I posted this unusual record that has a margin note to correct the name and 
gender of the baby 41 years after the baptism (Francisco/a on left).

At the time I thought the mistake went undiscovered for so long because she 
didn't need to certify her identity for something like a passport or 
marriage.  I was wrong.  I found her passport in Angra in 1920 (#134 on 
left).

I also found a marriage in 1921 of a Francisca Dutra, daughter of Joe Dutra 
and Maria Spanica (Esperança?) in Manteca, CA.  I am pretty sure this is 
the same Francisca.

Now I wonder what might have triggered the 1941 discovery of the error from 
1900 and its subsequent correction.
