This baptism gives a date of birth of 27 Dec 1710 and baptized on 1 Jan of the same year.  It seems obvious by dates on the surrounding records that the birth date was actually in December of 1709. 

I am curious as to what is written on lines 4 and 5 between the date and the priest's name (...sete centos e des ????? por mim...).  All of the other records simply say "foi baptizado por mim"


Concerning an earlier post about the name Velho:  In this line of my wife's ancestors Velho is the surname at least 4 generations in a row (I haven't found Domingos' father yet).  After four generations of males using Velho, the son in next generation used the mother's surname of Braga.

For some reason i can't access CCA, so i can't check the recor. I was curious to see if your Baltazar had anything to do with mine also from Santa Bárbara, but i think mine shows up as Balthazar da Fonte, o Velho.

Be sure that the pages are in the correct order, because some older books from Santa Maria are completely falling appart and it's possible that they weren'r correctly reassembled.

Thank you Angela.  I can't believe that what I was seeing as filha plizado (nonsense) was actually foiba tizado.  Is there any significance to him writing "era que já corre"?  I don't see that in any of the other records.

Also, The padrinho of this Baltazar Velho is in fact Baltazar da Fontes, Casado.  Is this your Baltizar?  You will probably connect with my wife (Eduarda Batista) at some point as she matches at least of couple of FTDNA kits that you manage.  She had one grandfather from Santa Maria.

Thanks again,
Bill
