The age ? Not really. The legal majority was different along the centuries. It’s seems (I’m not sure) was 25 years old, because in some “inventarios”, I saw the expression, “menors less 25 years” with the intervention of the judge of the “orfaos” (father and/or mother died, sry my english is poor).
But they can married before 25 years, or a man can have a work (rarely a woman). Then, they are not more “filhos familias”.

For throwing more light on these 2 phrases by contrasting them. I didn't really know the difference before. I've seen the two phrases used on different individuals but had not thought to contrast the difference between them. So maybe the difference also gives an indication of the AGE of the person (?). Everything helps to learn some little thing about the ancestor. Thanks!

Record in question starts on the lower left page and ends on the upper right. I am looking for the children of Manoel de Mello & Maria da Silva my 4X great grandparents. The mother is listed as Maria Pementel(?). Where the padrinhos are listed the godmother is Francisca Pementel filha familia Maria da Silva.
