Hi Paulo and Cece, My great-aunt was married to a Luis Nobrega Chicharo from Canico, her name was Clarisse Goncalves de Freitas of Sao Martinho. They never had children. He was born 25 Aug 1906, I don't know his parents names or anything. Does that name ring bells for anyone?? Denise D'Antona In a message dated 3/25/2005 10:52:45 P.M.

If you are, I have a cousin that would probably be very, very interested... :) Paulo
