Baptismal record http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMA-VP-SANTOESPIRITO-B-1779-1792/SMA-VP-SANTOESPIRITO-B-1779-1792_item1/P117.html
(left page) I could use another set of eyes on this record. 1. I think this is the Baptismal record of Francisca (although it could be Francisco). Anyone else see this differently? 2. Can anyone make out the last name of the paternal grandfather and grandmother? 3. What about the name of the maternal grandfather? 4. What is the last name of the child's godfather? Is it Braga? or Braganca? Thanks for your help. George -------------------------------- What follows is my read of the record Francisca filha de *Joam de Moura* e de sua mulher *Laurência Roza* Father: Joam de Moura (from Santo Espirito, Santa Maria) Mother:* Laurência Roza* (from Santo Espirito, Santa Maria) Paternal Grandfather: *Joam de Santos*? (or is it *Fontes*) and a last name that I can't make out Paternal Grandmother: *Maria da Margarida* (possibly *Fontes*) Both paternal grandparents were baptized in Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora da Assunção (Vila do Porto, Santa Maria) Maternal Grandfather: *Manoel de Souza*? (I'm having trouble making out his last name) Maternal Grandmother: *Anna do Rozario*... she is deceased. Both maternal grandparents are native to Santo Espirito, Santa Maria The child was born on the 25th of January 1787 and baptized March 6, 1787 Godfather: *Gonçalo de Braga? or Braganca* (son of the same *Manoel de Souza*? and *Anna do Rozario*) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
