The abbreviation you referred to is for *Nossa Senhora da Piedade,* the church in Ponta Garca - but that reference is the *6th line down*; the previous line lists a parish, which is also abbreviated, but, refers to the previous parish in the narrative, of* Nossa Senhora da Purificacao,* in Santo Espirito, on the Island of Santa Maria - which she [Guimar], is* native* to, and *Nossa Senhora da Piedade*, Ponta Garca, as the parish where she is a* resident*. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ On Saturday, May 17, 2014 2:20:01 PM UTC-4, Maria wrote: > > Upper right for Izabel > > 4th line down > > After the mother's name, Guimar Gomez, there's a word that looks like > "familiar" (?)...native of - (?) here the priest abbreviated where Guimar > is from.
