I believe I have deciphered the correct names and relations in the baptism record for Antonio Sousa de Nunes, my 2nd great grandfather (below). Except perhaps Matheus? I'd appreciate a check.
Finding the parents' location would be most interesting: "residents in the suburb of Alqueve" on line 4. Does anyone know about Alqueve? I can't find Alqueve on any map, and I can't find references to its meaning or location in journals, books, news sources, etc., except to the Topo area in general. I have the remote feeling the meaning of Alqueve has to do with a plant, and its location on Sao Jorge may be towards Santa Rosa from Topo. Alqueve currently has a postal code which is part of Topo, and it is one of 18 that are distinct from the 24 postal codes that are within the main town of Vila do Topo. Therefore, it is an outlying suburb with an exact address that would read: "Alqueve, Topo, Calheta, Ilha de São Jorge, Açores: 9875-101" where Alqueve is the Àrea within or adjoining the Ciutat of Topo.
