The text is dubious: Francisco is surely son of Francisco, but it's not clear if Joana was only his father's wife or his mother. And I have doubts if the surname was Espinoza or Espinola. Looks like Espinoza, but Espindola Bettencourt is a common combination.

The first record on the top right page. http://pg.azores.gov.pt/drac/cca/biblioteca_digital/SJVVB1660-1700/SJVVB1660-1700_item1/P305.html What I think it says is this - Padrinos, captain Francisco de Espinosa & betencourt son of Captain Francisco Pirez Machado and D. Joanna, wife of Captain Francisco Pirez Machado. Would I be correct in thinking that Francisco Espinosa de betencourt is also the son of D. Joanna? thanks, Suzanne -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. Follow the confirmation directions when they arrive.
