Thanks so much. That is the record I was seeking. I have not done much research on original records (I don’t read Portuguese) and hope to do more. Is there any authoritative material on the naming conventions used in the Azores? Virtually none of the data I have from research done by another relative conforms to anything I have read about how the parents’ surnames are used and I would like to try to clarify it (if that’s possible).

If you go to image 351 you will find the correct record http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/PIC-SR-SANTOANTONIO-B-1 815-1846/PIC-SR-SANTOANTONIO-B-1815-1846_item1/P351.html There are a few things in the record I am not sure of as it is written in a different format than what I am used to but basically it is the birth of Francisco son of Francisco Antonio Silveira and Maria Victorina Paternal Grandparents Antonio Silveira Fagundes and Angelia Ignacia both deceased Maternal Grandparents Joaquim de Nevis and Maria Victorina. Born 13 Jan 1843 and baptized 26 Feb 1843.

It is on the right side of the page at the bottom. I tried to see if it continued on the next page, but it doesn't appear that there is a continuation of the record. The information I have from other sources (Grupo de História das Populações) is that Francisco Antonio da Silva was born on January 13, 1843, in Santo Antonio, Pico and that his parents were Francisco Antonio Da Silveira and Maria Vitorina, which appear to me to be the names in this record (although it's Maria Victorina instead of Vitorina). The father also shows in the the name Francisco Antonio da Silveira Fagundes in the GHP database. Can anyone confirm that it might be him and tell me what the rest of the record says? I can't confirm that there is a date of birth or baptism, but maybe it can be determined from the records before this entry. Thanks for any assistance.
