This baptismal has lots of stuff squished in and way too many people involved.
http://goo.gl/Fbq02D Verissimo, bottom right. We've got he's the son of Maria Roza, and she's the daughter of Antonio da Cunha and his legitimate? wife, "ja de filha (abbreviated)?" Maria ^de Jesus squished above, living in this Parish Church of Nossa Senhora da Luzin Graciosa, and squished again is living something....faja, then comes and of pai incognito. Got his birth and baptism dates and the priest. Not sure about the 6 or so words before the godparent sentence begins. The the godparents were Manuel Ignacio de Bettencourt, native of this ____ (is that an abbreviation for freguesia?), then it looks almost like the abbreviation for wife, of the Corte de Lisboa (huh?) and of Perpetua Rosa, daughter of Boaterra (?) Correia, he's dead?, and of his wife _____ Maria da Cunha de Vasconcelos, something Manuel Correia de Quadros (??) living on the something of the faja of this something church parish. They answered as above, blah blah blah, then padrinho is hyphenated and it says Francisco (?) something Manuel Correia de Mello, something about the parish church, the of his wife Ignacia Josefa Maria de Jesus, then something about the referenced month and year. Too many people on this record and a bit squishy. He must have had some quick acting wine though, because he squished only in the beginning of the document. It wore off after 4 lines or so!
