First time I've seen this: Baptisms are recorded with no dates. Almost all names abbreviated like the recorder was trying to save space. . The only other info is either the name of the godmother or godfather.
I found 2 children born to Antonio Ferreira x Maria Carvalha. The first one I could not read the name of the godmother but I think she's related to the father because the last name is Ferreira. http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-GINETES-B-1678-1707/SMG-PD-GINETES-B-1678-1707_item1/P118.html Right hand page-12th name down: Margarida, daughter of Antonio Ferreira x Maria Carvalha- can someone read the godmother(?). Something Ferreira Then the same couple had twins- if I'm reading it right(?) Right hand page- 18th down- Does it say: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-GINETES-B-1678-1707/SMG-PD-GINETES-B-1678-1707_item1/P119.html Manoel and Bras (Braz?) filhos of Antonio Ferreira x Maria Carvalho? After that the priest wrote the same thing in almost all of the records- something about "conmigo". (With me) The priest must have copied a lot of names from some other record; names that would have been lost. There's also a notation by a priest (I think) at the end of the list. After that the record returns to the standard recordings. (Thankfully!!?) Thank you for any help you can give me😀 I may have to look for marriages to get an idea f years of birth.
