Hi Pat Vencislau Rodrigues Ferreira. He was christened on 22 Mar 1827, Acro da Calheta he was born on the 2nd of March. Interesting to note that on the left margin of the record it says Vencislau fo de Joao Roiz Fra. However in the record it gives the father's name as Manuel Rodrigues Ferreira (a mistake I assume) and the mother's name Margarida Antonia. Joao and Margarida were married on 14 Apr 1825 in Arco with Joao's parents being Jose Rodrigues Ferreira and Maria da Ressurecio(deceased). Margarida's parents were Antonio Rodrigues Capelo and Maria de Jesus.
