just an aside: I also think the padrinho seems to be playing with how he will sign his name as he becomes a full adult (ok, which is cooler? this A or that one? Antam is nice and solid, but maybe too old fashioned?... hmmm... definitely keep the swirls.) :) Linda On Saturday, January 7, 2017 at 5:49:37 PM UTC-8, Maria wrote: > > Although the record is good, I'm not sure about the father's name. > Because I'm searching for ANTONIO Ferreira, I thought I found the right > couple.
