I think I left out a detail here. Antonio Miguel de Braga and Maria da Gloria Rapoza were natives of Maia, Ribeira Grande. Sorry for that omission. I can track her mother's de Braga line easily. It's Antonio's where I am lost. Giving his father only an M. for a first name in the records isn't very helpful.
