Hello - I need help with the MOTHER's name of João de França. (Lorinnas? Lovenas) I have several places where her name is listed I am attaching two records.

LINDACUNHA2

Lourenca Francisca de Jesus

Below is a link of a great guide which lists a bunch of Portuguese names as well as how to reading old Portuguese script.

I agree with LINDACUNHA2.

I would transcribe it to

Lourença Francisca de Jesus

(Using a cedil in the first "c")

Thanks for the link to the portuguese paleography document.

Best regards
