Hello all, I've been buried in the confessional rolls of Graciosa trying to find my ancestors Manual Machado (b.abt.1805), his son Francisco Machado, and his son Jacintho Machado but last names are not often used. For example, the following document seems like it could be my Manuel Machado and two children I wasn't aware he had, but his name is abbreviated. I saw "Maxado" spelled out on another page and yes, I know that the 'X' is used in place of the 'ch' but I wonder why they abbreviate it some places and not others and if anyone has a key to these abbreviations.
The example I'm asking about is in the lower right of this page: http://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-S-1867-1869/GRA-SC-SAOMATEUS-S-1867-1869_item1/P73.html Many thanks!
