I have most of the information from Francisca (Ignacia) baptism record. Her parents are Joam Martins Gil and Maria do Espirito Santo. I’m trying to get the information about the godparents. I have Manuel Martins Gil and Theresa de Jesus, children ???? of Antonio Martins ? and his wife Maria Nunes. The record is on the lower left side of the page.

Thank you, Doreen Caetano

What does pedeiro mean? I saw this word after his name in another record.

Try Google Translate, or your favorite translation service (if you don't have a dictionary).

Stone mason. Go out to Google Translate and you can get a good idea of some of the words.

Since it was in several records I was thinking it might have become a nickname but I guess not. Since I do not speak the language I do not know if that could have been or is it even a possibility…for that word to be used as a nickname.

Thanks for your help. Have a great time at the conference. I wish I was able to travel but my leg still gives me problems and traveling alone is very difficult for me. I will be thinking of all of you that are lucky enough to be able to attend.  

God bless and keep you safe. Doreen

Pedra means stone. -eiro is someone who works the word that it is attached to. So pedreiro is a stone worker, but in English, we say stonemason.

Take a post-it note and put it on your computer with the word(s). You'll learn a lot that way.

Maybe your leg will be better next time when we go to Salt Lake. We'll be missing you :(
