The dictionary gives one meaning of ‘nota’ as ‘mácula, defeito’ (stain, defect). Could that be the meaning here? It would make sense syntactically.

That is, that there isn't any information that may create a doubt about the purity of his lineage. I'm not familiar with these enquiries in the 19th century, but would say that the enquiry on blood views asserting without doubt the person's caste. Caste in Portuguese language is/was used refering to very different situations, not only caste as we think regarding castes in India (for instance referring to types of grapes or types of people), but has always the connection of breed, type, class.

Here is a sentence which doesn't make sense straight away to me or to the one or two people I've enquired with. It starts with puro sangue...about 3 lines down. I'm attaching the sentence here for you. I don't want to make a mistake in interpreting it and I would really, really appreciate your help, so that I can arrive at a consensus.
