Thanks Rick for your suggestion and Cheri for your info. I had stopped looking at the baptism records at the end of December 1827, then looked from 1826 to the mid-teens. Took your suggestion started from December 1830 and eventually found Jose's parents marriage in late 1828. So I have been searching the baptism records from the marriage date forward. Since the early 1829 Mae de Deus baptism records have water damage at the top of the page the beginning of those records are missing the child's name, the father's name and at times even the mother's name. I'll have to go back to those records and try to find either a grandparents name or an Aunt or Uncle that happens to be a padrinho (hopefully I spell it correctly). Louie, you are correct. that is where I am looking.
