Nivea She was born on 20 Oct 1823. She was baptized on 29 Oct 1823. So you got it right. The priest was writing the wrong year when he realized the mistake, so he corrected it, this is the confusion you had, but your dates are correct. One godfather was the maternal uncle of the child: Thomas Francisco. The child also had a godmother from Angra do Heroismo, but for some reason she wasnt' present at the church. Jorge [Pereira Cotta] had an authorization [procuração] to represent her. I don't see her name on this document. I think that these are the basics of the document. At a first reading, I can't read well the last name of Jorge, I think is what I mention. Anyone welcome to confirm or change. Isabella
