I also see that it could be Luiz. If you take a look at the word 'batizado' the squiggly letter 'z' sort of looks the same as the letter at the end of that childs name. On Dec 7, 11:15 pm, carab...@aol.com wrote: I can't read the name of the child on the baptismal record. I was wondering  if

Hi hi hi! Writing from Alaska with a general question: I am researching my husband's grandparents' lives and emigration from the Azores. I see the post regarding baptismal records and am wondering if these have been compiled somewhere online? Or are people providing these from family records and

Hi Sherry, I think I still see Luiz. I went back to look to see if I can see Pedro. It sure looks like there's a dotted letter in that name. It could be a stray mark, I suppose. It is a little tough to read. I don't know the birth order. If you collect all the kids of this couple, the births

The baptismal record I sent was from a microfilm that I was using at a Family History Center. I scanned the image from the film. There are a lot of films that cover the Catholic Church's parish records for the Azores places all over the world. There are about 20 FHC's in Alaska from what I

Is it possible that since Luiz was the male before this unreadable one that he died very young and they named the next son the same thing? Do you know what became of the twin Luiz? Maybe there is an obito shortly after. Just a thought! I have a family in my tree where this happened. On

Hi Tiffany, Knowing you are researching your spouse's grandparents doesn't give us a time line. If your husband is 25, his grandparents could be 75 (born in the 1930s). If your husband is 75, his grandparents could have been born in the 1880s. There would be different locations to begin your

Sherry, You can have multiple living Marias (one will go by Maria and the others will go by their middle, usually religious, name). But you can't have 2 living boys with the same name. So if the unreadable male is Luiz, then Luiz the twin died. Look for the death of a Luiz between twin Luiz's
