I'm not very experienced-- JR has the the definitive word here. :) But, I'm very happy to have a look at your record, and this is what I can read about Alexandria:
Alexandria, 29 yrs old, single, [---ada de servir = I guess, domestic service/duties], native and baptised in the parish of Nossa Senhora d'Ajuada, Bertanha, this council, living in this Matriz, legitimate daughter of Antonio de Medeiros, native of the [previously] referred to parish of Nossa Senhora d'Ajuada, and of Maria Jose, native of [the] City of Braganca [--?] Portugal If Alexandria was a native and resident of the parish, then it seems likely her mother--if still living-- would have resided in Bretanha for that long too. But the record doesn't say that. Do you have Alexandria's or Antonio's Baptisms? Or Antonio de Medeiro's + Maria Jose's Marriage? good luck! :) Linda On Saturday, August 27, 2016 at 8:40:15 PM UTC-7, Joanne wrote: > > That makes a little more sense, Linda, and looks closer to what looks like > Garcia on another granddaughter’s baptismal entry.
