Cordeira (spelled Cordeyra). Use word shapes. Carreira has the upper case C then all the lower case letters are relatively the same size. With Cordeyra/Cordeira, you have the upper case C and then the "d" that sticks up above all the other lower case letters. I hope that makes sense.

Dave,
I do see that the 2nd instance of Cordeyra doesn't have that hook at the top of the "d," but it's got to be Cordeira. Carreira doesn't fit. 

Do others think that all 4 say Cordeyra? Bill? Anybody? This starts at line 9 from the bottom (not counting the signatures).
