Susan, I see : Maria, daughter of Joao Sousa Maciel and Marianna da Gloria. She was born 10 Dec 1865. Paternal grandparents were Manuel Homem Silveira and Marianna Josefa. Maternal grandparents were Antonio (?) and Inacia Balbina. Note: I used modern spellings above in Sousa and Inacia. Also, Antonio's surname seems to disappear where the page bends inward.
I checked CITCEM but it gives the birthdate in August, which baffles me. I am on my iPhone so I often am cautious on being too definitive when viewing on a small screen, but, I really see December on the first line. I'll go back and see if the birth was four months earlier with the baptism much later. Not unheard of, but more often than not just a few days apart.
