Thanks to you and the other responders I am close to resolving a conflict in records that I have. The translations of the names helps a great deal.

This is just an abstract. On the marriage doc you sent I read the following and what is in brackets is the name/names possible for the abbreviations. 14 may 1764 Manoel Fra. [Ferreira or Faria] son of Antonio Fra. [Ferreira or Faria] de Azevedo and Anna Sylvra. [Silveira] Ma. [Maria] Tereza daughter of João G[r or s]a. [Graciosa?] Pra. [Pereira] and Tereza de Jezus test Manoel Francisco Pimentel and the Pe. [Priest] João Silvra.[Silveira] Dutra The birth registration I read: Manoel, son of Anto. [Antonio] Fra. [Ferreira or Faria] de Azevedo and Anna Sylvra.[Silveira] Born 29 Nov 1733, baptized 3 Dec 1733 Godfather Dos. [Domingos] Dutra and Tereza Maria I do not read Surra anywhere on marriage neither birth document.

The problem I have is that I can’t figure out how the database entry for “Surra” was derived nor can I find any indication that “Surra” is a Portuguese surname. There are other mysteries revolving around the database entries, but those are for another day. I am hoping that someone can read and translate the two records I found and offer any insights on the “Surra” name. The file names indicate the page number and database of the image on the CCA site. Thanks for any help!
