I am having difficulty understanding this baptisimal document. Could someone be so kind to help tra
I believe it is for Maria, born ___ January 1846 in Lomba da Maia and that her parents are Francisco da Costa and Anna Jacintha and they are also from Lomba da Maia. Does it also have grandparents names? And what is in the margin? She was married 30 Sept 1861 in Maia. Thank you.

there's no mention of grandparents. In the margin there's a notation that a certificate was requested on the 14th Sep 1861. It must have been for the marriage "application"/process. It was a usual legal requirement.

Thank you very much!
it is curious to me that some baptism records have grandparents...but some do not. Is there a pattern of which records did and which didn’t?

that info was only required to be mentioned on the records from a certain time period that unfortunately I can't recall right now. As soon I remember where I learned that, I'll share it with you.
