All, With help, here is my attempt at translating the document. I am reasonably confident that Paschaol de Sousa Leal (also known as Paschoal de Sousa Amaranté) is my 5th great grandfather which would make Paschaol de Sousa (his son) my 4th great grand uncle. This is a fantastic find and my thanks to those that have assisted, If anyone can fill in any of blanks or provide corrections, that would be appreciated. Cheers Tony
