Yes, I found quite a few errors in the baptisms. One says Emilia is a
Braga. Another says they were received in Santa Anna. Mafalda does not have
Medeiros in her immediate ancestry.
Anyway, I suspect an error in the parents of Mafalda. It is quite a rare
name. There is only one Mafalda in said

This is what the baptismals showed:
Toribio's maternal grandparents: Agostinho de Medeiros and Mafalda de
Medeiros
Jose's maternal grandparents: Agostinho de Medeiros and Mafalda Assumpcao

There is a conflict with the grandparents of Mafalda. What do the baptisms
of Sao Sebastioa about the grandparents names?

Thank you so much for your responses! It's helped me get a little bit of
an idea of why he asked for emancipation. We can rule out that his father
recently died. He lived until 1888.
I will be following Emilia's trail. Then I want to go back to the obitos
for Maia and make sure that these

It's unlikely he was disabled, if he were he wouldn't be able to pay the
Courts with his allowance. Over there and in those days, payments were
upfront. It took thousands of $$ to start a legal process.
Regarding the wife's age, that is not so uncommon.
In most cases, yes. Emancipation is "freedom" from Paternal or Tutelage
hold. There is emancipation for slaves as well but it is not the case here,
My guess, since he's almost 21, is that he was seeking his inheritance
portion of the parents' estate at emancipation time. Or, if the father

I'll answer you both here.
JR, no, I haven't looked for Emilia's parents in Faja de Baixo yet. I only
started my search Sunday starting with the records in Sao Sebastiao. So, I
have more work to do!
Mara,
This information is interesting. So, emancipation does have to do with
Do you have the marriage of Emilia's parents, said to be from Faja de Baixo?

Cheri,
The majority age in Portugal according to, [Codigo Civil de Seabra
(artigo 1058º)
de 1867] was 21 years of age.
Also and in accordance to the same Code, the age for marriage was: 16 years
of age for a man and 14 years of age for a woman.
This information was obtained from a discussion
I don't remember the majority age for a man to get married back then. Maybe
he wasn't majority age to get married so he is filing emancipation?
Hopefully someone else knows more about this topic and can chime in.

JR,
I think I may shift to Sao Jose and try the mother's village first. Their
are many obitos for Sao Sebastiao. It could be a needle in a haystack kind
of search through those records.
I have gotten a few DNA matches recently who have ancestry in the Ponta
Delgada area and none in any of
Cheri,
That's how I read it. But, if so, why? Could it have something to do with
him being the oldest surviving son and moving away from Maia to Ponta
Delgada to get married?

I notice Emilia was baptised in Sao Jose de Ponta Delgada and her parents
are from Fenais de Baixo. Why not try those places to see if is that where
they settled.

This is a neat little discovery for me that I had to share. I think some
others are also interested in the de Braga family of Maia, Ribeira Grande.
Jacintho Jose de Braga, (b. 21 Sep 1806), Maia m. 26 Aug 1829, Maia to Rosa
de Medeiros Pacehco (b. 4 Mar 1810, Maia) had 10 known children.
