Thanks for your help. I figured that they were seperated. I also have another record for them that seems to list Rufino as "imigrado"

If it is still his son or maybe its not. I always know something is up when the mother is listed first in a baptism record then casado to: This seems to say that she was the mother but she was married to:?? I guess that it unless it says filho or filha ligitmo then lists the father then it is otherwise not his.
