Hi Bill,
The word is coroa CROWN. Our Lady of Miracles was invoked as the
Godmother and they touched the baby's head with her crown.
That was one of the practice's up to this day. Not very common but usually
based on a faith promise e.g. if the baby is healthy and all goes well Our
Lady will
Thank you Margaret. I was reading what I now know as (thanks to you)
coroa tocou as one word co???to-cou.
No wonder I couldn't figure it out even though the handwriting is very nice.

Cordeiro in Urzelina, São Jorge Island but I am struggling to read was
written for his madrinha. I have the padrinho as Antonio Machado Lisboa,
but for madrinha it looks like instead of a name it has a invocação de
Nossa
