Right side #6 Maria:  https://culturacores.azores.gov.pt/biblioteca_digital/SMG-PD-AJUDABRETANHA-B-1880-1889/SMG-PD-AJUDABRETANHA-B-1880-1889_item1/index.html?page=152 

I need some help with this record. It is very hard to read I think it says parents unknown. I need another set of eyes on this one.

Hi Rick,

I really tried my best to identify the parents, but all I could figure out was the following: 

Maria was born on February 5, 1884, the parents and the parishes where they were born were identified ("natural de...." and in the next line "natural desta freguesia"), so the father was from a different parish, the mother was from Bretanha, and the maternal grandmother was Francisca Joaquina (at the start of the next page). The godfather was Miguel de Medeiros; and the godmother, Maria de Jesus. 

Maybe someone with a better image processing software will be able to share more information. 

Cheers,

Carlos

I'm reading that Maria was a natural to Blank and was second with this name.Paternal grandparents unknown (ingognito)
If you have the parents names of whom you are looking for, look for the first Maria.

Joe,  Good Idea, I had not thought of that I can confirm I found the right Maria with the maternal grandmother's name (Francisca Joaquina).

Thanks for the suggestion.
