Referring to the father's surname - I believe the abbreviation refers to the surname Gonsalves. The mother's name is Caterina Vultao (sometimes the surname is written as Bultao). The [writing] in this record is common for the era; many 17th c., and earlier records, list the year in numerals - you should also note that the month sometimes also bears a number such as in the record below the one you referred to (8tubro). Finally, although this record does list the century, many do not. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
