That makes a little more sense, Linda, and looks closer to what looks like Garcia on another granddaughter’s baptismal entry. Tereza is looking pretty good as well. JR seems to agree as well and all the other info is what I could read so thanks for the confirmation!
>From your experience, would a marriage entry have more information on a parent’s time living in a village. In reading Antonio’s sister’s marriage entry (Alexandrina and her husband Joao Carvalho) I thought I read something about the mother residing some 30 years in Bretanha. I’ll include the links here if you care to take a look —> http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-C-1870-1879/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-C-1870-1879_item1/P177.html & http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-C-1870-1879/SMG-PD-SAOSEBASTIAO-C-1870-1879_item1/P178.html I really want to follow them into the mainland because I’m wondering if they are my Jewish connection - it’s just a hunch but I’m willing to track it down. Thanks again for the help!

If you look at the "C" in "nasces" (right after Maria's last name), it's the same as in "Gracia". The "a" looks like an "o" to me too, but I'm fairly sure it's an "a". As for Maria's last name, at first I couldn't make it out at all, but then it snapped into being: "Tereza". I could easily still be wrong, so others should weigh in too! hope that helps, :) Linda On Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 7:32:53 PM UTC-7, Joanne wrote: > > Ok, here’s a brick wall I’ve been trying to crack for years.
