Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Interpretation of Baptismal Record for Claudia, daughter of Florencia - Ponta Delgada, Flores 1806

Hi João, Thank you for all of the info as well. It is interesting how this family line produced several connections. I also have a Family Finder match who is descended from Maria Coelho (sister of Pedro Jose de Avelar (my direct ancestor), and of Faustino Jose de Avelar. I was thinking,

David, This is all amazing information. Thanks a lot! You're related to wife as you can see in this relationship diagram from her to Florencia Rosa: http://venturas.org/familytree/relationship.php?ged=venturas=I5=I152 This is all I know about her (and her children):

Eric, I found the death record for Maria de Jesus - one of the other children of Florencia. It states that Florencia was a native of Corvo. Top right, No. 12 http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-O-1860-1870/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-O-1860-1870_item1/P83.html

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Interpretation of Baptismal Record for Claudia, daughter of Florencia - Ponta Delgada, Flores 1806

Hi Depending on how common the name Florencia appears in the records during that time frame of 13 years would determine to me if it was the same person. If it appears as a very uncommon name, then I would say they were the same person. Also, In order to make a good determination, I would

Here's a Santa Cruz, Flores marriage record of a Monica : João Pimentel Canhoto [f.º de Manuel Pimentel Canhoto e de Inácia Rosa] c. 1816.08.12 c. Mónica Coelho [n. Ponta Delgada, Santa Cruz das Flores, f.ª de pai incógnito e de Florência Rosa]. *If it's the same as in the baptism record,

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Interpretation of Baptismal Record for Claudia, daughter of Florencia - Ponta Delgada, Flores 1806

I think that tracking down Florencia's baptism record , obit, or the marriage record of either Pedro or Monica could provide some confirmation. I tend to think it is the same mother. The 1792 to 1806 time frame would easily be in childbearing years. It is also a time when many people left Corvo

While looking at obitos for Ponta Delagda, Flores, I noticed this almost three page entry for Agostinho Antonio de Barcellos http://www.culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-O-1770-1837/FLR-SC-PONTADELGADA-O-1770-1837_item1/P152.html

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Interpretation of Baptismal Record for Claudia, daughter of Florencia - Ponta Delgada, Flores 1806

Thanks for all the input everyone. I will have to do more searching. Eric, thanks for checking those records. I had Pedro's, Monica's, and Faustino's marriage recs but not the one for Maria de Jesus. I haven't been able to find a birth rec for Faustino and will have to look for the one for

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Interpretation of Baptismal Record for Claudia, daughter of Florencia - Ponta Delgada, Flores 1806

Have you done DNA testing? Most of my matches for Flores involve Avelar ancestors. Corvo was too rocky to provide enough food for the growing population. Eric Edgar On Thu, Oct 1, 2015 at 12:30 PM, Kawika322 wrote: > Thanks for all the input everyone. I will have to

[AZORES-Genealogy] Interpretation of Baptismal Record for Claudia, daughter of Florencia - Ponta Delgada, Flores 1806

There is a baptismal record I would like to have people's interpretation on. The record is for a Claudia born 7 Jul 1806 in Sao Pedro, Ponta Delgada, Flores. The mother is names Florencia, and I am trying to see if she may be the same Florencia who is the mother of my direct ancestor Pedro

[AZORES-Genealogy] Interpretation of Baptismal Record for Claudia, daughter of Florencia - Ponta Delgada, Flores 1806

I doubt they are the same mother. The priest baptizing Pedro and Monica identified the mother as Florencia, daughter of Maria Coelho from Corvo, a single woman with a mother. The priest baptizing Claudia identified the mother as Florencia, a single mulata and slave of Agostinho Antonio de
