Hi Manny, It sure looks like "Joao" to me but you're right that it looks a bit like Goas.....hopefully someone else will weigh in for you! This is hard writing to read! Nancy Jean (P.S. I've looked at your gedcom several times....should be easy to find with you being 2nd -4th cousin but I can't figure it out yet!)

Hello, I hope someone here could offer some help with the father's last name abbreviation for the marriage. What I read from the marriage is: Pedro de Faria son of Pedro [Joao/Goas] and his wife Maria Pereira. I'm not sure is the last name is an abbreviation or just "Joao". The ancestor is Alferes Pedro de Faria (b. ~1729 d. 18-Apr-1784) married to Rita Maria Andrade. I found a Pedro born on 17/19 Jan 1729 son of Pedro Goncalves(z) and Maria de Freitas which falls within his birth range however there is a discrepancy with the parents names. It is possible that the father is Pedro Joao Goncalves and the mother Maria [Pereira de Freitas/de Freitas Pereira].
