Can someone help me read this Baptism of Maria Florinda.


Father:  Lourenco Jose de Sousa

Mother:  Luisa (Luiza) _____ - I cannot make out last name (Luisa Rosa - in a prior record)

Nordeste Sao Miguel

I am trying to find the parents of both Mother and Father if listed or more if possible.  Thanks so much for any help.  I am trying to get better at reading these.

Names I think I see and more, but can't tell who the grand parents are and who the priests and families of priest are?  It seems to go into quite a bit of detail of the Reverendo?

Padre:  Virginio son of 
Manoel de Sousa Pimentel

Godfather?:
Mathios Jose Jacindo

Son of
Someone I cannot figure out?

and then

Clarencio Jose Joachimo Soares Dutra

Antonio de Medeiros

I see the 6th of November seventeen hundred and ninety something.  I think it’s eight but; not sure about that.  Baptized on the 21 say of the same month and year.  I see the same as you for the dad and the mom is Luisa Francisca.  Natural of this parish of Nossa Senhora de Rosario.  Godfather was Matteus Jose Jacinto who was a son of the family of Ensign (can’t read the first name) Jose, widow.  The names at the bottom are the witnesses.  Hopefully, someone else can fill in the missing pieces.

Florinda, daughter of Lourenço José de Sousa, native of Nossa Senhora da Estrela of Ribeira Grande (so that's where you find his baptism), and Luiza Francisca, native of this parish, Nossa Senhora do Rosario, place of Achadinha, born on 16 Nov 1000 700 90 and 8 (spelled oyto instead of oito). So Sam got 1798 right.  Then some church stuff. Then godfather: Mathias Jose Jacinto, son of the family of Alfares  a...ndo Jose, widower, from Nossa Senhora da Conceicao of the village of Ribeira Grande.

You are in the 2nd time period. Grandparents are not given. You have to find Lourenco and Luiza's marriage. Since they are from 2 different freguesias, you look in the bride's first. So check Achadinha for the marriage and then check Ribeira Grande - N.S. da Estrela church.
Good luck,

There’s another detail, the margin note should be taken into account as her name seems to have a change or addition.

 

Margin Note:  Maria nome q.e lh poz Sua Ex.a R.mo qdo. a Confirmou ( Maria, name given/inputed by His Reverend Excellency (Bishop) when he Confirmed her)

Thanks all!  I think I found the marriage cert late yesterday so will try to see if I can sort and might post!  Really appreciate the tips and help!  I get faster at it.  Took me a day to decipher in the past what only takes 1 hour now!  LOL!  I am hoping to get accurate and faster!  Really appreciate your help!

Just wanted to double check the 2nd time period phrase.  Meaning Marriage 1st and then birth of kids being 2nd?  Parents are only listed on first marriage and not listed at birth or baptisms?  Only first marriage.  Something I didn't know until last time.  But, just wanting to make sure that I know understand 2nd time period.  Thanks!
