You are right. Not only are the birth dates the same. When you click on the child, Maria Perpetua, it goes back to the record for Maria, the “mother.” Also the parents Antonio and Maria were married before the parent Maria was born.
As Doug said, you need to do your own research, which it looks like you are. Good luck!

I really appreciate the Minho records. They have given me the start I needed in my search for ancestors. But I think I have found a mistake. I would like someone more experienced to look at these records from Santissima Trindade, Capelo, Isle of Faial and see what you think. The UMinho record I think is wrong involves Antonio Francisco Rodriques and his wife Maria Perpetua. They are listed as the parents of my ancestor Antonio Francisco Matos. But I have looked up the actual birth records of the children of Antonio Francisco Matos and Ana Thomasia Coracao de Jesus . None of the children’s birth records give Antonio Francisco Rodriques and Maria Perpetua as the paternal grandparents, rather they give Antonio Francisco de Vargas and Catarina Inacia. Here is the Uminho page for A. F. Matos: http://www.ghp.ics.uminho.pt/geneweb/gwd.exe?b=capelo;lang=en;p=antonio+francisco+de;n=matos If you then click on the page of Antonio Francisco Rodriques from there, Maria Perpetua, his wife, and Maria Perpetua the child have the same date of birth, maybe the first hint that something is wrong. These are three of the children’s birth records: Example 1. Antonio b. 3 Oct 1819, top right, 4th line, netto parte paterna de Antonio Francisco e Catharina Ignacia http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FAL-HT-CAPELO-B-1818-1824/FAL-HT-CAPELO-B-1818-1824_item1/P16.html Example 2. Gabriel b. 26 Dec 1821, top left, second line : netto parte paterna de Antonio Francisco de Vargas and Catharina Ignacia http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FAL-HT-CAPELO-B-1818-1824/FAL-HT-CAPELO-B-1818-1824_item1/P57.html Example 3. Jose b. 28 May 1829, bottom right, 5th line http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/FAL-HT-CAPELO-B-1825-1852/FAL-HT-CAPELO-B-1825-1852_item1/P83.html What do you think?
