Hi Richard, It drives me crazy when you do the snips. I can't compare his handwriting to something else :(
Is this a marriage? If I back up to the end of line 3, I get: Manuel Lopes, son of Francisco Lopes and of Maria Eugenia, baptized (nat^e ... I'm pretty sure it's an abbreviation. I think it's for native), something, something. I can't figure out the efferida word, but I wonder if the next word is Prioz.... Or if that "z" is an "x?" Whatever it is, it's referring to the baptism of Manuel Lopes, the groom. I think this is a marriage. Anyone else?
