Do Canto index of Nordeste (Machado lineage)

[jcarmi...@gmail.com]

Hello,

Does anyone have the Ernesto do Canto index or Rodrigo Rodrigues information regarding Nordeste (S. Jorge matriz) and any Machado families?

I am researching the family of the priest Jacinto Felix Machado in efforts to find my JF Machado and his brother Honorato. I also have a clue they went to Brazil before ending up in CA. I’ve documented many families via baptism records and am trying to figure out the best way to index them for others to access as well.

Thanks for any help!

Jan,

Ernesto do Canto did a whole lot of marriage indices for the freguesias he was interested and only for what he considered important families (probably to him). Here's a page of one of his indices from Achada:

His penmanship is the main, thinner writing. The thicker writing is that of Rodrigo Rodrigues who went through and added more stuff or was just a 2nd set of eyes, trying to figure out what Canto couldn't. Canto did a few baptisms and deaths, but not a whole lot. I don't think it will help you find a priest. For Nordeste, he did only marriages (priests don't marry) and it's about 100 pages, covering 1583-1850.

Rodrigo Rodrigues is a 6 volume set of books. I'm sure there are Machado families in it. It's NOT a comprehensive genealogy of S. Miguel and S. Maria. Again, selected families or what were the prominent families of the time. I did not see a Jacinto Felix Machado listed in RR. Makes sense, as priests generally don't have kids.

Your best bet is to email Joao Ventura. He is an archivist and on this list. He works in the archives in Angra. For a fee, he can look for the "De Genere" papers that a man had to fill out to become a priest. They were to do a 4 generation pedigree chart (if memory serves me correctly). Contact him for the particulars. His email is heroi99 at yahoo.com.

Good luck!

I am indexing the Sao Jorge Nordeste Marriages.  I'm not done yet, very time consuming, so I haven't shared it yet.  

Here is a preview.  You can hit the CONTROL key and F to find a name.  There are some with the name Felix Machado.  

Maybe it will help with your search 🙂

Hi Cheri,

I will definitely reach out to Joao regarding the priest’s de genere papers as I didn’t know about that resource.

Thank you so much,

Jan

Thank you Susie for the index! Also you might want to get the Carlos Machado gedcom as it’s very useful for marriages.

I’ve been indexing the baptisms and most of the Machado family from Nordeste are related in some way - not surprising.

Also, thank you Angela for sending me the de genere info.

Jan
