Thanks JR What has me puzzled is that I have another record of a birth giving all the same names including the paternal grandparents. I just wonder if the writer of the document forgot to ask the parents and did not bother to go and ask them.
When I think of it paterno nao sabidos could mean I the writer do not know and paterno pais incognito would mean strictly the parents are unknown In other documents written by this writer around the same time he has always used the term pais incognito.

Paternal grandchild of parents unknown, though it is somewhat awkward to express it in this manner in English. It should be grandchild of unknown grandparents.
