Well this one I can read but the baby being baptized has a very usual name. Need help with just the name of the baby on the top left side of the page. Thanks Doreen

Sorry, auto correct interference.  It is written Hylaria, present day Hilaria.

Really weird.  Funny part is “Hypatia” is also a name, albeit Greek 😉

 

Cheers, Cheri.

My brother in law and his family were so glad to know when I found out that because he was born on St Hilary’s Day he got named Hilary.   I know Hilary Jr. and Hilary Mendonca III will be so glad to know it was a common name in the Azores, lol.  They skipped passing the name to the great grandson.  😊 thanks Margaret!

And, according to my History of Math professor, she was the first female mathematician. She was murdered by some jealous male mathematicians because she was so outstanding. One final note of trivia, her father was also a famous mathematician. 

Just thought I’d add a note of trivia albeit off the original topic.
