Hey everybody,

I could use some help making out and interpreting these margin notes (which I just learned are called averbamentos?) for Jose

I take this to mean he married Maria Franqueira(?) da Silva who was from Cividade, Braga. But I'm reading he married her twice? and then died December 16, 1953?

Hello David, this is how I see the notes:

Note One:  He married Maria Franqueira? da Silva in the church of Cividade, Braga, on 20 Oct 1951.  It does not mention her age, nativity, or parents.  Note written in Angra on 19 Nov 1951

Note Two: He was widowed by Maria Franqueira da Silva on 21 of November passed (1953) in the parish of Cividade, Braga.  Obit register 1056 in Braga.  Note written in Angra on 16 Dec 1953.

Note Three:  He married Maria Franqueira da Silva de Amaral, 24 years old, native of Sao Vitor, council of Braga, daughter of Francisco ?? da Silva and Luisa Rosa Franqueira in the Cividade church, Braga, on 10 August of the current year (1963), record number 373 of the conservatory in Braga.  Note written in Angra on 3 Oct 1963.

I do not see a note about when he died.  The woman he married in 1951 that died in 1953 seemed to have nearly the same name as the woman he married in 1966.

Cividade is part of Braga's main parish
