Hello, Roza is my 4th great grand aunt. Domingos and Barbara are my 5th great grandparents. I uncovered a sad series events related to this family. On March 5th, 1781, while Barbara was pregnant, Domingos passed away....bottom left of page.

I thought I would mention this to you since you said you're distantly related to Roza. Also, thank you, because I had not found Roza's baptism.
