I have more information. Thank goodness the baptismals for Mosteiros are indexed!
I found Maria, daughter of Maria Francisca. Neto Materno (not paterno) are Rajmundo de Medeiros and Franca. dos Anjos (deceased), natives of Ginetes. She was born 15 Dec 1716. I can't read the Padrinho on this one. It starts out Jose. Anyway, I think I might possibly have the right family. I don't see any other Maria Francisca's floating around the index. Here's this baptismal: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-MOSTEIROS-B-1803-1826/SMG-PD-MOSTEIROS-B-1803-1826_item1/P111.html Mel On Saturday, July 5, 2014 11:24:42 AM UTC-7, IslandRoutes wrote: > > I have been working more on my cousin's Raposo line.

The reason I ask is the follows with "Neto Paterno Rajmundo > de Medeiros and Francisca dos Anjos".
