    2. Thank you everyone for the information. Can you tell me how I can get into the list archives to find the information that Jose speak of? The other information is very helpful and would like to check it out. Thanks Bob Camacho In a message dated 2/27/2012 7:33:23 A.M.

So the date of the baptism is indeed 1852, in Lisbon, being inscribed in 1869. To sum up :the date of the register of the baptism in Madeira is 1869, the date of the baptism 1852 in Lisbon. He was not a time-traveller ; -) Or a single person being born twice in two different places at different times....

    3. hello William, There are indeed some Freitas Brasão (or Brazão) in Madeira. As well as some Freitas Brás (in the 19 th century). It could be possibleh the spelling of Brasão - which to sound laproximately) in Portuguese would have to be written Brazaungh - was shortened to Brás or Braz. In that time, in Poruguese both brasão and Brás were written with "z", so:. Brazão and Braz. What kind of indications that he was Brasão do you have? It's crucial to be sure of his name, because you can be part of the Brás or the Brasão. Other point to investigate is where was João de Freitas Brás (or Brasão) from? Knowing his bith place can help a lot, because the Freitas Brás are from one freguesia (kind pf district) the Freitas Brasão from another, The change of the name from Braz to Freitas is not strange. Do not expect a lot of logic in Portuguese names along one given family. In America (and cultural areas influenced by it) normally you just have name and surname. It's a good idea to exercise your head in thinking how they thought in that time ; -) Not quite like today. Genealogy lingks with philology, sociology, general psychological and history of course. It's a fun ride, anyway. Best of luck, Cheers, Miguel de Castro Henriques.

    3. Bob, I am sure we are not forgetting about you but Camacho and Santo António is a lot to digest! In our list archives you will find a lot of messages on these two topics. Santo António is not a village but a parish of the City of Funchal, the capital of Madeira. However it really was a village unto itself! The names you mention are not unfamiliar to me. Unfortunately my records are presently in a slight mess. I will get around to it! I am a Fernandes Veloza from Santo António and naturally we intermarried with a lot of the clans from there. If you can find an e-mail from Paulo Perneta around 2010 or earlier, he wrote about the clans of Santo António and the interesting characteristics of this parish which eventually dominated the economic life of Funchal- aside from the English colony.  Paulo was to write a major work on this parish, but we seemed to have lost him on this list. If he  is around I am going to Madeira for about 7 weeks this summer and I am looking for him! If I am not mistaken another member of this list, Miguel, wrote about the Camacho family which seems to have a couple of different origins. ...and then you add Bazenga! Well that's Santo António! The Bazengas are very much alive and still living in the parish. One of "them" was a Secretary in the Madeiran Regional government. On another note for all interested  members of the list, I heard in the Madeiran newscast that Family Search has now signed an agreement with the Madeiran Government to access and digitalize all documents in the regional archives. it seems it is good news. I am not an user of family search. Could anyone tell me what it will change for us? Now I understand that it will take 4 years to complete the digitalization. I guess by then I will learn a couple of things.

    3. Thank you very much Jose! There are some indications that Braz is actually Brazao! I am new at this especially the verification part so I must totally rely of others for now! My mothers family is especially hard as her father was Chinese (Mun Chin Kung) was some 13 years older than my grandmother Antonia Freitas! They were married in Hanalei, Kauai, Hawii but the parents were listed as her brother and sister on the marriage certificate! Strange I know but so was the name change from Braz to Freitas in the next generation! It will take a while until I can get my head around on this!!!! Sometimes I think I must place myself back in time so I can understand how they thought back then! I am deffinately a work in progress when it comes to finding relatives! Again ...Thank You!
