age of 80 something, after having lived in sin with my great-great grandmother. The priest wrote it like it was a marriage, on his deathbed, but also a confession, because of the scandal he must have caused. Quite

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with name and location

I see Margaret already found the name. It turns out my wife has heard of the name, Cisaltina. Also the diminutive "Cezina" I mentioned earlier, should be Cãozina, which is a diminutive for Conceicao. JR On Monday, February 26, 2018 at 6:14:06 PM UTC-5, Mara wrote: > > Hi Richard, > > This may

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Help with name and location

Nowadays the name is written Cesaltina. But it still is not a very common name. Cheers Gonçalo On Mon, Feb 26, 2018 at 9:09 PM, JR wrote: > Ramalho is a place between Relva and Ponta Delgada, where the airport was > built on Sao Miguel Island. I believe it is considered

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help with name and location

Richard, Cisaltina is the current spelling. The letter "C" is soft sounded and the letter "S" is sounded off as in the letter "Z", (Seezaltina), and yes it is a common name. Ramalho is in the parish of Sao Jose, Ponta Delgada. However, there is no one by this name born there in 1891, 1892 and

[AZORES-Genealogy] Furnas, Sao Miguel-Unusual marriage record

I came across this unusual marriage record in Furnas- Left page No. 7. Apparently, the couple were publicly "living in sin" and the groom was in imminent danger of dying, so they summoned the priest and informed him of their desire to reconcile with the Catholic Church and be married. They

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Help with name and location

Ramalho is a place between Relva and Ponta Delgada, where the airport was built on Sao Miguel Island. I believe it is considered part of Relva. The name Sizaltina is not familiar to me. However I know of Cezina. The middle name is also unfamiliar, perhaps they meant Nascimento. JR On Monday,

Nina, The priest wrote the word "parish" or "church" twice. (I have a hard time going back and forth with embedded attachments. Many on the list cannot read a Word Doc. You need to save in PDF for all to read). The word is not "obitos." It's something else. You've got the gist of the highlighted
