Help with translation - Antonio dos Santos

[Jadelyn Nakamura]

Aloha,

I was hoping for some help in translating the baptismal record for Antonio dos Santos (No 25).  I can figure out words here and there but I don’t trust myself in fully understanding yet. This is my mom’s grandfather (my great grandfather).  

Here is the link: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-VF-RIBEIRATAINHAS-B-1870-1879/SMG-VF-RIBEIRATAINHAS-B-1870-1879_item1/index.html?page=104

Thank you!

Jade,

Most of us (except the native speakers) started out with a word here or there. What words are you able to pick out? Right now, the priest/scribe's writing is really clear. This would be a good record to learn from. Start with the names (since they are usually capitalized). Let us know what you can figure out and we'll help you with the rest :)

P.S. You are in the 3rd time period. The records follow a format. Here are the keywords for the time periods and at the end, you click a link to get a baptism that follows the same format as yours. You'll be able to pick out a lot more.
