Hi Kathy, The word "perfilhar" may mean that Marcelino was recognized by Angelo, who could have been his real father but was married and could not register his son to Umbelina. As you can see, by the time Angelo "perfilhou"João Marcelino, he was a widower. I don't think João Marcelino could be adopted when he was already 40 years old. João Marcelino lived in Pomba, Brasil and was represented by Rev. Francisco Pimentel de Noronha (a priest). I don't understand, though, how João Marcelino could be your husband's 3GG and his brother Baltasar, be your husband's 2GG. Did you husband's 3GG as a widow, marry her brother in law? The explanation for Baltasar having Angelo's surname may be that both Baltasar and João Marcelino were Angelo's children and both were "perfilhados" or Baltasar, if he was younger, may have been born after Angelo was a widower, therefore he could be registered with his father name, although the parents were not legally married. Hope this helps. Luciana
