Hi Margaret,
My husband and I have finished the baptisms from Santa Barbara, Santa Maria and I am now
on to the marriages. Now I need a few new Portuguese words. What words will tip me off as
to if the nubentes were related.
Thanks in advance,
Tish

Hi Tish,
 
This is for blood relations:
 
1st, 2nd and 3rd degree of consanguinity: "primeiro, segundo e terceiro degrau de consanguinidade de que obtiveram dispensa por sentença apostolica".   
 
Also, watch for; 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree of licit affinity.  It usually reads like this;
 
"alem do primeiro,  segundo e terceiro grau de afinidade licita, de que obtiveram dispensa por sentença apostolica". 
 
An exammple of "licit" would be when in-laws remarry each other after their respective husband/wife pass away, and or any other similar "legal" relationship.
 
Margaret Vicente

Hi Tish, I have completed all the births, marriages and deaths in Santo
Espirito, Santa Maria. I have all the earliest marriages of Santa
Barbara and Vila do Porto completed. If you give me the names I can check
my database to see if I have the genealogy you are looking for. Theresa

Of course I will share. Since I am still in the midst of cataloging my photos I have not done much with the databases. If you would like the photos whether they pertain to you or not I will send them directly to you, one by one. I don't remember and Cordeiros and very few Tavares do Regos... There are plenty of Soares.

Theresa,
Amazing. I know how hard it is to read these records. For starters I would be interested in Captain Manoel de Sousa de Figueiredo and Dona Isabel de Chaves 
who were the parents of Joam Soares de Figueiredo. I have Joam's marriage record 20 May 1708. Joam married Maria de Braga, father Gaspar de Braga (deceased) and his wife Francisca de Morais. I believe both sets of parents records will probably be found in Vila do Porto. I have Francisca's obit from Santa Barbara.    MAR100_0080 Joam Soares de Figueiredo and Maria de Braga.JPG
I included the marriage record for Joam. There are a few words I can not make out, but I think I have the gist.
Thank you for any help.

Hi,

What you have is basically what I have, I do have the descendants of
Manuel Soares Figueiredo and Isabel Chaves. I do not have any children

Braga as her father, but I have Maria Morais as his wife not Francisca. I

Thank you is such a small response to the mounds of information you have sent to me. I feel so humbled to have received such a wonderful present and will spend many an hour pouring through your three hours of work.
I went on line and looked at the articles you have written and was also humbled by your wealth of information. I hope you will write more about the islands history and the wonderful people I am proud to be a part of.
Thank you again,
Tish
