What I have so far: On the twenty fifth day of February in the year one thousand eight hundred eighty-four in this Parochial Church of Our Lady of Help in the municipality of Sao Roque of Pico Island, Diocese of Angra, I have solemnly baptized an individual male, to whom I gave the name of Manoel, and was born in this parish, two o'clock in the afternoon of the twenty-second day of the current month and year, legitimate son of Manoel de Macedo Vieira, homeowner(?), and born to Francisca Marianna, housewife(?), natives, parishioners and residents in this parish, which received the paternal grandson of Manoel de Macedo Vieira and Isabel Ignacia, and the maternal grandson of Manoel Avernas Silveira and Francisca de Jesus. The godparents will be the maternal grandparents, quaes(?) everyone be their own. This record was filed in duplicate this sitting, which was read and confirmed before godparents with me for not knowing how to write.
