Hi Doreen, I suspect the Francisco and Beatriz couple you have in your database is the correct couple (parents of the brother/sister godparents) and the priest simply made a mistake by repeating the godmother's name instead of her mother's. I do not find a Francisco Gonçalves Velho marrying a MARIA do Espirito Santo on the Terceira marriage index, but there is one marrying a BEATRIZ do Espirito Santo (which you know because you put it in another post)
Furthermore, in a quick scan I found three children from this couple. *http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838_item1/P33.html* <http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838_item1/P33.html> (Francisco, bottom left) *http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838_item1/P105.html* <http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838_item1/P105.html> (Maria, top right) *http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838_item1/P166.html* <http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838/TER-AH-ALTARES-B-1826-1838_item1/P166.html> (Joam, bottom left) I think it likely that the Francisco and Maria above are Narcisa's godparents and the priest just made a mistake on their mother's name. I hope this helps. Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Azores Genealogy" group.
