Cece, Ana de Castro and Isabel de Castro Chamorra are sisters. In the Rodrigues de Gouveia genealogy they are given as daughters of Brites Chamorra (1612) and Francisco Lopes Esteves.. As per Meneses Vaz, this Brites Chamorra is the daugther of Gaspar Rodrigues de Gouveia and Ana de Castro (m.1579). And this last Ana de Castro is said (in these genealogies ) to be the dau. of Dr. Diogo de Castro and Margarida Ferreira. (Paulo contests that. See Rodrigues de Gouveia; forgeries). Anyway the two sisters, who also carried the name Ferreira, married two brothers, two Vaz Rebelos.(From the Vaz Rebelos) Ana (born 1613) married Antònio Vaz Rebelo,(around 1640) son of António Vaz Rebelo and Beatriz Delgado. Isabel married (1657) Francisco Vaz Rebelo, You're surprised that they not share a common name. It's not unusual for a Portuguese old family to use several names. But not using common names also means that the family has a bank of names at its disposal and certainly for display. So the Rodrigues de Gouveia (and they are far from being the only ones) used: a) Rodrigues de Gouveia b) Lopes de Gouveia c( Chamorro de Gouveia d) Gouveia Pacheco e) de Castro f) de Castro Chamorra g) Gouveia Cardoso h) Ferreira de Gouveia etc. all this names in the space of just two or three generations. We can not apply to them our naming logic.
