Hi Joanne,
How do you enter that information into your tree? That will depend a lot on
the program you use to manage it. This is clearly an adoption case, so
there is clearly a family with a married couple and at least one 'son'. As
to whether you trace back, or not depends a lot on you
facts, I'd deduce that they
did marry in Feteira before 1720, but the books are no longer in existence.
You'll have to resort to indirect sources for further research, such as
priest processes or similar.
