Hello Janet and others, Is it possible that your Jerome Sebastian Pimentel was originally named Jacinto Pimentel? I found a Jacinto baptized in Fajazinha on, I believe, November 1 1855. Here is the link and what I understand it to read. Please chime in if you see it saying something else.

It's Glz (Gonsalves), though it does look like Gtz. Same with Alz (Alvares), sometimes looks like Atz. Or Miz (Martins) sometimes looks like Mtz. It may be priest's way of indicating short forms. JR On Tuesday, June 25, 2019 at 11:56:37 AM UTC-4, Leonor Bertoni wrote: > > Thank you everyone! I
