Can anyone please help me to decipher some of the hard-to-read words on my Great-grandmother's baptism registo (Fajãzinha das Flores, 1854)? Or correct any words or names that I may have gotten wrong? [I've indicated in square brackets what I believe to be the written- out words that the vicar abbreviated.] Thank you so much for whatever help anyone can offer. Katharine
