David, This is all amazing information. Thanks a lot! You're related to wife as you can see in this relationship diagram from her to Florencia Rosa:
http://venturas.org/familytree/relationship.php?ged=venturas&pid1=I5&pid2=I152 This is all I know about her (and her children): http://venturas.org/familytree/family.php?famid=F60&ged=venturas In this case I think that Maria de Fraga Nunes is also Maria Coelho. Women didn't really have surnames at the time, and they basically had their parents surnames or a religious one. Such a lousy time for the CCA site to be offline.. João C.
