Interesting that Donna's ancestor and mine (Julia Augusta de Freitas) share the same name. My ancestor's father was the son of "paes incognitos," his children used the surname of de Freitas (surname of his spouse) as well as Camara, the name given to him as a ward of the concelho. Donna, and her cousin Leilani are both related to my cousin Antonio Silva, who is now deceased. To date I have not found a common direct line ancestor linking Donna's and Leilani's familiy with mine.
