The correct term for both births should have been "adulterino(a)" "Natural" means that while the parents were not married to each other, they also were not married to anybody else, and therefore there was no legal impediment to a marriage of the two parents if they wanted to marry. "Iligitimo" usually means that the father of the child was married to somebody else, i.e. he could not marry the child's mother even if he wanted to. JMR

Then in 1800 Maria had another child [filha natural] named Mariahttp://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PV-MAEDEDEUS-B-1880-1882/SMG-PV-MAEDEDEUS-B-1880-1882_item1/P16.html This baptism record states the husband has been absent in Brazil for 8 years. About two years later Maria has a son [filho adulterous] named Manuel, again states the husband as being absent. My question is what makes the Manuel's birth adulterous but his sister's birth NOT adulterous?
