First off, I can't speak to what you have for Luiz d'Almeida, because, this 
baptism is for a child named Jose. Secondly, you don't have Pai incognito, you 
have (maternal) Avos incognito - in other words the mother's parents are 
unnamed. 

This is a Baptism celebrated in the Matriz of Sao Sebastiao, in the city of 
Ponta Delgada. The child, Jose, is the *"legitimate" son of Jose d'Almeida, 
native of the parish of Nossa Senhora da Penha da Franca, in the place Agua 
Retorta, and, Jenoveva da Conceicao, native of the parish of Sao Pedro, in the 
city of Ponta Delgada (*the parents were married). Paternal Grandparents are 
Jose d'Almeida and Miguelina de Resende. Maternal Grandparents, as I said 
above, are unnamed. The Maternal Grandparents were probably members of the 
social elite and frowned on their daughter marrying someone who was not. Given 
the names, and stations, of some of the participants, I'd say that the family 
was well-connected. 

Now, it is also likely that the Paternal Grandmother used different names, at 
different times - many women did so (sometimes they used their father's 
surname, sometimes their mother's). You can probably check that out by 
researching the marriage - in fact, the mother's parents may actually be named 
therein.
