I have been working more on my cousin's Raposo line. I have found Francisco Raposo's baptismal and now can prove he and Manoel Raposo are brothers (mother and grandmother match). The baptismals for this era are indexed in Mosteiros. As I was going through looking for Francisco's, I found this one: Francisco parent: Maria Francisca and Pai Incognito. This caught my eye because Manoel's grandmother was Maria Francisca who was also single.
The record I found was in the middle of 1836, which was too early for the Maria Francisca that I am looking for. However, am I reading the date right? It says Mil Outo Centos e Quinze -- 1815? There is a note at the end that seems to say that the entry was archived 5 March 1836. I want to make sure because I've been tricked by numbers before. If that is right, there is a slight possibility this is a sibling of Maria Jacintha, mother of Manoel and Francisco. More work would have to be done to prove that connection. Though it references Ginetes, which fits what I found on Manoel Raposo's baptismal record. Also curious is this is a Pai nao sabido...Does this translate the same as Pai Incognito? The reason I ask is the follows with "Neto Paterno Rajmundo de Medeiros and Francisca dos Anjos". Did the writer mess up and write Paterno instead of Materno (the Materno is missing) or could they have named the maternal grandparents without actually naming the father? Here is the entry: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-MOSTEIROS-B-1826-1843/SMG-PD-MOSTEIROS-B-1826-1843_item1/P96.html This has been the trickiest research trail that I've followed in a long time!
