Looking at the names on the baptism of Anna the writer in transitioning from 
the capitol “A” to the small “r” made the “r” more elaborate than normal. In 
both cases the name on this record is “Aruda” in todays spelling Arruda.  Going 
back to the marriage record it now looks that the writer wrote in the same way 
Aru – da. The Aru is squeezed together making it hard to read.

Thanks, Rosemarie, Rick, and Manoel. I have the baptisms of four of their 
children, and Antonia's surname is given as "dos Santos" on all but one of 
them. I was thinking of it as her religious name, but it could be a surname.

 

I like the suggestion of "de Ruda" however, because two of the children had, as 
godparents, children of Joana Tavares, widow of Joam de Arruda. (Actually, it 
looks more like "Aluda," and I was wondering whether Joana's late husband might 
have been a relative and whether Antonia's surname could have been either 
Arruda or Almeida. 

 

Here is the link to one of the baptisms (Anna, right page, top):

Thanks again for the input.

Nancy,

 

I have seen "de Arruda" written as "da Ruda". Not sure but maybe is "de Ruda" 
(de Arruda).

You have to look for the children born to this couple or all the marriages of 
their children to figure it out..

I don’t think it is Machada. The first letter is definitely not an “M” and the 
writer spelled all the other names out fully so an abbreviation there makes no 
sense.  I am not sure but the name is not common.

Possibly Machada?? You will have to try and find that couple having children to 
verify, Nancy!!

Can anyone help me decipher the second name (surname or religious name) of the 
groom's mother? (Right page, lines 19-20.) I've been staring at it for two days 
and am totally baffled. Here's what I have:

 

Francisco de Couto, filho de Antonio do Couto, e de Antonia de __________? What 
looks like a three-letter word or abbreviation ends the line, and the next line 
starts with "da." In context the word "da" does not make sense, so I believe it 
is a continuation of the three-letters on the previous line. I've checked the 
Family Search guides to Portuguese paleography and can't find anything that 
matches.

I will appreciate any insights or advice you can offer.

 

Many thanks,

Nancy
