Clergyman, Candido Muniz Furtado Signed: Fran.co de Pimental Francisco X da Costa Questions: 1. Are the names of the maternal grandparents missing? I can't find them. Why would this be? 2. Were the godparents literal children or were they merely unmarried and their parents names used to identify them? Any other comments also welcome.
