If I could have help I would appreciate it.  Just when I feel I am getting better the records get harder to read as they get older.  This one though is written clear and I think I can make out most of it, but am not confident in the names and what the relation is to the child (get confused with the priest and his parents being mentioned) so any help would be appreciated.  This is my husbands great grandparents and the names are similar so I don't trust myself.  I have another to post separate.  Thanks for any and all help.

This first record I believe says:

Child:  Maria Carreiro 

Born: 11/1/1900

Parents:  Joao Carreiro de Medeiros and Maria Julia de Mello farmers

Maternal Grandparents:  Augustinho Carreiro de Medeiros and Theresa de Jesus

Paternal Grandparents:  Manuel de Mello Affonso and Bernarda Agusta de Mello

Godparents:  Jose Mello Cardosa and Maria Ricarda de Mello

The margin references Bernardo Sousa and Bernarda Correia, but besides the dates I cannot make out anything else.  So any input on that would be appreicated!

No problem.  As an fyi, I am related to the couples in your search and have them in my tree.  Also, Manuel de Melo Afonso and Bernarda Augusta are listed in the Genealogies of Rodrigo Rodrigues, Capitulo 366 Unico, N.o 5 and Capitulo 19.

 

I can send you what I have, pm me if you’re interested.
