RE: [AZORES-Genealogy] Joam da Costa (Might be his birth record -- can't really read it) Help!

Joseph,

How about the fact the baptism is for a child of Matias and the mother is not listed with Pacheco/a?

I have sometimes seen a father listed as Mathias one time and Matheus another time. So if your ancestor was Mateus, you can't 100% rule out you could find him as Matias, but it will depend on further research.

Do you think this is simply the wrong ancestors and not a sibling of your Joao da Costa?

I assume you know Joam and Joao are the same name.

Thank you Doug. I do see what you mean, and I now think that this does say Niculao, which means that this is not my ancestor. Still can't find my Joam.....

Per my previous post, he is the son of Matheus da Costa and Jozefa Pacheco (also appears as Pachequa or Pacheca). Can anyone read this. In the link below, it's on the right-hand page in the lower right corner. Looks like this is from Sept 1751? I need help verifying that these are in fact the names of the parents on this record. What about grandparents' names? Anyone see those?
