This is interesting because it is a different interpretation than what I was given years ago. It pops up in records for my ancestor Felicianno de Mello. He was gone from his village for a few years because he was in the military. He then starts to appear as a godparent with thisphrase after his name. Another Azorean researcher told me it means "I swear it is him"...meaning there was some doubt to his identity.
