Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Mateus Cunha and Madelena Inacia marriage details

You're welcome. Louie, because the priest entered place of baptism after the bride's mother's name it creates some confusion but place of birth in this is presumed to be that of the bride. Perhaps her parents are from there also which you will know when you haver her birth record. On Sat, Jan 7,

There was a Gil family from the Azores who emigrated to Lawrence, MA in the 1950's. I remember the daughter being Maria Gil, and a son Frank Gil. Don't know which island they were from. You might want to check the US census in 1950. Sent from my iPhone > On Jan 7, 2017, at 9:59 AM, Shirley

U.S. Censuses are not released for public viewing until 72 years after the census was taken. So the 1950 won't be released until sometime in 2020. You have a few more years to wait. Cheri -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group. To

Louie, I definitely had to look this up, apparently they married on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday (Domingo Quinquagéssima) which in 1659 fell on 23 February. I see the groom's mother as Catherina Rodrigues (abbreviated as "C.na Roiz"). I see the rest of the names as you do. Bill Seidler

I think the father is Antonio because the priest uses the abbreviation Ant.o for him, and but not for the padrinho where he writes "Anta + sign that looks like a capital S indicating o and tilde. just an aside: I also think the padrinho seems to be playing with how he will sign his name as he
