"x" is an abbreviation for "ch." You'll also see "Paxeco" in some records for Pacheco. I'm sure there are other examples as well.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Baptism - Manuel - son of Joaquim de Sousa Bettencourt
I show the last name as being spelled Caxeta. Francisco Pereira Caxeta is a child of Manuel Pereira Caxeta and Maria Silveira and 45 years old. (Manuel's mother's brother) This would make him Manuel's uncle. I have not seen the name of Antonio Homem da Costa before. These mysterious names that pop up!

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Baptism - Manuel - son of Joaquim de Sousa Bettencourt
Hi, Invoking the the parish saint (for my town, it was Nossa Senhora do Rosario) was common practice back then. Normally, they just referred to her as "Nossa Senhora". Someone needed to represent Nossa Senhora and it was normally the Sacristan or someone chosen by the family.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Baptism - Manuel - son of Joaquim de Sousa Bettencourt
Yes, they invoke the Virgin Mary (Nossa Senhora or Our Lady) by someone touching the crown. It was typically done before the 3rd time period, but I still see it here and there in the 3rd time period records.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Baptism - Manuel - son of Joaquim de Sousa Bettencourt
After the godfather, which as Sam said is Antonio Homem da Costa (who is single), it is mostly the normal church script as Cheri said. I think the confusing part is that they did not name a godmother. Instead it says that for Madrinha they invoked Nossa Senhora touching the crown of the statue and it names Francisco Pereira Cachete (a married stonemason). I assume he must the one that did the invocation or is named as a witness to it. I am not familiar with this practice. My translation might not be exact but I hope it gets the gist of it.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Baptism - Manuel - son of Joaquim de Sousa Bettencourt
David L, Can you specify what parts? After the godparents, it's the usual church language about that the baptism was read back and everyone verified it was true and the baptism was drawn up in duplicate (one set for the church and one for the Diocese/Vatican or wherever it goes), and the witnesses or godparents sign.
