[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Margin note in Ribeira Quente, Sao Miguel island

Hello Cheri, That clearly seems to say 1981 that they married, even though the note was written in 1968, the groom died in 1963, and the Rosa herself died in 1971 (I think). It is equally clear that this must be wrong. I would guess the actual year of marriage to be either 1918 or 1921.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Need help reading this marriage record.

Hi Doreen, It says "filho do outro d' mesmo nome" (son of another of the same name), so the groom's father was Joao Rodrigues Monteiro, deceased. It also says both newlyweds are parishioners and were baptized in the same parish stated above (so Fontinhas). I expect it is the same Maria

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Help with Baptism record for Jose son of JoseCoelho Machado and Isabel de Jesus.

I thought you wanted Jose, son of Jose Coelho Machado and Isabel de Jesus which does not have margin note. The record with the margin note is for Jose, natural son of Catarina Ignacia, single. The margin note says Jose is legitimized by the marriage of Jose Lourenço Caetano and Catarina

Doreen, This is how I read it: Baptism: José on 1 July 1862 at São Roque dos Altares Date of birth: 3 June 1862 (or maybe 13 June; the line above interferes) Father: José Coelho Machado, laborer Mother: Isabel de Jesus, worker Both parents are naturals, were married in, and are

I just realized that not only descend from the groom's parents, but from the groom. I descend from the same couple you are asking about, Manuel Maritins and Luiza Pereira do Rosario through their daughter Maria da Resurreição married to Manuel Vieira. Bill Seidler -- You received this

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Help reading Altares Marriage of Joao MachadoToledo and Rosa Maria

Hello Doreen, I think Rosmarie is right about the bride's parents in the lower right record. However, that is the marriage of Manuel Francisco da Silva and Maria Isabel rather than the couple in your subject line. Your couple is the top left record and the bride's parents are not listed; she

I joined my heritage a few months ago. They do have some Portuguese records that are indexed, but I do not believe any are from the Azores. In their catalog they list them as Portugal Births, 1570 - 1910; Portugal Marriages, 1670 - 1910; and Portugal Deaths, 1640 - 1910. I have not seen a

Hi Doreen, I suspect the Francisco and Beatriz couple you have in your database is the correct couple (parents of the brother/sister godparents) and the priest simply made a mistake by repeating the godmother's name instead of her mother's. I do not find a Francisco Gonçalves Velho marrying a

Hi Doreen, I see the same names you do and I believe the bride's parents are Francisco Martins Diaz and Rosa da Trinidade. I wouldn't assume just yet that your database has a mistake. The priest may have mistakenly repeated the daughter's (the godmother of Narcisa) name "Maria do Espirito

It says the godparents Francisco Gonçalves Velho and his sister Maria do Espirito Santo; and thay they are children of Francisco Gonçalves Velho and his wife Maria do Espirito. It doesn't give their relationship to the baby. There is not Beatriz named. Bill Seidler On Saturday, August 4,
