An extraction of Ludivina's [sic] baptism record is included in the application file: On 20 October 1883 in the parish of Sao Bras of Arco da Calheta was baptized Ludivina [sic], legitimate daughter of Francisco da Silva das Fontes and Roza de Jesus, natives of this parish and residents of the village of Pinheiro. Grandaughter on her father's side of Antonio da Silva das Fontes and Isabel de Jesus, and on her mother's side of Antonio Fernandes and Anna de Jesus.
