Ok that would make sense the part that still puzzles me is the “ son of Maria Maxima and father unknown of the parish NS Graca” it is almost like he knew who the father was he did not name him but did say he was from that parish. May be I am just reading too much into it.

So technically, N.S. da Graça is under the umbrella of N.S. da Estrella over in Ribeira Grande.
