I'm afraid they do not link up, at least as far as the records go. It is interesting that a third brother, Manuel da Costa Loureiro, also used the name Columbreiro. I suspect that one of his grandparents are Columbreiro's, perhaps from Achada, where many early Columbreiro's settled. In fact I have Joao da Costa Columbreiro as native of Achada, resident of Maia. I found references to Joao Costa Loureiro in Ribeira Grande, where it appears he lived for a while and his spouse, Maria Vultoa or Benevides, sometimes used the name Benevides. Unfortunately, I cannot find my notes!!
