The other name is Silvestre de Viz but I am not sure as I have not seen that name before. Also if you look at the names of the Witnesses one is Amado Teixeira de Sousa and the other is Manuel Perreira Madruga

In this record, at first glance it appears that his last name is Joze Perreira but as I look at it, I see an X in the name, and am wondering if it looksTexeira to anyone else. also is Maria's father is Silvestre de Viz? The Perriera/Teixera name clarification would make a big difference in my searching because I have found various records for Joseph Teixera and Maria Furtado during the 40 years I am searching, but no birth, marriage, death records or births of children under Maria Furtado/a and Jose Pereira. If I have been reading the marriage record of their son Manoel wrong, this would clear a lot of things up. Thanks Suzanne -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected].
