Hi there,
I've checked the list of short forms for names but was not successful with these names. First record, I think the father's first name is Pedro  (Po) and everyone's last name, except the godmother, is Fernandes. I cannot figure out what the godmother's last name is, it looks like Miz. 


TIA

Yes I believe you are correct for P.o (Pedro) and frz (Fernandes); miz is Martins.

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.
